A well intentioned friend dropped my overflow tube in the gulf. Anybody know where I can find a replacement? I have ordered two and they are either too small or too short. Cannot find a threaded one either.

I'm trying to find where I can buy a Attwood 3 NM LED mast head light with the 24 inch pole. The Attwood manufacturer's number is 7824s1 and I get nothing when I Goggle it, E-bay doesn't have it and Amazon only carries the 12 inch model. I need 24 inches to clear the radar antenna. Anybody...

The latch on my fish box came apart and I cannot find a replacement. It is circular (two parts) with a pivoting arm that holds the box cover down. The bolt that holds the arm went missing and I cannot find a bolt/nut combination to fit it or a replacement unit. Have tried West Marine and a...

If I disconnect the three pairs of leads to the batteries and connect the charger to 110 Volts, shouldn't I get 12 votes between each pair? I get nothing on any of the lead pairs.

I’m having to replace my Pro-Blaster wash down pump and need some advice. Checking both West Marine and Go2Marine, the 12 V.-4 GPM model is not in stock and neither can tell me when they can ship. West Marine has a 12V.-5 GPM model but it draws 16 amps. as opposed to 10 amps for the 4 GPM...

I haven't seen any new postings on this forum since Monday or Tuesday. Plenty of new postings on "General Discussion". Is something wrong with the forum or do I have some settings wrong?

When starting my engines this weekend, I got a message on the Garmin 4210's that asked me if I wanted to enter "full throtle mode" or something like that. I answered "no" the first few times I got the message and watched the gages to make sure everything appeared okay. I finally answered "yes"...

My boat is in its fourth season and I have had more problems with the Jabsco electric head than all the other systems combined. The original electric pump began leaking early in the second season so I purchased a "re-building kit" and attempted to replace all the gaskets. The gaskets that...

For the past two or three weeks, my Garmin 4210's have been flashing a warning that the sonar signal was lost and would not show the depth of water until I pressed the "OK" button next to the warning. I have checked/refilled the cup that the transducer sits in but still get the warning. I...

I have twin 250 Yamaha's on a 283 Release purchased in 2009 and put into service February of 2010. Both motors have been working perfectly for the past two years but this past weekend the port motor lost power and died in the middle of Bay St. Louis. We tried to restart it but although it...

I am trying to find a source for those rubber stoppers for all the fish and ice boxes on my Grady. I searched West Marine and go2marine web sites and got nothing. A google search came up with one available for $5.95 plus shipping. As often as I loose them I wanted to get a couple dozen.

My head pump has started leaking and sewerage water accumulates on the floor in the console of my 283. Their website does not show much in the way of rebuilding kits and all three telephone numbers I have been able to get on the internet have been disconnected. My original documentation shows...

Two of the black plastic ends on the cylinders that hold the hatches up have self destructed and I'm looking to replace them. I emailed Grady and they returned my email almost instantly and said to contact my dealer and get pricing on new SS ends, their part number 30-185. I emailed my closest...

This is probably not a unique problem to the 283 so maybe some of you can offer some suggestions. The float switch for the rear bilge pump failed last year and try as I could, I could not replace it by putting my arm through either of the two, six inch access holes in the splash well. I...

Is there a wrench or other tool that fits the star shaped hole in the top of a S/L windless? Is this to tighten it so it no longer slips?

I remember a topic a while back about how to clean the black spots off vinyl and caulking. I cannot figure out how to search on this iPad so I would appreciate a quick summery of what they are and how to clean/prevent them. Thanks

I found some oil in the motor well of my 283 Release. Less than a cup, but it leaked from the hole in the motor cover where the electrical cables and fuel hose enter the engine. This happened when I fully raised the engine and left it this way for a day. I first noticed the condition...

A lot of you are familiar with the problem I have been having with the float switch on my 283. I locked up in the on position and back fed power to the switch panel. This by-passes the battery switches and eventually ran down the house battery bank. I have determined that the blue-box like...

The following is a report from Venice, LA. It has been reported by some of the people at the Marina that it is a twin engine, Grady White. They are saying that one engine was ripped from the boat and that they probably hit the jetty that is submerged at high tide. VENICE, La. (Associated...

At your collective recommendation, I bought some Collinite #920 cleaner, Collinite #885 fleet wax and some Woodies Wax for the non-skid areas of my boat. I have applied one coat of the cleaner and fleet wax to the exterior hull and have some questions. Can I use the Collinite 920 and 885 on my...
