    Kicker questions for 2005 Escape 209

    We have decided to put a kicker on our 2005 Escape 209. Either a Suzuki or Yamaha high thrust 9.9. We want a fixed bracket without question for offshore beating. We have looked at the Salt Boss and the Adventure Marine. If anyone has a kicker on their Grady … I have a few questions. Do these...

    First trip offshore of the year ...05/11/14

    Ran 45 miles out for a troll at 5am. Lost more than we landed but we'll take it. Came back around 12:00. Back in plenty of time for Mothers Day activities. Boat handled like a battleship. Tight and only got pounded a couple of times.

    Escape 209 flip up storage lid at base of console ...

    2005 Escape 209. I'll assume this area is for storage unless I'm missing something. And ... mine has male snap ends on the underside of the lid. Shouldn't there be something else here to work with the female catch that mates with it on the console? So that it will snap shut and not rattle...

    T Nut for hinges on Escape 209

    I'm replacing the hinges on the boat and having a fit finding the T nut fasteners. They are tiny and work with the 6-32 1/2 inch flathead screws. I can't find them anywhere online or otherwise. The one place I haven't tried is the Grady dealer. Might they have such an item? Anyone know where I...

    Nasty Funk in Cockpit Shower Tank

    So ... I replaced the freshwater pump and was trying out the cockpit shower. I ran the hose for a minute or so to put some water into what I thought was an empty tank. When running the shower/pump, the water filter got clogged after about a minute and the shower sputtered to a drizzle. I...
