I have a new 200HO G2 on my 244 Grady Explorer and still trying to dial in my setup with motor height and propeller selection. I have had it out a total of 4 times with 28 hours on it thus far. The mounting dealer started high on mounting position and worked their way down to the present...

I have run the same boat witha 250 ficht and played around with props and engine mounting height considerably. The ideal height is 2nd highest bolt hole. If you want the best fuel economy and stern lift, I would use a 15 x 15.75 BRP Rebel prop. I was getting about 2.6 nm per gallon with my...

Re: 1995 Johnson Ocean Runner Stalling When Returned to Neut The shift interrupter switch is located on the shift linkage under the cowling (should be on the starboard side of the motor). It is a small black device with a spring loaded pin that closes the switch as the shift linkage goes...

I am possibly going to be installing a windlass on my 244 Explorer. The previous owner just had the typical Danforth anchor in the anchor locker, however I am going to go with something like a Lewmar Delta for the windlass application. What size of this style anchor will fit well with the pulpit...

That sounds like a great plan if you are comfortable with the reduced fuel capacity. I ended up parting ways with my 226 seafarer, but once I get my new to me 92 244 Explorer back into shape, I may consider revisiting this idea for the new boat, as currently I only have the 93 g main tank.

Sorry, about that... did not see this reply. I can not seem to get the email notifications to actually work on this forum. I will send you a PM.

Thanks!

Anyone have a link to replacement floor drain transom thru-hulls/scuppers that Grady used circa 1992? I want to replace the plastic ones with bronze or stainless (trailered boat) for peace of mind. I found a link on here searching through some threads for these by Attwood, but not sure if they...

Totally agree with this... my garage is filled with harbor freight items, but only simple use items that have above 4.5 stars for reviews. Two things I can think of off the top of my head that are in fact decent harbor freight purchases are their one style angle grinder, and the one...

Sounds like a successful shakedown run. What ramp did you launch from on the Delaware? We had to take one of our work boats out there the other day and encountered the same issue with no docks at the Duck Island Ramp south of Trenton. Thankfully I had waders and just climbed aboard in the...

I will wholeheartedly agree with this. I had one fail with the snap ring popping out and almost take out my leg when the tongue fell on the ground. Thankfully it just caught my jeans and tore them from the thigh down.....

Every time I have drained old fuel, I have pulled the level sender through an access plate and inserted some clear poly tubing to the bottom corner of the tank. Attached a primer bulb to the end of the tubing and pump away. I usually use alternate with 2 or more 5 gallon containers. Just did...

I am familiar with that hatch on the 190. On my previous Grady a 190 Tarpon, I replaced the fuel tank and moved it up to the forward part of the center space between the stringers. I replaced/relocated the two center bulkheads and turned the rear space into a finished fish box that used that...

I like the idea of the deck still being watertight as it is a self-bailing deck. If things get bad out there and I am ending up with a lot of water on the deck, I do not want to compromise the seaworthiness of the vessel due to water draining from above the deck essentially into the bilge. I...

So I have been thinking of ways to free up more space/organize the cabin area into less of a clutter for the offshore trips that I have been taking on my 1988 226 Seafarer. My boat only has the main 93 gallon fuel tank installed and the large empty space forward of that tank where the aux. tank...

Not sure if you ended up picking a prop yet or not, but just had my 1988 226 out yesterday with my newly mounted 2001 Evinrude DI 250. Running a 15.75 x 15 BRP Rebel prop with three guys, bimini up, 80 gallons of fuel or so, and a boatload of fishing gear, I was pulling 43.5 mph at 6000 rpm. I...

Are you referring to the lines running from the external reservoir or the lines on the engine? I just repowered my 88 226 Seafarer with a 2001 Evinrude DI 250. I essentially went over everything before installing the outboard on my boat. One of the things I ended up doing was checking and...

Re: Thru Hull List for 1989 Seafarer - Wanted to post my fin Thanks a bunch! Very useful info. The PO of my boat (88 226) replaced most of the originals with cheapo thru-hulls and I want to replace them with stainless. This will certainly save me a whole bunch of time.

Control cables are a fairly easy job. First of all, make sure the outboards are in neutral. Remove the starboard side lower engine cowling on each motor (this is not mandatory as far as I remember, but it certainly makes it a little easier disconnected the cable ends from the linkages). Remove...

If the outboard trims down but not up, it most likely is the tilt limit switch located beneath the front lower cowling near where your steering linkage is attached. It is a small square black box with a single "plunger" type (looks like a dimple) switch held in place with a 10mm bolt. This works...
