    mold

    I couldn't agree more. People can use quick disconnects if they like. I will take leak free and permanent. If it costs me an extra hose or fitting every few years, so be it. Sorry, back to the mold.

    Thru hull transducer for 2300CC: location and degree tilt question

    Like those guys said, you need a 20 degree assuming it's the DV and not the SE. I installed mine ('19 2320, same hull as the 23DVCC) in the location where the factory B60 was installed and it works perfectly. I will go multiple trips and not lose the bottom even momentarily, unless I blast a...

    mold

    I guess Parker didn't get the memo. Every hose connection in the transom of my 19, including bilge pump, wash down pump joint fishbox drain, livewell drain and raw water wash down have what appears to be a 3m product on there. What a moldy mess. Winter. I will take a leak FREE connection 99...

    Fuel smell

    This thread is kind of old. Ponr was here in May 2019. Lemme hit him/her up for an update.

    mold

    Man, if you haven't seen the story, my anchor locker drained like everyone else's (to the bilge) BUT THE DRAIN INSIDE THE HULL WAS PLUGGED. When water went in, it never came out due to foam expanding and clogging the PVC drain. It made me wonder if that isn't why water lines change on examples...

    mold

    To add to Andy's comment, I incidentally helped the "bulk water" factor by closing my cabin drain. I did it to keep water out of my bilge (during the summer from swimming). I had never considered the water vapor coming in. Also, the gunwale rod holder holes could easily be covered with a...

    Need too get rust stains off cabin carpet on pilot house

    Some thread somewhere, here or THT, there was a crazy expensive quote. They make a gray. The spray action is what makes the texture. The stuff mixes and is dry almost as soon as it touches down. The tape has a wire at the edge that cuts as the tape is pulled. I will look later. Sorry for...

    Need too get rust stains off cabin carpet on pilot house

    Imagine the inside of the PH being a light colored Line-x vs carpet. Sound absorbing, soft to the touch and tough. Just break out the scrub brush, done in 20 minutes. I like the carpet also, btw, and I have some Folex in my future.

    Need too get rust stains off cabin carpet on pilot house

    Oooh, I just saw your other thread with the rusty nuts/bolts. Those things need to go first. I would clean / rinse /dry that carpet well before I installed the new ones in case the carpet is salt-soaked. Maybe bring that pic over to this thread? Apologies if I missed it.

    Need too get rust stains off cabin carpet on pilot house

    Man, that looks like mold. Would it be possible to take a q-tip and put one little dab of diluted bleach in a tiny spot of the stain, for diagnosing purposes only? Give it 10 to 15 minutes and see what's up. It could be rust, but what is the origin? Is there rusted metal about? I had one of...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    I think Pelagic is looking for more comfort, but in the interest of idea sharing, I will throw this out there. You folks with the 25 and the extra beam may not notice it, but I agree that the arms get in the way on the 23s, especially when trying to access the storage under the throttle. It is...

    2300 - FWD Locker Thru Hull Replacement - Difficult?

    I don't live on a saltwater port, but while bronze does turn green or patina, I have never noticed it streaking. NOT trying to sell it at all, but any doubts look at your high speed pickup and through hull transducers. They turn green, but don't really "streak" green. I have a trailered boat...

    2300 - FWD Locker Thru Hull Replacement - Difficult?

    I really don't get you guys and 5200. I am no pro, but 5200 is meant for permanent applications. It does not MAKE it permanent. A wrench and debond and 5200 is off. My God, even Gemlux recommended 5200. My could be 316 stainless but not properly bedded allowing for crevice corrosion. 5200...

    2300 - FWD Locker Thru Hull Replacement - Difficult?

    QUOTE="pelagic2530, post: 160585, member: 498"] Since they’re above the waterline, I’d opt for polished stainless rather than bronze. It won’t get green and will look good forever. Gemlux is a good supplier of high quality 316SS fittings. I can dig that too. I just really like green bronze. I...

    2320 V berth cushions removed

    I keep my anchor ball and large fender / or grill tote under there, depending on the trip. I would miss having that dirty/wet/salty storage under the cushions.

    2320 V berth cushions removed

    Throw a few heavy blankets on there. Protects your cushions, keeps stuff from sliding and you can rack out for a few minutes if you don't get any sleep the night before.

    2300 - FWD Locker Thru Hull Replacement - Difficult?

    Put some nice Groco bronze fittings in there with 5200. Bronze, not brass. Forever done for like 40 bucks. I installed an overboard drain in the anchor locker of my 2320.

    Weight considerations: repowering a 98' 1800?

    Are you able to reword your title to include the F150? Also, if you are sure of the exact weight differences (including oil tank), just test with whatever you have. Add the weight of your favorite 168 pound buddy right on the transom. At rest would be the biggest concern I imagine. If you...
