I installed an Airmar B60-20 transducer which is also a thruhull. The inside surface in the bilge where I wanted to install it was uneven also, causing the outer flange to seat unevenly when I dry fitted it. I used a dremel with a sanding bit to level the high edge of the inside hole.

Let us know how effective sucking thickened fast setting epoxy into a 1/8" or 1/16" syringe is, OK?

I'm with Coco. I take an appropriate size dowel, soak it with epoxy, poke it into the hole all the way, pull it out a hair and nip it with side cutter nippers, and then re-poke the dowel so the dowell is recessed slightly. Then, you can take a dab of thickened epoxy over the dowell end, and...

Adam, Actually, for my fishing purposes, I much prefer the engines on the transom and NOT a bracket. I wouldn't have it any other way. If I were to "upgrade," it would be to a used 265 Express (which has the motors on the transom also). I use the livewell to keep brewskis cold and the fishbox...

So you have a 230 Gulfstream with cutout transom? That's what I got and twins are no problem. Reference my sig block. You can save yourself a lot of money by installing the engines yourself. That's what I did (motors were two years old). It would help pay for your extra controls. After I hung...

I would get a survey for whatever boat you plan to buy. There are many Gradys out there that don't need a new transom or stringers (evidence my 1989 Gulfstream). There were things I had to replace though. Depends on how well the previous owners maintained her. You upgrade the important things...

Going around the bow flare with the wide stripe was a little bit of a challenge, but the rest was easy.

My $.02 observations: * Sounds like Pursuit has the edge under the deck, and Grady deck-level and above. * Megabytes expresses my thoughts well. By the way, I must be one of the few without a bow pulpit; and I LIKE IT THAT WAY. Also, wood is good, as long as you take care of it. * A 23' boat...

The bias has always been there. You're an over sensitive sucker for trying to justify "overpaying for a crap boat" if you defend Grady; even while they try to justify their own boats that drain fish puke into the bilge. I say f-em. I enjoy my boat; that's all that matters. You know, I wonder why...

Most of the Grady hulls are 20 degrees, although I don't know that model.

I had a crack in the hose on my aft (Main) tank a couple years ago. Yes, I smelled the fuel odor in the same places as yours. If you replace fill hoses yourself, you will need to make an access hole in the side of the gunwale abeam the fill nozzles. I cut the hole there with a rotozip and later...

Re: kicker Don't use drift socks, trolling you will blow them out very quickly. I'd recommend giving Frank Kittrick a call at the following site and ask about a set of Beefy Bags. They are made specifically for trolling. My boat will get down to 2.0 on a single 150, but I want to start fishing...

Go to the Grady White website. They have all the owners manuals posted on there.

The fuses for the fwd and aft float switches should be bundled and tied up near the battery switch in the back somewhere. The wires are brown.

On the question of the auto bilge pump function; did you check to see if they were properly wired? The float switch positive and negative should run to the batteries and Perko power shutoff switch. The negative wire will typically be found connected to a negative post on a battery (or a negative...

Had fun replacing my motorwell transom drain tubes yesterday and today. I used a large screw driver like a chisel and bent the tube flares on the outside of the transom inward, then a screw driver pounded straight into the transom along the outer edge of the old tubes. Once I got them bent in...

Depends on what I'm fishing for, but, if we're down in VA fishing for Stripers it has to be "Rock." If fishing for Walleyes up North it is Country. It just drives the fish wild. :wink:

Hope it all works out for you. Workdog

sfc basically stated the "Dunk Decarb Technique." That is the one I use with 50-100 total hours (as soon after 50 hours as is feasible).

Sorry, duplicate.
