    How many here are on Facebook?

    I do Facebook. Folks I went to school some 30 years ago still keep in touch. What an opportunity to network and stay in touch after all these years. And they are spread out all over the world.

    Thrull Hull Transducers

    I replaced mine when it failed. Take your time and prep the area inside and out carefully. The old transducer was sealed with 5200. Not necessary. A good below the water line sealant is better. The 5200 was so hard I had to grind the old transducer down to get it to release.

    Yamaha 250 OX66 thermostat

    Maybe some of that time was them running and making sure they open and there is no clogs. If they just installed the t/stats and let you go. Next time you ran the engine and there was a problem you would be back and that's when customer relation problems ensue. Just a thought. Merry Christmas

    Grady White position on ethanol

    Gman25 is correct Grady wont have a position on the fuel because they do not manufacture the engines. The recommendations and procedures will come from the perspective engine manufactures. And we are paying more for 10% less gas and causing the farming and food industry to be unstable.

    It's probable the fuel sender unit in the tank. Its may have fallen victim to the ethanol in the fuel.

    anchor needs nudge

    Mine did the same thing. I had an aluminum anchor and it never would drop or set. I changed it to a 18lb steel and it drops and sets fine now. One thing to remember is aft angle. Less fuel in the main tank and a full aux tank with a full water tank. It could make it slow to release.
