I've been troubleshooting one of my OX66 225s. It had been running with even throttles but "stumbling" once in a while. I replaced the VST filter and that seemed to be fixed. About a week later we started with a similar problem I have to advance the throttle further than the other to get same...

was having some stumbling of my port motor when running fast in choppy seas. progressively got worse. replaced the VST filter and seems to have fixed the problem

First post of the 2019 season. The Grady is docked. Have a minor leak ing my new steering/autopilot...Shadow drive fitting leaking... But...Stripers are stacked up in the dock light on a running outgoing tide.

So I'm thinking of adding autopilot to my 265 Express. It has manual Seastar 1.7cu in Tilt helm. I would need to add power assist pump which I'm seeing as $1800...can that be right? For autopilot I see I would also need an autopilot pump at $400. And I would still need an autopilot from...

Launched the Grady on Saturday. Still needs a lot of prep but we couldn't stand it anymore so we ran out Tuesday at 3PM 20 miles to Shark River Reef with some clam. Drifted over a wreck and got some short 19"-20" cod. Wind too fast to fish it drifting. Dropped anchor for first time with this...
