    Cleaning while mooring

    Yea I'm aware of that, it did not come with it. Is it even possible to have it installed after the fact fairly easily? Expensive? Didn't think it was. Thanks Ksg, might look into something like that.

    Motor won't trim down

    Thanks, Sea. I tried the override screw on the port side, really tough to turn while I'm squatting down on the swim platform, even with a decent sized screwdriver. But it does come down intermittently. Hey noob question, how do I check the fluid level? Where am I looking? Also, on the...

    Motor won't trim down

    I have a 1997 yamaha v6 175 2-stroke outboard that stays in the up position. It's not the manual latch that keeps it up, I checked that already. I'm getting electricity, the motor sounds fine when you hit either the up or down switch. Does it sound like hydraulic fluid issue?

    Surveyors on LI?

    Looking into a few used Grady's over the next week or so, so I'd imagine I need a surveyor who has knowledge in Grady White's. Has any one had a good experience with any local ones on Long Island? Or tri-state area? Currently going to look an 88 seafarer and a 97 adventure.

    Soft Spot on Seafarer Deck

    I'm looking into a used grady, specifically a 1990 seafarer with 1994 power. I spoke with the dealer at the marina and he told me that there is a soft spot on the deck about 2 feet in diameter, suspecting it is rotten plywood under the deck. First, I was not aware that grady had plywood under...
