Scott, What's your number and best time to call?

update #2: Per the previous post, I removed the nut, which had been scratched-gouged on the sides, by a previous owner or dealer), and installed the nylon spacer. Everything works as it should, and you can't see those scratches unless you look closely at the edges of the nut. But it kept...

Sean, Did you download the suite of updates to a blank SD card, and try to do updates that way? It took me 2 tries, but with a new blank card, it worked. When I installed the card, a pop up window appeared, and offered to do the update. Clicked yes, or OK, or whatever it was, and in just about a...

It's going tp look great, with or w/o the logo. I guess it's just one of my pet peeves, like car dealership permanently affixing their name on the back of my car or truck.

That's going to look great. IMO, it would look even better if they made the port side of the swim platform a mirror image of the starboard side. I know the old saying is it pays to advertise, but when you are having something custom-made, leave the /logo/ad off.

mj, It seems as though you replied, and I don't know if you tried posting any photos, but none are displaying here. Also want to ask what electronics have you decided to use?

Scott, Thanks for the question. Supposedly it is. Marinco makes a bunch of them. This is the one I ordered Marinco 150BBIW and I can't really see that it's any different from the one with the -RV suffix. I am powering it from a GFI protected receptacle in the gazebo, and only powering the 2 bank...

SB I do have a hardtop, but seems like Grady got away from installing overhead boxes, at least on most of the Freedom models. I just took a couple photos I'll post; not sure if you'll be able to see that there isn't much room to hang an overhead MFD. I think it might be a head-banger, and...

Thanks for the reply, gents, this is the kind of intel I am looking for. WS, I don't have two 5212's installed on the boat... wish I had the room, but a 255 Freedom has a small helm. The 2nd 5212 and GSD24 are just spares, not installed. SB, that GT51M-TH is a tall transducer. Are you...

I posted this on another forum, and have got a lot of views, but not ever one reply. Probably should have come here first. So... as many of you know, I recently sold my Grady282, and bought a Freedom 255. The Garmin 5212 that looks and works as it should. I replaced the GSD22 with a pre-owned...

I just ran across this F.S. post this morning, and I'm posting it here in case anyone here is still looking for windshield support bars. I'm not affiliated with the seller or product. Just thought they looked to be of good quality...

What was the outcome of the vessel taking on water? As far as what can we do? Well just being there to relay info to CG, if needed, could go be helpful, if persons on the vessel in distress are busy trying to save her. If it got to the point of them abandoning the vessel, then of course we would...

Awesome boat. You will love it.

OK, not great pics; I took them while cleaning up the boat after coming back in this afternoon.

Congratulations Doc. I'm so glad to know the operation was successful, and without problems. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I had a Fisher canvas cover many years ago, before I built a boat barn. He has all the patterns for most Grady's, so probably can make one for you without doing much measuring, other than for after-market add-ons like radar dome, spotlight, etc. I think he also makes them with a light weight...

Agree with what SkunkBoat said; on my 2012 Freedom (255), there are two switches on the dome under the hardtop. One is for the dome light and the other for the spreader lights.

Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. I just bought the 255 this year, and have spend the last few months "making it mine"; e.g. repairs, adjustments, bottom blasting, barrier coat & bottom paint, and dozens of other projects that needed doing. So with that said, It is quite a big...

mj, If you post a photo or 2 of the helm electronics layout as it is now, and what you are thinking of installing, I think you might get some more specific suggestions.

I just did this job on my 255 Freedom last month. I bought a 2 bank battery charger, galvanic isolator, and a power inlet. Came out decent. I can take a few photos and post them if you're interested.
