My opinion- if it’s too rough in a 17 it’s too rough in a 23, and a pain in a 32. I’ve run everything in between and my general rule is don’t go out in rough weather and frankly the wave height that I don’t go out in didn’t change that much with the size of the boat. Another thing to consider is the age of the boat and how deep you want to go with just one engine. 12 miles put on a Sunday morning is different than 12 miles out on a Tuesday evening, if you use good judgment the size of the craft isn’t as important as the captain who pilots it.
I have alway done #3, pull the plugs, drain the block and poor antifreeze into the hoses. I never had any issues. Frankly I think most of the people who have issues miss a plug somewhere.
I have a flybridge with the autopilot on the lower helm. Needless to say my SportPilot I took off my old 21 CC isn’t doing the trick. Has anyone tried to rig a autohelm to troll with? It seem like a good fit for mechanical steering.
This is on the back of my marine toilet and is leaking. Does anyone know where to buy another one or at least what it is called. You put smell good pellets in it.

Has anyone ever cut and shortened a depth raider cord coming from the down rigger? I’m trying to move mine to the platform from the dash. Or is there a standard shorter cord I can buy?
