Thank you all. Have some poly rollers on order. Black rubber just doesn't seem to last long.

Looking for any tips or tricks or advice based on your experiences. I got a new to me used Alumacraft Trophy 220 that had 2 black rubber bow rollers that are pretty much disintegrated. I thought about swapping them out for the V style poly type but the boat doesn't appear to be sitting right on them. What are the better options here or what has worked best for you? Thinking of 3 inch poly rollers versus trimming those V style down to fit. Also, I have always believed the winch cable to go between the rollers as pictured to the bow hook. Is that correct or should that be lowered so the cable is above them both? I should know better by now but always doubt myself that there is a better way.

I've got a 1991 Alumacraft and looking to see if anyone has any recommendations on what to use for the livewell drain plug. The hole measures 1.25". I could just push a rubber plug down in, but was looking for more of a pipe that would allow the water to flow down so it doesn't overflow. Any thoughts on what you might be using that works?

Is this close to Ithaca?

Thanks for the suggestions. We put water in the boat and found 1 rivet up front with a very slow leak and a couple areas on the transom and the motor mount bolts. Believe the mount bolts are due to the transom on its final year cause it is getting soft and didn't have a transom saver on for 2 years. The motor bouncing going down the road didn't do it any favors. We will keep looking Sent from my HD1907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks. Gonna double check the livewell lines and then fill her up, well at least to the floor

We have a 1985 16 foot Grumman and certain it is taking on water from somewhere. It pumps water out the bilge even though it hasn't rained or no other way of getting water inside. It is an aluminum hull with rivets. It seems to take it on slowly. We got 2 pictures of an area under the boat and I cannot tell if these 2 "holes" could be a culprit or if I need to keep looking. Has anybody else had any similar issues or offer any other places to look?

So all you do is half hitch 1 of these small hair bands onto your line and then loop a shower curtain ring through it? Essentially you will go through at least 1 per hit as they break, and you won't need any clothes pins as pictured in other releases??

Do you still have these available?
