    Cost for thorough cleaning and ceramic coating interior/exterior 1988 22' Seafarer Cuddy Cabin

    One more thought....I also use the Shurhold Pad Cleaner powder to clean the pads. It removes all the residue. Mix one cup in a 5 gal. bucket with 1 gal. water. Soak pad for 30 min. Take out and use pressure from water hose to rinse out. Then put on polisher and spin dry. Ready to go again. I am...

    Stripes

    To remove any decal glue, I always use mineral spirits with plastic scraper and cotton towels. Work well. Just keep soaking the glue generously and scrape, reapply MS and scrape and wipe with towel. Follow with acetone for final finish.

    Grady 235: windlass or not?

    Have you tried to retrieve it without one? I did when I got my 252G with pulpit. I found it to be near impossible to try to find an easy way to stand up on the pulpit or in the walkway and try and retrieve it while bouncing around in 2-3' seas. Very quickly, I researched and found out how to...

    Cost for thorough cleaning and ceramic coating interior/exterior 1988 22' Seafarer Cuddy Cabin

    BF22Grady, I have been using many different products and finally determined those that worked best for the boat are from Majestic Solutions which is actually local here in Raleigh, NC, but I still do the mail order most of the time. Step 1: For heavy cut: Vibracut 1000. What I like about this...

    what to replace raw water washdown/livewell pump with?

    Like others have already said, 2 separate pumps. I use the Pro Blaster 5gpm I just replaced last year. Had the 4gpm and really don't get that much more pressure. For the livewell, I installed a Piranha 800 which is just right based on specs for volume of water to the 30gal. livewell. However, it...

    Custom rocket launchers for the hardtop?

    I need to have mine lowered as I can't reach any of them to use it. I have a guy down at the coast that will do it. I just need to take to him off season so he can custom make it. The 252G Sportbridge is very tall, so makes the rocket launchers extremely difficult to use. I have seen other...

    Rinsing Salt Water Out on land -

    I installed a 3 way with valve after the seacock and prior to going to the pumps. With a hose connected to this, I just stick it in a gallon jug and suck in the fresh water or in winter time, antifreeze to protect everything. It works like a charm.

    Marlin with Minn Kota Raptors?

    How long does it last for the battery life on a day? Assuming an average 2-3' day with moderate current?

    VHF Replacement

    I have 2 ICOM's currently and have since I got the grady which it had one already. They have been stellar and test excellent each season when I run the test. Can't say same for antenna's, but radios have been great . I now SH makes some good radios, but in my former boat which was more exposed...

    Local Grady White Dealer will not work on my Outboard

    I read some of those posts on the negativity and they were mostly about stuff such as switches and fuses. Not much about injectors, but your right, like anything aftermarket or from ebay, luck is needed. Just wondering if anyone has tried them on their outboards. I think it would be worth...

    Why does my outboard eat coils?

    Now that I think more on this, when I pulled the stator off the motor, looking down I could see the damage to the black wire. I did have my engine in the shop first time or two and the mechanic never did find this and I saw that it would not be easy to diagnose or see unless he did a resistance...

    Trolling Motor on a 300 Marlin

    Very nice install! So basically, the mount is a flat piece of aluminum to fit, through bolted. Then you can just extend out past the rail and then drop down into the water. No need to modify the rail right?

    Cost for thorough cleaning and ceramic coating interior/exterior 1988 22' Seafarer Cuddy Cabin

    After all the hard work for over a 2 year period when off season, I got my 92's finish looking really nice. I have tried a lot of different products and found that to maintain, I have been using the Shurhold Pro Polish...it seems to last longer than any of the carnuba's. From there I would...

    Why does my outboard eat coils?

    Problems like this I had many many years ago with my OMC Seadrive which is basically a Johnson motor was that my wiring across the motor was bad. I had found a ground wire that crossed over the top of the block, somewhat buried that had over 6 spots that were swollen with corrosion, so the...

    Local Grady White Dealer will not work on my Outboard

    I am curious on injectors...sending out to service vs replacing with new one's from ebay? Here is a set for example for my HPDI 200's. A full set of 6 for $81 bucks? Has anyone tried these and what are your thoughts on using these over servicing the originals...

    Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

    For sure, would not want that to happen! Yikes! Seems one could be made to secure it though that would be secure. Just thinking outloud...... :rolleyes:

    Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

    I wonder, maybe this is a crazy question, but can these motors be stored upright instead of layed down? Use the depth color to store it upright, maybe not when running offshore or in rough water, but for sure when docking?
