I am trying to replace my starboard Lenco actuator. I hear the motor working but it doesn’t go out or in. I’m trying to find out where it enters the hull . Does it come in where the battery is or below that in the bilge area . If that’s where it comes in , it will be a difficult project. My boat...

Has anyone done a gel coat repair using a Preval Sprayer? I read some good treads on gel coat repair but none that I could find using the Preval. Thanks

I HAVE BEEN USING MY PROFISH FOR CLOSE TO 2 YEARS WITHOUT ANY BIG PROBLEMS. TODAY I WENT TO RESET MY ANCHOR AND WHEN I HIT DOWN ON THE SWITCH, THE 50AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS. HITTING THE UP ON THE SWITCH WORKS, BUT TOGGLING THE DOWN MAKES THE BREAKER TRIP. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT OR...

I installed a Johnson 5.2 washdown pump last season. It was working fine until the other day . It would work intermittently and now not at all. The first thing I did was to hook it up straight to the battery and it works that way. So I started to troubleshoot the connections one by one. They all...

I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem. I have a West Marine 5500 VHF radio which is actually manufactured by Uniden. I have used it without problems last season and 2 months into this season without a probelm . But now it seems that some boaters are not receiving me. I can hear them...

Last year I picked up a new Garmin 545s Chartplotter/fishfinder combo. I like the unit very much. However, I would love to have the ability to view two large screens at once ie, the Chartplotter and the Bottom Fishfinder at the same time. I was thinking of adding my older but still great...

I wonder if any one else has experienced this problem. I have a 2007 2520SCMV. To the left of the helm is a hatch cover. When opened there is a part of the bilge that does not seem to be connected fore or aft. There is a macerator pump high in the bilge and a hose from the pump going to a...

Does anyone have a lead on custom made Winter covers for a 2520SL? I have just been putting her under a tarp using a PVC frame that I made. I would like to hear how others accomplish Winter storage besides shrink wrapping. Thanks Bob

Well, I finally got to do the wiring on my ProFish 700 Windlass. Thanks to all the encouragement and help from the posts on CP, I got it all together over the weekend. I went locally to buy the wiring and West Marine wanted over $4/ foot for 4AWG. I found a site http://genuinedealz.com/ that was...

I am doing the wiring on my Profish 700 Windlass with a lot of help from many people on this site especially Tuna Joe and his great pics!. I have to connect 8Ga wire which comes from the windlass to 4 GA wire that will go to the switch, breaker and then to the battery. I have found butt joint...

I just finished drilling the hole for and installing a clam strainer intake for a washdown pump setup. I then added the seacock. Both are 3/4 in. Now I want to add a pipe to hose fitting that will go from a 3/4in pipe to 1/2 in hose end and preferably a 90 degree angle fitting. But I would...

This may seem like a very simplistic question, but I want to install my charplotter in the console and I have never cut into one before. Can anyone give me the steps, including the tools and the "watch out fors" to accomplish this? I have viewed many posts showing the different positions members...

I AM LOOKING AT INSTALLING AN AIRMAR P79 IN-HULL TRANSDUCER FOR MY RAYMARINE FF. I HAVE A PARKER 2520 MVSC. I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS USED THIS SET UP AND HOW IT WORKED OUT. I'M IN AN AREA THAT HAS HEAVY GROWTH DURING THE SEASON, SO HAVING IT INSIDE THE BOAT WOULD AVOID HAVING TO CLEAN A THRU...

I have a 2007 Parker 25SL with a 250 Yamaha 4 Stroke engine. I bought this boat used with about 10 hours on the engine back in June. The boat always collects water in the starboard stern of the cockpit. I thought it might be a weight distribution problem since the bulk of the cables etc are on...
