Definitely check this and the thermos. if your motors have a nice strong stream coming out the pisser, it's almost definitely one of these two. You can test your thermo's by putting them in boiling water on your stove and they should pop open as the water comes up to temp. sometimes they...

All, It's been awhile since I've been on the site, last October I finally, after 4 years or work on the Grady, put her in the water. Of course since the boat had sat on land for a total of 7 years there were all kinds of motor issues VST, low pressure pumps, power pack, plugs, water pumps...

All my Grady White marlin 28 with twin ox66 250's is having an issue. When on plane at 5100-5300 RPMs my starboard engine will temp out and the alarms come on. The possess have a steady stream however I noticed at the doc that there is water coming out up underneath the motor. See the following...

Guys, when you say the low pressure fuel pumps, are these the primer motors mounted in the bildge area after the diverter? or is there another pump somewhere that I should be checking? Thanks, Joe

Thanks guys for the posts, I'm working on getting the same font as the grady and I'm going to scrape the Grady logo off of my boat and put "State of Grace" in the same font, color, and location as the original Grady logo. I may not get the original font from Grady as it could have been a custom...

I only soldered it in because my socket was all mangled and I didn't feel like ordering. A new socket. disclaimer: this was on my 03 Chapparral boat, what I was pleased about was the brightness for a navigation light. I just took my bulb and matched it with a led equiv at west marine. I'll be...

Hello all, I'm looking to put my boat's name on the side of my boat. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place where I could go to get labels/decals made that I could adhere to the side of the boat? I know generally what I'm looking for and I have a design laid out in photoshop (computer art...

Hello all, I'm in the process of refiberglassing my fuel hatches on my Grady 28 and I decided to build up the underside of the main fuel hatch with some extra plywood to accomodate for a solid mount for a fight chair... Looking around, all of thte fight chairs that I've scene have been about...

I went to West Marine today and purchased LED replacement bulbs for my Nav and anchor lighs and I'm very pleased... I had a pesky socket in my Nav light, hwere when I'd hit a few rough waves it would get loose and go out... Since I went LED I was able to just solder it in there :) Joe

Thanks Everyone! Thanks Captain Bill! I went with two gallons of hard for first two barrier coats then two coats of the Micron Interlux 66 for the exterior. Should last a few seasons!

I took a look at Pettit's website and WOW I'm confused... http://www.pettitpaint.com/ I'm looking to put on the appropriate bottom protection for my grady white (28' Marlin) and I'm alittle confused as to what I should do. I hear about barrier paint and then coats of additional paint etc...

Hello all... Over the next few weeks I'm going to be building a custom dashboard on my 99 Grady Sailfish 28. As a part of this project I'm literally going to grind off the radio box of my helm, build and fiberglass in a new box/dash to support a pair of Garmin 7012's. Along with this...

Is this the 1990 Marlin with the Pair of 2002 OX66's from Onset Bay Marina? I purchased that boat for 14k in December! Awesome boat! The engines are in great shape and the interior and combing pads (bolsters) are being replaced by a local mom and pop canvas shop! I'll post pictures...

Thanks Capt Bill, Unfortunately this was a bank repossession so I donot have contact with the original owner... I'll give Grady a call and also see what I can find around. I know there are also people that custom make these as well so that may be a route. I was hoping that maybe there was a...

Hello everyone, Great news! I got my first Grady! A 1990 Grady White Marlin 280 with a pair of 2002 Yamaha V250 Saltwater Series motors! I plan on posting a post with details on the acquisition, however for now I wanted to ask a quick question. What do you call the plastic weather guard...
