Adapter plates for your shaped transom (swim platforms) … have a look at this: https://power-pole.com/adapterwizard/mounting-options I don’t see the Freedom 235/255 on this list, … a call to JL Marine might provide a specific adapter plate fitment confirmation.

In Wilmington, NC there are many Freedom 235s in our waters with just the PowerPole and a bracket. I’ve never seen one with a jack plate.

My sending unit failed with the fuel gauge showing full. I was told by the dealer that this is “not uncommon”. I contacted …https://kus-usa.com/ and they were able to map the GW part number to their standard Part Number … SSS/SSL Sender - SAE 5 Hole Pattern Mount - 10".

Thank you for the quick response and suggestion of using silicon on the tip!

Collective brain trust what is this exposed wire connected to the engine bracket? The end of this bare wire is sharp and today pierced my PowerPole hydraulic line and caused some sandbar troubles. More importantly, can I take a file to the sharp edges of the wire-holder bracket and the tip of...

Some good advice provided wish I’d known about the “clock” position alignment recommended by @Hookup1 … would have saved me much head scratching, on my recent Sender replacement. I had kus-usa.com lookup the part # used for my GW Model … “SSS/SSL Sender - SAE 5 Hole Pattern Mount - 10", $59...

In my 2014 251 Coastal Explorer I had to remove the starboard and port cup holders to get enough reach to the NAV electrical connections. I found the OEM NAV lights were: Atwood Marine 2 NM Led Stainless Steel P# 3550 DC-1 The Atwood part had the same electrical termination as the OEM...

Download the CaptainGrady app. It allows you to input your vin/model so the content is specific to the 251 CE. In edition to ease of navigating the User Manual, the App includes videos and extended details on all the boat’s primary systems (trim tabs, engine tilt/trim, lighting, live wells...

I am happy with the swivel and quick disconnect. For me the priorities were, (1) not to clutter the gunnels with a TM when the boat is in its sandbar queen profile, (2) a durable install that won’t hurt the boat while fishing (3) easy on and off of TM so the wife is happy.

This is the swivel and disconnect I used: Magnum Metalz was able to do black anodized as a custom option. I also had Magnum Metalz make a custom deck mount plate to match up the Grady White bolt pattern (which was predrilled for the Trolling Motor option that came w/my boat). The only other...

I was told by GW if the boat is over 5-years old (my boat is a 2014), they do not stock the vinyl parts. They did give me the vinyl manufacturer which was making the material at the time. I contacted Omnova and evaluated the vinyl colors/patterns online. They sent my 4 samples...

Glad you figured it out. Don’t kick yourself too hard, most of us have many stories that could beat this one.

Not entirely sure if this will work for you, given the location. But in an old rowboat I cut an access hole to fix a leaking spot at the bow eye. After the repair I found a Tempress access hatch that closely matched the hull color and fashioned a little storage that I didn’t have before. I...

Have you tried pushing some weed whacker line done the telltale/pee line? Perhaps spiders or mud daubers have set up a home in the line and you’ve got a blockage? I had a similar at sea overheat (not a Suzuki) and it turned out to be mud daubers. I cleared the line and was good to go...
