thanks all for the great advice. Clearly, my ding must be very superficial, as no fibers seen. Will try the Spectrum gelcoat repair kit. thanks again for the help BK

OK guys, help me out here. As most of you, I am obsessive and unreasonable about the appearance of my GW. Noted small chip on the edge of the fiberglass, but clearly deeper than just surface. How thick is the gel coat? How might I repair this small chip without making a federal case out of it...

I have a 2006 209 Escape. Has a Grady White stock T Top. Came with some storage area just below T Top, a hanging net type job. Getting a little ratty. Where/how can I replace this? Appreciate advice and counsel B

Parthery and Bill S Wanted to thank you both. Found and cleaned out that orifice, and all is well. What a wonderful resource this forum is, and its active members. Thanks again. B

Folks I've a 209 GW with Yamaha command link controls Today, when I took her out, the speedometer partially quit on me - no speed registered, only the "dashed" line. As I run through the modes of display, the TRIP and ECON also do not read out. Yet the TTL and FLOW seem to work fine. Also, the...

What is the consensual wisdom about the rubber ring that "seals" the fuel cap filler space? Mine just split and I lost it in the water; is this of any added value? where might one find a replacement? Thx in advance.

Thx, all, for the shared wisdom bB

Winter approaching in the Northeast. As I plan for winter storage, am I better off keeping the fuel tank topped up and filled, or best to keep it near empty - given discussions I have seen here about "older" fuel issues, and then again, water in fuel tank. Thx in advance. B

Here is the answer - followed all the great and cogent suggestions of the GW group, and found no fix. Finally, called GARMIN, and got this directive. In my misguided and feeble attempts to fix the problem, I changed the settings on the SONAR system; they recommended going back to having GAIN be...

Re: depth finder intermittent malfunction Folks I apologize in advance for this, but need a little more detail. I can access the back of the garmin 3210 and I can access the garmin 30 unit itself, and have pulled all the connections and they look clean and right. In fact, all this is only two...

Re: depth finder intermittent malfunction I am still working on all your good suggestions, but not fix yet. Yesterday, noticed my speedometer intermittently on the blink. Still searching. Thx B

Re: depth finder intermittent malfunction depth finder update: I have checked connections from garmin devices, and to power sources - proximally, anyway - and all seems well. Have "dived" under boat to find sensor, and feel around it, and though not any real inspection possible as boat is in...

Here goes: Grady White 209 - 2006. Have a GARMIN 3210, with a P319 thru-hull sensor, attached to a Garmin GSD 21 sounder module. Depth reading is intermittent; when I start off in shallow water, reads "0"; used to read correct depth, even were it to be 1.5' As I move out and get up on plane...

thanks for all of the advice Sender replaced, with metallic piece now in place of plastic. Had to look at another set up on a TR 150 to see how the sender should be installed, but just as predicted, the sensor tab was stuck, and with some forced movement, has been freed up. Thanks again for all...
