  1. To add an autopilot to your main motor it must have hydraulic steering , which I did not have ( Next Project ) . I don't know if  an autopilot on main motor would work if motor was not running ?  Kicker runs great in rough i water Except going straight into rollers , avoid  it even with Main motor,

  2. Painted  surfaces and stainless ok , just rinse off good  also take caution on black plastic will discolor them white , Bare metals watch out . It will eat the galvanizing off a trailer real quick .

  3. Never tried muriatic acid , but MaryKate ON & OFF is probably the same stuff and is Great . pressure wash first to get the heavy stuff first  . I just wet down trailer and concrete first just in case . I apply on a small folded towel and just wipe on small section at a time so there is no dripping , also do the mercury motor lower unit and trim tabs . Looks like new again .  But the stuff is nasty - wear personal protection and careful not to get a whiff of it . 

  4. No need to remove hatches , check my picture . the gasket goes on the highest part of the well crown , not down in the drain channels . I will take more pics if you want . Gasket makes contact with the underside of cover , not cover lip . Maybe they changed the style in 07 ?

  5. That is one thing I never thought of , it would come in handy to charge third battery . will it keep up with amp draw or is it mostly for recharging  when docked ?

  6. Yes , mine is 5/8" wide  and about 1/4" hi , probably flattened out a bit . if it is hollow then it is the same. yours should be fine . When rounding corner go slow and press hard. Apply silicone spray to gasket  occasionally .

    Just remembered , I had to cut back side of lip a bit on one cover because it would  not clear the gasket . 

  7. Top and side attach with two # 10 ss screws , length depends on cover thickness . pre drill  and start screws first . Then silicone screws and bracket  before assembly , will never vibrate loose this way .

  8. They are called Spring Hatch Arms (West Marine 4914792 ).    The self-adhesive Weather seal I got from Trophy , they started using it in 2009 I think. or you can get close substitute at West Marine 1955046 . Just make sure you degrease area and scuff with Scotch Brite pad or fine sandpaper before applying .

  9. I have a 2007 Trophy 2002WA   .  what Upgrades were you thinking on the Fish wells ? I added rubber gaskets around the rim to keep rainwater out , new latches that are easier to grab and Spring Type hatch holders , you goota have these , keeps the well hatch open - tap the side with your foot or hand and it closes . I probably have every gadget on my Boat Except a Hardtop ( would not fit in the garage ).

  10. Tomorrow March 28 is the 4th annual Fisherman's Flea Market. Stop in and find Tons of Fishing Equipment and More . Open 9 am - 3PM
