Hmmmm??

Put an oversized deep socket over the remaining head of the bolt or the remaining nut. The socket just needs to be a little deeper than the projection of the stuck piece. Then cut off the head of a grade 8 bolt 1/16" smaller diameter than the broken bolt. Leave about 1/2 inch of the shank below...

Another style.....https://thmarinesupplies.com/products/seacock-remote-operation-arm

Yes, those are the Seacock actuators. Chinookie, if you are not familiar with the bilge in your boat you need to lift the livewell out so you can get down in there to make everything right before to get a surprise you're not ready for when offshore. Just remove the lid to the livewell, remove...

Remove the garboard drain and do like seasick said , using a thin screwdriver to push in at an angle as far as you can. Drill 1/4 inch holes all around the area covered by the engine brackets and use a thin tool like an icepick at an angle to check for mush. If work is not performed, a little...

I did the same thing as Glacierbaze for some of the same reasons, except I got a Glacier Bay 2240 Renegade. I'm still here. I can't stop clicking on GG.

Whenever you get your camera fixed, show us a picture.:D

We need a new thread for that!

The Great Grady members are part of the hole in the water club whether they like it or not. It's a whirlpool no one can escape from. You are in it for the count. There will be no release from your duties here. The name tag on your particular piece of fiberglass does not give you license to...

I sold the boat and let them go with it.

I agree with that. Anytime you can get good purchase with screws, that's the best to avoid the toggle thing.

Go to this thread and look at post #21. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/how-to-replicating-diamond-non-skid.7681/page-2

When I did my seat bases, I was unable to find the bases that are cut off on one side, so I used the ones that are a full circle. That made one hole able to have a screw directly into the stringer. The only downside of this is that when removing the gas tank cover, the seat base must be removed...

Hey Bert, Just ask your question right here. I will tell you what I know but you will also get help from some very knowledgeable characters on here. But to answer your question about how to do a private message to someone, just click on their handle name and you will get a pop up with obvious...

Thanks seasick, I haven't seen the boat in person. It is a 1992 Grady 246G with a 250 0X66 on it. I kinda wonder if that's enough power but the specs say the hull is only 3500 lbs and the max power was listed at 300hp so maybe it's OK. It's about 90 miles from me so I think I'll run over and...

If I feel the need to do a compression test on an 0X66 I'm going to look at, will it harm the electronics if all the spark plug wires are left unconnected while cranking? If I need to do a compression test without warming the engine and it has been sitting for a while, what might I expect to see...

Do all 0X66s send hours running to the tachometer?

So does the Saltwater II series that has throttle body injection idle and run at a slow troll ok? Does the later HPDI run cheaper or smoke less? The reason I'm asking is I am looking at boats to buy and there are some nice boats for sale at reasonable prices with the two strokes. As soon as it...

I have been doing a little reading and have got questions about that generation of Yamahas. If I understood it all there is an 0X66 that is carbureted, another that is fuel injected at the throttle body and called Saltwater series II, another that is direct injection to the cylinders...

Dennis, It might be worthwhile to put a Seastar bubbler/bleeder in place. It basically just circulates the fluid through the cylinder and back to the helm pump. That would tell you if the hoses are clear or plugged. Also You might tee into the line with a pressure gauge and see if the helm pump...
