    Grady Stripe for Sailfish

    Folks, I had a bad case of dock rash last weekend and have to do a gelcoat repair and also repair a section of the blue stripe on the side.

Not sure if I would call it a tower, but the existing factory aluminum pipe keeps getting cracked and I have had several weld jobs done and re-inforcements/gussets installed as well as additional stress pipes installed over last few years.

    Circuit Breaker Replacements?

    Hi folks, was just replacing some of the Euro design Green LED switches I finally found a source for, and in doing so, and guess it is cold enough pulling on the wires, a couple of my ETA 1658 breakers broke off at the threads. Any idea of good source for these? I did find them online, but...

    Hey folks, we have been talking about our pulpits and anchor retrieval issues over time in many posts. I think I am ready to make an upgrade to my fitup. As we know/have learned, the original pulpit anchor roller is very narrow and was suited perfectly for the Danforth type anchors. However...

    252G with Full Swim Platform

    Guys, curios if your full swim platform is fully caulked all around, including across the top of the bracked in the motor well? When I got mine, it was sealed and I have continued to reseal when working on the platform, etc. However, I wonder if it should not be caulked and allow the water to...

    Lost Trim Plane this week

    Anyone ever lost their trim plane before? Seems one of mine has come free and sheared the pin from the hydraulic ram. I called Bennett and they gave me the part number to replace the same one that was made apparently for Grady which has the upfins. They are 18X9 size. Bennett will not help...

    RAMP DISASTERS

    I don't get it on how these cases happen on most of these ramps. When I lived in Florida, the ramps were very slick and I do recall some cars/trucks being pulled out of the water. However, some of these are heavy duty trucks and they are going in deep and the ramps don't look to be that steep...

    Telescoping boarding ladders on new Grady's

    Anyone know the source/manuf. of the new telescoping boarding ladders? What I like about them is the dual rung steps that allows more support for your feet. I can't find these online anywhere so far, so not sure they are Grady exclusive or not....

    Bow Light mounted under pulpit?

    Hi folks, thinking about mounting a spreader type light under the pulpit for purposes mostly to show the anchor rope and anchor when retrieving in the dark. This light would cause no glare from the helm, but aid someone up front to see what is going on, etc. Might be able to see the rope from...

    Props for Z200's

    I know a lot of discussions on props, but want some real world experience here on a couple of thoughts I have. Thinking that I might benefit by moving to 19 pitch from my current 17 pitch. How much, that is the question and hope to find someone with same hull design that has the 19's to see...
