I agree.. once you get the old one out- may as well put a new one in. I had a new one fabricated and put it in my self. The new tank was around $500 and with supplies probably around $650. There's plenty of posts here on the topic.. and folks that have done it.

SeaFarer Congrats on the new look/design of the site.... it's a pretty slick upgrade.. I plan to donate something for your efforts... I'd be more than willing to donate more in addition for the purchase of a Tshirt with that cool GG logo on it... thanks for what you do..

I'm interested as well.. rekabbnad@gmail.com

Blocked off transom wanderer200. I'm interested in your 'hack job' of the blocked off transom.. I recently repowered a 25" transom with a 30" shaft and the mechanic kept mentioning how folks blocked off the transom with starboard.. I couldn't see the pic you posted.. I'm interested...

Dang!...awesome fish

Thanks.. might have figured it out if I tried harder. I keep meaning to take one of those boater's safety classes offered in my area... I expect such things are covered in the class.. Yeah that was my first rock ever last spring... it was awesome... Sent a report with a pic of the...

New to boating, I understand.. MOB => Man over board but what is: SAR => ? PLB => ? tks

I'll revisit this post with some pics soon, before, during and after. thanks again.

Cool, this is good stuff.. the small repaired section looks to have been glassed over, and yes the floor is textured, not sure if it's diamonds. I have no real access to the below area, next to it is the bulkheads for the gas tank.. and aft of it on the floor (more in the center of the...

My situation: I have an older grady that had a lounge on the port side that had been replaced by a captain chair.. I noticed that there is still screw holes in the deck and there's evidence of some sort of repair under where the seat was, a 6"x 10" section. Currently the port seat...

a tank removal technique. Try this url.. http://www.dan.titustwo.net/07-24-08_tank_removal_tech.3gp this is when I started.. then I had to raise up the ends of the 2x's. I stacked bricks under each end then was able to get it higher. If you have someone helping they might be able to...

The mechanic I use told me that you may need to repeat the process a few times until there's no air left in the system..

I have a 1977 Dolphin with OB motor.. and agree it's been quite a project that's for sure.. if only I knew what I'd be putting into it.. I would have spent the money for a newer/younger project... :)

this recently happened to me.... there's supposed to be a screw on the right-side bracket when looking from behind the boat, look at the bracket from the side... you can loosen the screw and manually raise/trim the motor, and loosen/lock the engine in place via some mechanism.. that I never got...

I also went with Atlantic (speedy tanks) last year to replace a 50 gal tank- I have no complaints either.. Was around $500, whatever company you go with should be able to provide whatever tubes you need, as well as any neoprene, which is extra $$. Got the original drawings for my '77 dolphin...

thanks bob affirmative plymouth, I probably am not supposed to but I did a dry-gear-test (muffs on of course). I was pleased with the results- no failures, good rpms, at least from what I could tell. Like you said, next I'll try to fill a large trash can with water and see what happens.

Okay, I installed a new fuel/water filter and changed the spark plugs. The sparks were in pretty bad shape. After having to recharge the battery the engine fired up well and kept running for sometime. So I think I'm good for a while- need to get it in the water but not sure when I'll get...

I found a post somewhere on this board where it was said to put fuel in the filter and line the rubber gasket with oil before twisting on. If you search you may find it, I think it was from BobP, but not sure. found it. http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtop ... ght=filter

Thanks for the input. Next plan of attack.. replace the filter, plugs, and look at/replace the fuel pumps. I'm guessing this hasn't been done in a while. On one side the plugs are looking kinda crusty. Good thing actually, so then I'll be sure what was done when, all part of getting to...

I did just replace the tank and all hoses. maybe there's something I over looked. never did a thing with the filter, just hooked up the hoses and filled it up. Perhaps air is getting in somehow like you mentioned. Like it would need to be bled out. I'll have to inspect the filter.
