    Want to Buy: Grady White '87 Offshore Pro 24 Manual

    https://www.gradywhite.com/brochure/archived-brochures/ Should have the info you’re looking for. Edit…. I thought this was where I got the wiring diagram for my 1989 25’ Sailfish, but I see that’s not accurate. I must have called customer service, and they were able to provide the diagrams for...

    Any idea how to correct this?

    84’ Tournament.. replacing tank but have questions

    I’m no expert, but since no one else is replying, I would probably drill a few holes back where the fiberglass isn’t cracked. You might find the wood is wet pretty far back. Since it’s already accessible, you could expose the wet wood, remove and replace, and re-Fibefglass. But if, like...

    New boat tool set

    Installing a windlass

    New Boater/ Fuel Gauge broken... How many hours/miles can you get on a full tank of gas?

    Rule of thumb- divide the hp by 10, that’s about what you will burn gallons per hour at wide open. Since you probably won’t be running wide open all day, that should keep you from running out of fuel at least.

    Okay, need a shakedown list

    I don’t know how old your boat is, but if you have 2 strokes bring extra oil, and try to check oil consumption vs gas consumption after your trip. Hopefully you have checked or replaced your thru hulls, if you can see any that are below the waterline from inside the boat, take a look to see if...
