    Grady 275 with Yamaha 425 - anyone do it?

    I'd be curious too as I have the single F350. How about upgrading the F350 to 425 with the Nizpro tune? If I didn't have a warranty...

    Anyone tried this? "Engine Flush System w/hose Attachment"

    I had this quick connect installed when I repowered this year. Its a little more convenient but I noticed water doesn't come out the telltale hole when I use it, I hope there is enough pressure?

    Grady's with older F350s? Anyone repower yet?

    I just sold my 2007 1st generation F350 with 1100 hours and am putting a brand new F350C on my 275 this week. I should have some good comparison data on speed and fuel economy to share. Long story on how I got the motor but it was a leftover manufactured in 2017 that was still in its crate and...

    Freedom 275 offshore?

    I have a 275 with a single F350 and would say the narrow beam is a plus for its length in rougher conditions. The hull has a deep and relatively sharp forefoot that helps reduce pounding and the moderate deadrise allows a lower planing speed. You may not be going as fast as a 24 degree deadrise...

    275 Tournament falls off plane below 4,000 RPM?

    I see about the same cruise/gph. I had a prop shop add some cup which gave me a little better performance at cruise. Overall I've been happy with it, I just updated all the electronics this summer, 60+ hours so far this season.

    275 Tournament falls off plane below 4,000 RPM?

    Sorry for the delay, worked out fine with the reconditioned OEM prop but top speed with bottom paint and half load is only 41 mph. With a F350C I would think a few more mph than the F350A I'm running.

    Low Voltage Warnings

    Well I took it to my marina and they could see the low voltage code which they cleared but couldn't replicate the issue. I ran it today for over an hour (split between batt 1&2) and had 14 volts the whole time. Back to square 1. I am going to keep my meter with me and, if it happens again...

    Low Voltage Warnings

    Looking at wiring chart in manual, I can't see any ground other than the green fuel ground, does that mean the ground is on the engine?

    Low Voltage Warnings

    I think you are right, the motor restarts because the battery still has enough charge, if I were to press on withe the low voltage warnings I believe the battery would simply run down. Haven't seen this ground stud yet, it must be a bit hidden, will follow neg cables.

    Low Voltage Warnings

    I can shut motor off and restart no issues, cranks fine but it's immediately flashing low voltage.

    Low Voltage Warnings

    Looking for some help with a charging issue. 2009 Tournament 275 with single F350 and two battery switch set up. Both batteries have been load tested and check out. I only use 1 battery at a time (ie go out on battery 1, come back on battery 2, etc). At idle speed no issues at all, seeing 14.1...

    275 Tournament falls off plane below 4,000 RPM?

    So my Powertech LFS4 came before I could move the engine up and I tried it out. Incredible difference, now stays on plane down to 3300 rpm with no tab whatsoever and better MPG up to ~4400 rpm. Above that, the extra blade takes a toll, went from 44.5 with the Eco to 40 with the LFS4. As I care...

    275 Tournament falls off plane below 4,000 RPM?

    Not sure if 5bars is a lot or not, could mean my engine can be mounted higher but I think its hard to compare bars across models and engine types.

    275 Tournament falls off plane below 4,000 RPM?

    The bilge is dry as a bone, and the livewell and fish box are empty so not a lot of extra weight in the back. I will be moving the engine up a hole this week.
