    Zipper stuck on overhead storage compartment

    Never mind. Just used a hammer and lightly banged on the zippers till they came lose. Washed everything out and applied some zipper lube on there.

    Zipper stuck on overhead storage compartment

    The zipper is stuck on the overhead storage area on my T-Top. Any suggestions on unsticking it? I'm sure it's just salt corrosion.

    New Grady debut at the end of the month. Big, little, or in-between?

    Better seating, more shade, family friendly. Fishing isn't the only reason to own a boat. I find that CCs separate people. You are either in the front or the back completely separated from each other. Different strokes.

    Sandbar Anchor - Suggestions

    I use a black Cooper anchor on the stern with about 8' of chain. Works perfectly in sandy bottoms.

    Man, a Grady cat would be awesome!

    How do I turn off tracks on my Garmin?

    How do I turn off my tracks on my Garmin map without deleting existing tracks? Don't want to get rid of the ones already on the map, just don't want to make new ones.

    New steering wheel

    Me too, but my buddy has a new Grady and the rubber inserts are very nice. Not $600 nice, but I'd pay $200 for it.

    Freedom 235 vs 255?

    I haven't been on a 255, but a buddy of mine who just bought a 235 said he tried them all and he couldn't tell the difference between the 235 and 255 other than the twin engine. He said cabin space was virtually identical.

    Freedom 235 vs 255?

    That is true, but in this case the 235 has the swim platforms and the 255 does not. The 25'7" overall length of the 235 is actually almost a foot longer than the 255. To the OP, I'd get the 235 just for the swim platforms, especially if this is going to be a family cruising boat. Inside...

    New steering wheel

    I found one on some parts website. Don't know if it was the GW version, but it was $600! That can't be right for a steering wheel.

    New steering wheel

    Anyone have a part number or know where I can find this steering wheel? Mine is just basic SS. My buddy has this with the rubber inserts on his new Coastal Explorer.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    It seemed fast because it always got hung up if I held the button for too long. I have to use short, quick bursts of maybe 4-5 seconds.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    Knocking the pile down helped a lot this weekend. Thanks for the tip!

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    I can see how the pile could be the problem. I does seem to be stacked up higher than when the boat was brand new. I definitely have too much line for my needs. Not sure how much line I have, but so far all of my anchoring has been in 3' or less water.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    It's whatever new Grady's come with.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    When bringing my anchor up, every time it gets clogged up. It comes up too fast. Have to bring the anchor up in short bursts. The windlass moves so fast that gravity just can't keep up. Plus, it always gets hung up when it gets to the knot (I know there's a term for where the chain and line...

    Filling marine head reservoir, 2024 Freedom 235

    I've had my 235 for over a year and still don't know how to use the head. Nothing online, nothing in the paperwork...you would think there would be detailed step by step instructions in the Capt Grady app. It's like it's a secret or something.

    When does a repower not make economic sense?

    So the original owner had Evinrudes installed new? That alone will effect resale, even if they work just fine. But still not cost effective to repower.

    When does a repower not make economic sense?

    How did you end up with Evinrude engines on a late model Grady? If you are planning to upgrade the boat in a couple of years, it wouldn't make sense to repower. Just fix your current engines up as best you can and sell the whole thing. Trade it in at the dealership on a newer Grady and let it...
