Your best bet would be to call customer service @ Grady White in Greenville (252-752-2111). They are great guys to work and will be happy to help you.

I have a Lowrance LCX 38cHD but it may be the same. Go to your menu and look for GPS set up. Hit enter and go to the area that lets you configure the NMEA input and output. Make sure the NMEA output box is checked or it won't send any signal from the GPS. Mine uses a Baud rate 0f 4800. Don't...

Bill, Are you moving or sitting still when this happens? Is your transducer mounted on the right or left side of the transom? I had the same problem on my previous BW with an LMS 240 at speed b/c the knuckle head BW dlr mounted my transducer on the port side of the transom. It worked fine at...

Twin Cities Marine in Two Rivers WI has a brand new 2007 Sailfish in stock. Magical Bill loves that dealership. He bought his Gulfstream from them and swears by them. I would give them a call and try to work something out. That way you wouldn't have to worry about the survey, engines, condition...

Bama, I can't agree with you about there being no more room. The 255 cockpit is 60 sq ft where you and I have 49 sq ft. The beam is 8'5" where we have 8'. The centerline length is 24' 8" where we have 22' 2". Those all add up to more room.

That's what I love about my Trophy Pro. HUGE cockpit for a 25 footer. Tell me about your ETecs. I've been reading a lot about them and they sound like wonderful motors. With 300 hr service intervals, what a great motor for the Great Loop or any extended cruise where getting service every 100...

Bill, Just out of curiosity, where did he price the Sailfish to you? He tried to hit me @ $120K which I thought was too high for a "new" three year old boat, and that was six months ago. I think with the new technology of the electronic engine controls and the new 4.2 Liter F-250, he may be...

Eric, I don't know if you've bought a boat or not yet, but Twin Cities Marine in Two Rivers, WI (Magical Bill's dealer) still had a brand new left over 2007 Sailfish showing in his inventory as of yesterday. I would think one might be able to negotiate a pretty good deal on that boat if it's...

Not at all. Just remembered reading it and knew where to look it up.

Seasick, I agree with your response except for your comment about twisting the wires. Let me refer you to Chapman Piloting and Seamanship 64th Edition, page 444, column one, paragraph two; "The two wires of a circuit can be twisted together to avoid the creation of a magnetic field. Make sure...

You have to do what you have to do. Make sure you twist the wires from the radio around each other. That will negate some of the deviation. After you install it you should compensate your compass. Go to www.ritchienavigation.com and look at the methods of compensating your compass. Be sure to...

A marine head was not an option in 2008. The head options were porti potti w/pump out or porti potti w/in line macerator. There is no holding tank on a 225 only a fresh water shower tank. Hope this helps.

Eric, Talk to Pat Grasso @ Beaver Park Marine in Lorain, Ohio. He has a brand new 2008 Gulfstream in stock w/ F350. It's priced on their website @ $89,995. I bought my 2008 Tournament 225 from them and they are great to work with. Their number is 877-494-0212 or 440-282-6308 or...

That boat is great! I'm a volunteer Captain/EMT for the Harrods Creek Fire Dept in KY. We are a suburb of Louisville on the Ohio River. Go to www.HCFD.org to see our 38' Zodiac Fire boat, unit 1291, and all its specs. We cover the Ohio from the McAlpine Locks and dam upriver to the...

Beautiful boat! You'll love the electric over hydraulic brakes on the trailer. I'll never have a trailer without them again.

Mike, We got our boats at about the same time so I definitely feel your pain. The worst thing about these kind of incidents is how angry I get w/ myself, but just let it go. Everybody's safe and the mechanical parts can be replaced. I think it is preferable to damaging the hull and more easily...

Glad that's all it was. I had a similar situation which turned out to be more serious. The local Yamaha dealer, we don't have a Grady dealer for 365 miles, changed the oil using the drain plug and cross threaded it when it was put back in. It leaked slowly and formed a small puddle beneath the...

No matter how cheap, spend the money to have it surveyed and be very suspicious of rotten soft flooring, rotten or wet transom, and corroded fuel tanks just to name a few. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you like the play?

Personally I would be very surprised if water was getting into your engine from outside. These motors are engineered to sit on the transoms of boats left outdoors in all types of weather, rain, wind, etc. Plus they seem to dominate the salt water ocean fishing market. Certainly you would think...
