    Lost Steering

    Get the fill hose kit or make your own. Use the 2 person method in the bleeding instructions on the Seastar site. Doing it by yourself takes a lot longer because you can't pin the motor to one side. You can also make a one person bleeding system, were both nipples on the ram go to a tee that...

    Trolling Motor on GW 235?

    My buddies last Charter rig was a 26 Hybrid Yellowfin with a Rhodan and all Garmin. I personally wouldn't want the Garmin troll motor yet - Look around at the guys using there boat to put food on the table. It's always a Rhodan/Minn Kota.

    OX66 225 over heats

    I flushed mine with a mild acidic solution followed by a base. The motor pissed calcium. Lol

    OX66 225 over heats

    How was the scale in the motor when you removed the thermostats? I had to descale a 115 Yamaha and the 225 on my Grady. The passages needed to be cleaned up.

    Trolling Motor on GW 235?

    Take a look at the Rhodan's as well. I have a few charter captains I know that love them on the large rigs the run.

    05 Marlin with steering issue

    To many variables with limited info. Pull the bleeding instructions off their site and work through it. If you can grab another set of hands it works much better.

    New Grady quality

    I would put that Contender above the Grady on quality but that's just me. They do a great job with their customers during the build process as well. My nephew does warranty work for Grady. He hasn't noticed any increase in claims or new issues. I think the issues will pop up in a couple...

    Garmin Echomap 70s won’t stay on…

    I just reinstalled a 74dv last week and forgot about another issue. They used a real cheapo inline fuse holder on my model. When it was on the Grady I had to fix the holder as it was losing power randomly while under way. Just another thing to try incase its not software related.

    Garmin Echomap 70s won’t stay on…

    [ Yep, you can try a good battery and run it to that. I had a battery going south with that unit and it would turn on and off. It's possible that the connector in the rear came a bit loose when you stuck the card in for the update. There is a plastic piece that locks the connection in...

    Garmin Echomap 70s won’t stay on…

    That unit has a POS connector in the back. I have hit waves and the unit shut off. Make sure the power connector is clean and seated and that wire has clean power/good ground.

    228 SeaDek

    Looks good -- keep a towel handy for boarding the boat from the stern when on the trailer.
