Got hinges on Amazon. Company was ESSENTRA Components. They are Southco SC-465. I installed a set on the electronics box. Still have to do the consul box. How do you get behind the consul box to attach the nut?

I got replacement caps through my Grady Dealer, Central Valley Marine. These are the same ones Grady White is now using. They are plastic. I had a shop Central Valley Marine recommended do the replacement. Cost was around $175.00 for labor. Everything is sealed, no water intrusion and looks...

I have a Yamaha 200HPDI. I was told not to use muffs by Dealer shop. I use a small cattle tank and get a good stream right away.

See your posts on Coastside. I'm Sidewinder. Well that does it then. Was going to try to widen the hole wires come through today. Now I will do as you did. Keep the handheld and send the new horn back to amazon.com. Maybe my horn lasted sixteen years because I keep the boat on a trailer.

Were you able to pull out the old butt connectors to the horn when you pulled the wire out before you replaced with the new horn? I have not been able to get the wire out of the hole.

Started to replace horn Thursday. Outside wire could not be pulled out to make it easier to connect wire from horn. Pulled cover in cabin from back of windshield wiper motor to get to the wiring from horn. No way to get to it from here. Was thinking of using a hole saw to cut in from the back...

Mine was toast. Part of it fell off when I was washing the boat, WD would be no help, but thanks for the tip.

Am in process of replacing the horn on my 226. Guess I am lucky as mine lasted sixteen years. Will be doing it in next couple of days. Hope I can make connections form outside and push through hole without making it larger. Will let you know how it goes. Replaced running lights last year and...

That happened to me right after I bought my boat in 2000. I got the motor started but could not go more than 5-7mph. Yamaha tec told me that running out of gas will fry one of the two fuel pumps. Warranty covered mine. He found out about it at a Yamaha school after it happened. Now I switch over...

It's in the high 70's today out here in San Jose CA.

The shop I was referred to unbolted and lifted the OB enough to remove,reseal and replace the trim. He removed, resealed and replaced all four sides. Dropped off in AM and picked up that same afternoon.

I had the same problem three Years ago. Dealer said Grady no longer using aluminum around transom. Now uses plastic. Ordered new parts-4 and had replaced by a shop recommended by dealer. Probal cause was metal screws that attached brackets. There was no damage to the transom. There was no...

Mine was a leak in a seal. Felt like a click click when I turned the wheel.

Put one on several years ago. Does not slip.

I broke mine on my 226. I got the parts from my Grady Dealer. Call and tell them the part you broke. It's an easy fix.
