I don't remeber the exact dimensions of roll. I bought from a local guy on cape cod that does sails, cushions, etc.. I kept the original foam batting and just replaced the wood. By keeping the same batting and the same wood dimension it came out exactly as the original. I do not have rounded...

The number is on the upper starboard side on the transom. I also have on attathed to the inside transom on the portside that is carved in oak. I do not remeber having to provide a picture or etching when I registered my Grady. I registered it in Fall River. Good Luck.

My auxilary tank has water in the gas. I have about 50 gallons in the tanks (new Gas). My question, Has anyone just added large quantities of dri gas and if so has it been successful? The service manager at the marina wants to pump it all out of the aux tank. Please let me know if anyone has...

Very good point about getting in writing ( it was a verbal quote). Like I said I am just playing with the idea. My engines have been running fine. I might get more serious about after my kids finish college.

So far I have pricing of $13K ea completly set up. I know it is a lot of money for an older boat but I really love the hull and can't imagine getting rid of it.

I have a 1991 Dolphin. I currently have twin Yamaha 200HP. I have playing with the idea of repowering with Evinrude etecs 200hp. Pricing does not look that bad.

Just winterized the boat and I have 2 issues I need to deal with before spring. 1. Starbord engine.I just drained the lower gear oil and it came out a milky grey color. Water is leaking into the lower unit. I am assuming it is seals that need replacing. Has anyone tried to do this job...

sorry misspelled coaming pads If you Googled coaming pads you will find what you are looking for. I had a local shop quote me $575.00 for 3 that I needed replaced. Mine had to be done from scratch because the wood to completley rotted. I ended up doing it myself. I followed the directions from...

Boaters world Look under comming pads.

coming pads I just finished my coming pads last week. I had to replace all the wood it was all rotted. I used 1/2' presure treated wood and used satinless steel staples. The electric stapler is a must. I did not put the backingon the wood for 2 reasons.1. I beleive the original wood fell apart...

Yamaha According to the owners manual for these engines the buzzer or alarm will go off when you turn the key to the on position. It will last for 5 seconds and then stop. It was the same alarm that went off when we came down hard from the wave. I did not see any flashing from the the consol...
