    Grady White Marlin Dash Panel needed

    I have a 06 282 that has the same dash format. When I upgraded after purchasing the boat I made a new layer out of 1/2” king board and mounted it to the dash Panel.

    Autopilot Installation: Success and Failure...

    Just finished my install in my 282 and the only fitting I had to add was a 90° fitting for the compensate line. I have the old style helm also. I ran it in the bottom port and the 90 Faces to the right gave plenty of room behind to run lines under the dash. I did have to pull the wheel and helm...

    Grady getting slapped around on THT

    I have found with most THT guys who are brand haters have never owned the brand they bash. Every boat has flaws, but I would say from the pictures it looks like a post factory doing. I was at a dealer in Florida who had the same issue caused by a mistake of the technician putting the boat on...

    Prepping for Next Leg of Great Loop - Makeshift AC - Pictures!

    Mine is a 8000btu it tripped the gfi in the bathroom once but I had 2 other fans plugged in trying to see what all I could run. The fan on ours runs all the time it tripped when the condenser kicked on, other wise it ran 36 hours strait in 2 different trips and worked perfect.
