Last Chance I Googled and got (250) 616-7130 If this is correct, do you have a contact name? Ty JT

Thanks to all of you, nice to see other ideas ! Some guys are very clever and want to take the time to get it right ! Any more, keep them coming ! :wow JT

Jim T Have you shared the "Thruster Hole" picture with Grady? If so what did they think about the "meat" left on the bottom of the hole? Maybe you inspected and thought it was OK ? I'm thinking log? As far as opinions of others, thank you but RTFQ. TY for the pictures, very helpful. Jim

Do you have pictures of canvas upgrades you've done to your Grady? Post them here. Thanks

I would like to see pictures of Grady White's cut open when you or someone has installed a Bow Thruster. I have a 2004 232 and wonder what I will find when I cut into the front V-berth and look down? Foam, open ???? I know about Florida Thruster's, would like some owner info. Thank you in advance.

I understand "it's hard to understand" ! Not to beat a dead horse, have you contacted the manufacture "read engineer" of the swivel to get his/her ideas ? So, my last post. Have fun and stay safe ! JT

This was suppose to be first, then pictures ! Physics ! When you add the shackle you are telling the "designed swivel" the anchor is backwards or 90 degrees. Also, the way you put your line and/or rode into the locker has an effect on how much twist you have. The way you pull up your anchor...

Another stern tie. JT

The swivel is not designed to be used as shown, it should be attached directly to the anchor. If it does not fit around the anchor, get a bigger one. Mine is over-sized and I put washers in between to keep the slop out. Mine also hangs up on the out play, after releasing the safety chain, I...

Just unscrewed my Drive plug to check for water (every year, as I did have water once), the backing nut on the inside of the tank is now loose ! I needed that ! I called factory and they said "never heard of anyone recovering nut, you will have to tap and die it." The tank is aluminum, made...
