Ok thanks. Was thinking of doing the same for the wood core but maybe epoxy

Ya I think I might do the same. Where did you find the replacement gaskets? I couldn’t find them on Great Lakes website. Did you use 4200 in your installation?

Looking for a replacement pie plate or just the gasket for my 2012 2320. I popped the inspection plate over the fuel hose fitting and there was slug in there from where water had seeped in. I have the kind of pie plates that just pry off but cannot find an exact replacement anywhere. From...

That’s a nice haul! Had a day like that outside the gate when the halibut start lay up on the north bar. Think it was around mid or late July most years. We set a couple drifts with live chovies and scored two limits of nice grade butts. We then managed a couple chromers trolling between the...

Florida is a different animal, I am in the Northern California where it’s quite a bit cooler. There are plenty of days where it’s warm but a reliable bag will hold ice all day. An Opah bag should work well in your climate while still saving you deck space. I would buy a size up for Opah bags vs...

No I usually have at least one buddy on board and most of the time I have 2

Yup. When I fish outside the golden gate the only close ramps are inside SF bay which has loads of California halibut. Gonna run the Parker for some halibut this Friday but the tide is big so not sure how well i’ll do

Halibut is wide open right now when the tides are smaller. Salmon is set to re open in my zone June 23rd. Fingers crossed I get some time to go. Tight lines

I’m assuming more vibration towards the end. In many cases I’ve see that adhesive sealant wasn’t used either which permatrim recommends

Opener last year so fish were still smaller grade. Had one teenager if I remember correctly but no the bag was not full. Reliable bags have less insulation so they can hold more ice/fish compared to the same size Opah bag. Opah bags are incredible though they can hold ice for several days

I use kill bags almost exclusively. Saves deck space and less cumbersome than a big cooler. Use reliable bags for shorter trips and Opa bags longer ones. In the pic is where I store it while underway and fishing

Interesting, for whatever reason it’s always the two most aft bolts that get loose

Did you mean it lowered your transom while your motor was suspended in place on blocks?

If from your transducer it shouldn’t be from behind your prop. The drag from the motor being mounted too low can cause a roster tail, however, my f250 is also mounted on the lowest hole and did not put out a roster tail until my av plate cracked. Are you sure your not applying too much trim or...

You shouldn’t unless your ventilating somehow. When my AV plate cracked I noticed the same roster tail at low rpm then it went away on plane. When I got back to the wash down I noticed my plate was cracked. Is the roster rail coming from behind the prop or closer to your bracket? Could be your...

I think I know what you saying but when I felt around and tap tested his welds I didn’t notice anything uneven. The finish was even and smooth as a baby’s butt. I am going to add a full barrier of adhesive sealant though to prevent any unnecessary wear and fill in any uneven spots if there are...

Here’s the update. Decided to leave the previous mounting holes as they are the same configuration as the bottom mount plate I have coming. Welder did an excellent job. Great prep work, then he put a bevel in both the bottom and top crack to set up a bigger bead, ground both welds smooth. Now...

That’s the plan. Contemplating using the existing holes or not. My only concern is the top mounted plate that was originally installed was mounted further back then I believe the bottom mount plate will be

For anyone curious I am having the AV plate welded this Thursday. I am also going to fill the existing bolt holes from the incorrectly mounted permatrim. Then will grind down smooth and apply some zinc chromate primer and then finish with the Yamaha blue touch up. I ordered the Y9 bottom mount...

I contacted permatrim and they confirmed the top mounted plate is the incorrect installation for my f250. Bottom mount is the correct application
