What year is your boat?If more than two years old, you can get many replacement canvases from the company that made the original for Grady. Here is an example https://greatlakesboattop.com/

I assume you swapped the pos and negatives. I don't think that would kill the display. It may have blown out something at the engines or on the engine harnesses. There are several fuses on the motors, check all of them especially the smaller capacity ones. Does the display power up and can you...

Funny, I did try adding marine to my search but the audio console keep coming up. I tried again and got a Yamaha piano:) On the third attempt I finally found the display and it is similar to the 6YC display. I don't know what the differences are but regardless, you don't absolutely have to have...

did you mean a CL7? The yamaha CL5 is an audio mixing console.. Do you need a CL7,, no the gauges will display the basics.

I have to think about the dynamics of tabs with the same total area but with different dimensions. For example, would there be a difference in performance (or lack of) for two identical hulls, one with 9 x 12 tabs and the other with 12 by 9. I don't think I know enough fluid dynamics to figure...

Have you seen issues where a long span lifts out of the water stream on hard turns?

Deeper tabs are usually better especially since the 232 is a heavy boat.

That doesn't sound right at all and would scare me.

yup, that's my experience also. In some areas, I had to add the snap extenders to make all things fit. One problem is that the aft deck cover if put on after the dock lines are on, gets too tight for the rearmost snaps to reach, tool or no tool If you install the cover before tieing off at the...

The hook end works better than the tapered (unsnap) end does. I used to use the tapered end to pop open the press in access (pie) plates.

How long have you had the Ride product? Is the boat stored in the water? Do you have growth on the Ride actuators? Have you anti-fouled the actuators? I ask because I learned the hard way how fast things like barnacles will stick to the composite Ride actuators.

I missed that part of the post:) On a lift, the boat can be lowered to get the drain opening close to the water line. That should make working on the plug easier.

Currious,,, What is in the hole now? If no plug, the boat should be sinking:) What makes it hard is that your body wants to float but the hole is below the water surface. Iy you wear a PFD, inserting the plug will be very tricky. In addition, your body tends to push away from the transom as you...

What size are the existing tabs? If you were satisfied with their performance, I guess that size is appropriate, What size does Bennet recommend? The 24 by 12 sounds big to me for a 23 foot hull but on the other hand, many feel that bigger is better.

As I mentioned, that was the asking price, not the actual sale price.
