    Wellcraft V20 replacement of steering cable

    probably not. I think you'd be the first. Moving the hole down and aft to line up might make it possible later. You could try widening the hole back to the transom. My steering was still 1/2" from coming out.

    Headliner issue

    I pulled the carpet down from the ceiling. Horrible job....glue dust.... The dried orange glue was a problem. I never got around laying on my back to sand it and have it fall in my face. So I never did paint it. Still much better than the stinky carpet

    Transom rebuild V20 Jeanne Marie

    While you have it opened up, don't forget to re-do your deck drains/hoses/scuppers. I had a hard time finding original sizes. Ended up changing to new & bigger stainless scuppers

    Noob question hull cap separation?

    "scuppers" = overboard deck drains I would be good to look down the drain hole of the fishboxand see if there is junk blocking the pvc pipe that passes bilge water under the fuel tank.

    Noob question hull cap separation?

    I would do everything possible before removing the cap. That is the most difficult thing you could possibly do on a V20. That is a rebuild project. You have a cuddy model right? Two simple things you can do... two things you should have done the day after you bought it... Remove the gunnel...

    Noob question hull cap separation?

    if you think the boat is listing because of a leak in the seam under the rubrail, you need to look for water that is trapped and not draining to the rear bilge pump. The list may be unrelated to the seam but you need to look for a cause. You can remove the gunnel boxes. That will give you a...

    Fish Beware! Build Thread...

    IMO; You are over-thinking/over doing it with the battery. Leave it where it is. I ran a V20 cuddy with zuke DF140 on a single Grp27 Dual Purpose battery. Did that for 12 years. Replaced the battery about every 5 years. I did not even have a battery on/off switch.(although I would recommend...
