I've done it with a 2004/2005 F150. What build date/model year (if any) is your motor? It needs to have the proper ECU/wiring harness with the white connector (2 wires blue/white).

That is incorrect for any navigation app with embedded charts. A cellular connection (for the "assist" in the assisted GPS functionality of a 3G/4G iPhone/iPad) is not required. The internal GPS antenna on the 3G/4G is all you need for full functionality. And as far as sonar goes, I'm sure you...

Is the boat unseaworthy? Well ... is it? Are there any objective symptoms, beyond moisture readings, that the transom's integrity has been compromised? How bad is it? Is the condition such that it jeopardizes the safe operation of the boat? It doesn't have to be perfect. Without knowing more, I...

There are a number of ways to isolate your electronics, and this is one of them. http://bluesea.com/viewresource/63 Because I have simple needs, I opted for an elegantly simple solution. I just added a dedicated "electronics" battery that is only connected to a fused switch panel and my onboard...

Here' a link that shows you what you're up against. I did not explain it too well the first time, so I'll try it again. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12899&p=89813#p89813 The long PVC tube positioned on the centerline drains the bilge area below the cabin. It runs underneath both fuel tank compartments...

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act III, scene II, where it is spoken by Queen Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. Gertie must have known grouperkng.

SV2 is simply a proprietary designation which GW applied to a relatively subtle design change it made to the bottom of its tried and true hull shapes (in the fashion I previously described). New is better, right? I would be very interested to know if the boat has spent much of its life stored as...

For better results, you should specify the boat's style and model number, as there is no such thing as a 1989 Grady White 2500. For example if it's a 25' Sailfish, the model numbers are 255, 254, and 252G. If it's a 25' Trophy Pro, the model numbers are 257, 258, and 259G. Also, it would be...

A deep dissatisfaction with life in general. The vituperative comments say more about the poster than they do about the particular boat. After a while, I found myself mentally building an amateur geographical and psychological profile of the forum members on THT, and I notice what they write...

This should be it.

Too bad ... you just did, and lost the positive vibe you could have received from me. From what I've seen, Grady owners on here seem to stay away from gratuitous political commentary. Sorry to kill your new boat buzz.

Here are some pics of my '87 Sailfish fuel tank replacement. Money was no object ... to the fabricator. Having watched the entire fuel line extraction process, I can say that I'm glad I didn't try it by myself. Cutting tools are a must. viewtopic.php?t=8357&highlight=

The silence is deafening. What kind of information are you looking for?

I found bulk rolls of rubber sheeting material at a local marine supply store which caters to the trade. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14506&p=95719#p95719

Only if the Cat I mounting position would be in a MORE DIFFICULT TO REACH location than its Cat II counterpart.

The best explanation of how Cat I and Cat II EPIRB's work is contained in the ACR manual http://www.acrelectronics.com/media/pro ... -0233F.pdf Jump to page 11 "Activating your beacon" and dive in. For a relatively small 228 Grady that won't sink, I cannot fathom a situation in which putting...

Yes, filling the seams will be necessary upon replacing the fuel compartment hatch cover. Carefully removing the old caulk from the mating surfaces is labor intensive, but will ensure a waterproof seal. I use ordinary silicone to facilitate hatch removal in the future. There may be some rubber...

Seriously? The way I read your question, what you're really asking is, "At what towing speed will my boat's vinyl enclosures tear loose and rip apart?" I don't know, but to find out, I am anxiously awaiting your next post with video, entitled, "Hey, watch this!"

That is my advice, and my experience, as well.

No. The stringers run longitudinally underneath the fiberglass "pads" upon which the fuel tanks rest. If you look at my "before" picture (of the old filthy, corroded main tank) you'll see that the fill and vent hoses run from the tank to the starboard side of the tank compartment, and exit the...
