Re: Best Compound and Wax to use to bring back the grady hul 3M Finness It if the oxidation isn't too bad on a wool pad. 2' x 2' section at a time until you get a mirror finish. Follow up with a good wax or polish. In the past I've used Collonite Fleetwax but tried StarBright Marine Polish...

I keep mine rolled up during the summer. It's nice to have if you get stuck in a thunderstorm. They are rolled down and washed when I clean the boat and then rolled back up. Much less hassle that taking them entirely out.

I use the cheap Harbor Freight buffer that on sale a lot for about $30. It's OK for the time or two per year that I use it. I did order good backing plates and pads from Lake Country.

I typically use a fishbox or livewell for drinks, etc when not fishing just to avoid having a cooler in the cockpit. However, I use a Igloo cooler for frozen bait that I bring aboard when offshore fishing. I put some stick-on rubber feet on this cooler and it does a pretty good job of keeping...

I'm guessing your talking about getting into the helm box and not the overhead. There is a cover inside the helm box that needs to be removed. It's a plastic piece about 8 inches long. From the inside of the cabin there a piece of carpeted trim about 2 x 3 inches with a single screw attaching...

Make sure you just loosen the nut and don't totally remove it or once it lets go so may a few of your teeth. :D

Good advice... It is a simple fix but if it isn't overheating no need to "fix" it.

Looks like they're single rigged to me. Hard to tell from the photo.

I think I paid about $25 through the dealer but no shipping charges

Had my Grady dealer order replacements last year. There not cheap but the old ones lasted 12 years!

A P66 transom mount transducer will give decent results for around $125. I would not use the Garmin transducer...it'll be under a $100.

I did the exact same thing. Been very pleased with them.

Here's a photo of mine....you can't tell a lot of detail but it is flush mounted in starboard.

I would also question that performance. Maybe with little fuel and single person. My 228 has a 225HP and in smooth water I would be around 4300 RPM to run 30MPH.

Last year I flush mounted two 700 series Garmins in Seafarer. One is used primarily as chart plotter/radar and the other for sonar. I already had a Garmin external antenna which I connected to the chart plotter/radar unit. The sonar unit doesn't have an external antenna and it works just...

Here are some pages from a Yamaha Service Manual that may help you out. This manual has been invaluable for me with my OX66. You should purchase one if you like to do your own engine work. Hope these help...

Hey Bob, I didn't realize that ya'll have had such a bad winter in the NC mountains. It's been a pretty mild winter in Charleston. We've had a string of temps in the 70s and not much cold in between. I think just last week the high was 78.

If you look at the Lowrance web page they refer to this as a fishfinder/chartplotter combo. Sounds like the use of SONAR and fishfinder is being used interchangeably. As far as I know there isn't a difference.

I just replaced mine during the summer. They're made by Southco but I bought them from my local Grady dealer. They aren't cheap but the boat was 12 years old so I can't complain too much. The electronics box on my 228 swings down from the forward end which helped greatly getting to the nuts...

Congrats! Looks great
