    Wiper Blades

    Got the blades and they fit perfectly. ANCO N-19R is the size for replacements on the Gulfstream.

    Wiper Blades

    I looked through old posts here and it said to try ANCO N-19R on Amazon, so I ordered a pair and I'll see if they work this weekend.

    Wiper Blades

    Does anyone know where I can get wiper blades for a 2017 Gulfstream? I don't know if I can buy the ones in Costco and just cut them down and if they will slide in. I would rather replace the rubber blade and not the whole holder and blade.

    Sideshift bow thruster to a Grady

    I'm going to skip it. I thought it looked god awful so you are all right. It was my first season with the bigger boat, so I think I will just try and learn how to do a better job as a captain. thanks again for everyone's comments.

    Sideshift bow thruster to a Grady

    Yamaha makes a Helm master joystick for a single-engine, maybe this would be a better option to try. Does anyone have this on a single? Is it expensive to install?

    Sideshift bow thruster to a Grady

    I have a single-engine on my Gulfstream. I get around well most of the time just have some issues when the wind is blowing and the current is moving fast. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get the expensive install. Yes, FYI, I am around POE and know Bill and his staff. I dock my...

    Sideshift bow thruster to a Grady

    Has anyone added one of these to a Grady, preferably a smaller model? I am trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and add a bow thruster, most of the quotes are $8k plus. If I add the thruster I am told by Grady that there is a freshwater tank in the spot that I would have to lose or it...

    Adding a Table to the rear cockpit

    Was looking for a removable teak table for eating and drinking, like Dennis described. But wanted something to mount on the floor that no one would trip on when it's not there. I think when I'm at the NYC Boat show this month I will take some pics of the Boston Whaler table mounts.

    Adding a Table to the rear cockpit

    Has anyone added a teak table to the rear cockpit of their Grady Walk-Around? I'm looking to add a table and post that is removable but doesn't have a raised base on the floor for safety. I think some BW's have this. Thanks
