    small/light starting battery options for engine/sonar/lights?

    I've used a DieHard Gold U1R-2 (340 cold cranking amps/425 cranking amps at 32°F) lawn/garden battery for the last 12 years on my 14' Gregor/15hp 4-stroke Yamaha to power fish finder and downrigger with no problems and as I troll all day, the motor keeps it charged. Though it only got used for a...

    gunnel cracks

    gogittum, I agree with your take on suspension. My trailer came from a previous boat and is homemade. I did rebuild it but kept the same leaf springs. Way to stiff. However I'm in the process of getting a new trailer.

    Pics of transom brace. Anyone know how to post pics without them being sideways? Though they do straighten out when you click on them

    gunnel cracks

    I just looked at my old post and realized I never posted the repair. Welded the cracks and then added gussets as shown in pic. Also fabricated removable brace/bracket from motor to seat and repositioned boat with bunks protruding about an inch past transom. I'll get pics of the brace I made...

    best epoxy patch for aluminum

    I'm looking for a consensus on which 2-part adhesive epoxy for repairing aluminum is preferred by members? I'm currently considering J-B Weld 8272 MarineWeld Marine Epoxy.

    gunnel cracks

    Another contributing factor could be my trailers suspension set-up. I'm not to sure about the shackle location or size and number of leafs. Someday I would like to get a new trailer. I've been looking at EasyLoaders with torsion suspension.

    gunnel cracks

    DaleH: Bunks are about two inches shy of end of stern. Superlucky: Gregor is not taking phone calls but message says to contact via email which I did on Wednesday the 9th. Hopefully they will get back to me. maintenanceguy: I like what you did. One idea I had was for a removeable bracket...

    gunnel cracks

    My tentative plan is to: weld cracks (4043 tig welding rod) and to firm up motor to prevent transom flex by using solid, non-spring transom saver and add a removable brace from motor that clamps over the rear seat.

    gunnel cracks

    I'm the second owner of a 2000 Gregor H42 that I purchased in 2010. Great boat. It came with a 2007 Yamaha 15hp 4-stroke (weighs 114 lbs). Over the last eleven years, I've trailered it approximately 10,000 miles. Via I-5 or Hwy 680 (California), which most of the time are beat up roads. I've...

    theft

    Does anyone have a good method to secure boat contents from thieves while trailering? I pack my 14' Gregor with all my boat and camping gear under a decent cover but I worry about theft while parked and unattended.

    I've since talked a boatyard owner who tells me the leads are 6 guage. I took a closer look and it appears he was right.

    rodent proofing stored boat

    Thanks to everyone for your ideas. The one problem I'm up against is the boat is stored on my buddy's farm in the off-season. I'd really hate to poison one of his animals if it was to eat a mouse that I had poisoned. I was hoping to not have to turn the boat over, as most of the time when I'm...

    yamaha wire size?

    I'm getting ready to upgrade the battery/wire connections and fuse box on my 14' Gregor with Yamaha 15hp 4-stroke w/elec start. The motor is a 2007 F15CESH. Does anyone know what gauge the power leads from the motor are?
