Yes just foam in the middle. Back in March my marina damaged my rail pretty badly and there were some small cracks after the damage by the rail fitting on the pulpit. They have never told me what the damage was but agreed to repair the rail. They pulpit was left as is. When it happened...

Any update to this topic? Can the pulpits be bought direct from Grady or a dealer? At what cost? Can a stock pulpit available in various places be used? I had a mishap :bang

anyone with experience with this gauge? I purchased the 5532-231-2 for gas outboard twin engine on my 272 I have older johnson 2 strokes that guzzle gas. Ran out of gas a few weeks ago thanks to a faulty sender (also being replaced) but have no interest in that happening again. My question...

I too had some question as to whether my empty holding tank (with broken macerator pump) was due to and open seacock and some speed/hull generated suction. I decided to take the time to open the starboard panel in the mid-berth and discovered - to my horror - that the waste hose going to the...

In my case there are two seacocks (one for in/one for out) in that location under the access panel just behind the float switch and forward bilge pump.

That is amazing. If running at a good speed creates enough suction the empty the tank then what's the point of the pump? Either way you have to be 3 miles out. Do you think it creates enough suction to remove paper (only marine head paper of course) because my tank was pretty dry and I...

Any idea which thru hull the sump pump goes to? I have a feeling its disconnected and just pouring into the bilge. Is the one right next to the forward bilge outlet? That is my suspicion. Thank you in advance.

I have a '95 sailfish. I know the issues regarding the groco macerator and modifications have been well documented here. My pump finally failed for good and rather than spending the $500 to replace or deal with the trouble of the modifications I figured I would just do pump outs. My marina can...

South Florida Mid-90's sailfish27 owner here. Went out to troll for some of the tuna that are passing by last weekend. Was with the wife and kids. After a few hours we decided to check into a spot on the beach and chill for a while. I noticed my freshwater was not pumping with much pressure...

I would only add that I had known plenty of brand spanking new boat owners who have one issue or another nearly every time they take the boat out. Yes warranty helps at first but I think there would be nothing more frustrating that not being able to use a new boat because your fuel pump...

no... no new boat.... remember the last baby I had was a 15 year old trophy pro when I got it. I replaced more things on that boat than I can remember including wiper motors, windlass motors, two lower units and both aluminum fuel tanks. Still I would never say the maintenance or repair costs...

Thank you Marty. That is exactly what I did. I pulled the plug right at the motor. And thank you for indicating it is the motor not the switch. That makes a difference. If it was the wiper on the driver side I would probably replace the motor but I can live with sending someone down below...

Hello all I am a first time poster though a longtime reader. I have been a Grady owner for about 12 years starting with 1985 Trophy Pro and then last year upgrading to a 95 Sailfish. The boat was a great deal, low hours, etc etc... Lately it seems that every time I go to use the boat...
