    25' Trophy pro - help replace livewell drain?

    The livewell is the hatch in the picture in the center on the floor between the two seats. I think its a bit different layout than the sailfish of the same generation. You are right about a bulkhead in the vberth, without cutting that out I cannot get to anything except the foward bilge and...

    25' Trophy pro - help replace livewell drain?

    Thanks, I can get to the fish box fitting from another hatch that was put in just in front of it. I would like to replace everything this winter. I dont see any way my arm can get around below the livewell from reaching through the tackle box hole. Maybe I need to find a friend with LONG arms.

    25' Trophy pro - help replace livewell drain?

    1991 Grady Trophy pro The drain for the livewell in the floor between the seats has a broken fitting below it and the hose is busted off apparently. I found this after I started taking water on from the thru hull on the starboard side of the boat. Apparently the plumbing goes from the livewell...

    Auto Pilot Question

    It works great, not sure why it would say that, the point one is packaged with the Lowrance autopilot package??? It is the cheapest autopilot package out there, it works great, holds the boat steady even slow trolling. I can put my cursor on a spot on my HDS unit and hit goto and the autopilot...

    Auto Pilot Question

    im very happy with my lowrance autopilot on my 25 with twin outboards. I also use the point 1 antenna that came with it, it now updates my GPS at 10hz and is a big help for knowing where I am over a wreck.

    Green stick on a Grady

    I will try to take one tonight for you. Meanwhile I found this now. This is with my standard center rigger in place, it uses a tractor pin on hold it in the aluminum holder. I have no problem riding through rough seas with the standard center rigger up there, but I am not risking it with that...

    Green stick on a Grady

    My version, its all custom that I put together. It tows a specially rigged 80w with 4 droppers and a mini bird at the end. The tip sits 34ft from the water line and uses a tagline with release clip similar to an outrigger. I dont attempt to stack fish like a commercial setup instead I'm happy...

    Lowrance Autopilot GPS Sensor Mounting

    I mounted mine right to my hard top above where I stand at the helm (25' Grady trophy pro) Works fine. I put the red autopilot switch on the dash below the steering wheel, I use it all the time. One of the best upgrades I have done.

    Transom Rod Holder

    I had this built for the back of my 25 Trophy Pro, it works well and I can still access the stern fish boxes. Cost me a couple hundred bucks from my welder.

    1990 25' Trophy pro livewell

    Thanks for the tips. I think I can live with it. What I would like to replace is the rubber gasket around the livewell. Anyone have any source on good 1 adhesive side waterproof rubber? I think I can just use 4 strips to go around the bottom of the square lid. (mine is peeling up around it now)

    1990 25' Trophy pro livewell

    I have questions about the livewell on my 90' Trophy pro. It is in between the two helm seats in the floor. First there is no stand tube for it, any idea what diameter/size tube I need to buy off ebay? Second, I used it without the tube a few times last season. I noticed water would splash...

    Locking hinge for older sailfish/trophy pro

    All the difference having the right search term! "Hasp." Thanks, I found a ton of them from that, ebay, amazon etc. While I could clean that one up, the swivel part has seized in a few of them and broke off on two others. Good call on the right metal too, some are 5 bucks and they look...
