I’m trying to access the starboard tubing that currently supplies antennae cable, so I can drop Garmin radar power/network cables through along with GPS 24xd cable. I want to remove the almond color cockpit light panel from my 2022 grady white 235 hardtop. Anyone know how to remove it so I can...

Thanks for the advice everyone. We are talking about a GW 235. Any hints in snaking the cables through from hardtop into helm are welcomed.

For those of you who ran the power cable through the starboard tubing, how did you get access to it. I have been told that I will need to unscrew the top and bottom of the tubing to get access; thus drilling through the hardtop from the starboard side above the tube. I thought I could take off...

Thanks for mentioning the transducer. I am assuming the transducer is powered off whenever the boat is turned off and/or the battery selector is turned to the off position. I need to find how to turn it off and on in the menus on my 1243xsv just in case.

I looked at my manual, and it does not give a wire diagram. I will need to do one myself. From hearing from others here, it sounds like these are the following options that will be effective without much power drop or hazardous. Is this right? 1) that if I do put a second fuse panel, then...

On my switch panel I do have some Aux switches that are there for expansion; however, in the fuse panel, each of the slots are filled. I do like the idea of maybe adding a 2nd fuse panel beside it like the existing fuse panel for future expansion. Does anyone see any issues with me placing...

I’m planning to install the Garmin fantom and a heading sensor. I’m new to wiring on boats, but not in homes. I see on my panel (bluesea system -12) that each slot is taken up besides on the side near the negative. I’m wondering where to hook up the radar power cord (with the inline 7.5A fuse)...

Great info! So it sounds like if I want to utilize MARPA, go with MSC10. Anyone have a pic where they mounted their MSC10? If MARPA is not a concern but want good heading, go with the 24xd instead of 9axis.

The 24xd seems middle of the road and have flexibility to place on top of hardtop, on bow, or maybe even in locker as long as it’s not close to magnets. Have you used the steady cast prior to the 24xd and notice any major difference?

Hi all, I am planning to install a Garmin fantom 24x with hinge mount on a 2022- GW235. I have read that having a heading sensor would be ideal to have overlay on chart. Where on the GW235 should I place the sensor? Does it have to go on the bow or can I place it in storage seating on either...

Wicky, did you use one 36V lithium battery (if so, which one?) or #3 - 12V batteries in the seat storage in front of the helm console? Did you place a quick release puck and/or motor plug receptacle? Do you mind sharing a photo of your setup? What made you decide on the Minn Kota vs Rhodan...

Lots of variables to consider for sure. I've been in 3.5 ft before by accident. I like to play it safe, so I'm thinking 2.5- 3ft tops for me.

Thank you. I do like the hinge method if they do not make a shorter radar dome.

Thanks for the information. This is helpful.

Hello all, I have been searching for a short radar dome for my Grady white 235. I am running a garmin 1243xsv, and I looked at their site for the radar domes. Those domes are a minimum of 9". The reason being is for clearance into my storage unit which has an 11.5 ft high door entrance, so I...

Hi all, I have a 2022 GW 235 with the F300 Yamaha. I was wondering how shallow can the boat go. I know it is often dependent on the amount of weight that is on the vessel, but what is the general shallow depth for the vessel? I am thinking of doing some future fishing in shallow water and may...

My head is like seasick described. I do not have a vacuflush system. I assume that you can never eject all fluid from the holding tank, correct? I guess like wahoo mentioned could be done, close off inlet secock and fill bowl with freshwater then open discharge seacock to eject from boat.

Primarily I will be in freshwater, but most likely out in saltwater 5-7 times a year. The GW 235 comes with a 20gal freshwater tank with nozzle and a raw water wash down setup too.

Thanks. I flushed it in a freshwater lake to make sure everything is working. So needless to say, it has been used, but I do not want the lake water to stay in the tank. So are you saying basically while it is on the trailer to close the inlet and the discharge seacocks, take a hose to fill the...

Hi all, ready to use the head for the first time on my new 2022 GW 235 freedom. I want to maintain it being clean without odor. I have a porcelain bowl, electric flush with macerator jabsco. I plan to discharge the tank after each trip properly to the law. What’s the best process to keep the...
