I boat on the Great South Bay and fish out of Fire Island Inlet with my 228 (bracketed version of the 226). Perfect boat for that ..I am out by myself 50% of the time.

Re: Trying to decide what path to take. Older Grady or New C Have you checked prices? I'm not sure what kind of new 23 foot cc you can buy for 50k. If you're buying new I would think that you would want good electronics, a big enough engine and all the other options that make you excited about...

The spreader lights don't work either? If so, there are 2 separate switches if I remember correctly, so doubtful that both went bad at the same time, (same with the bulbs)but anything is possible. I would do what Roberth suggests in that order. I had to replace the dome switch at one point and...

I have to agree with whats been said here : learn to use your tabs and you'll be happy with the ride….it does take awhile.

I saw these on another forum. People seemed very happy with them as the guy will work with you to try and fit your particular situation.

This maybe another option. http://www.sea-cure-marine.com

My 2010 F-250,330 hours and has been flawless. With regard to the squealing problem..I understand that was a bushing issue around 2005/2006 iirc, which was corrected with new style bushing. As you mentioned , there was a squealing issue after that which is pretty much harmless. I had it myself...

Pull the switch out, get the number off of it and order it online if you cant get it at West Marine.

Wow..you dont realize just how quiet those engines can be until you see this video. All you hear is the hull cutting the water.

The bean bags come in small, medium, large, teardrop, with arms , without etc. I have 2 small ones that my grandchildren use but they work for small adults as well. VERY comfortable and no worries about tipping while underway. The 2 main manufacturers are E Sea Rider and Ocean Tamer. You can...

Could one one of your trim tabs be stuck in the down or partially down position? Run each tab up and down separately and check..if you cant see the tab, use a broomstick or similar to feel if the tabs are actually moving.

Yep...can even get it with a 300 as of 2010. http://yamahaoutboards.com/sites/defaul ... 10_owa.pdf

It cost about $10 and is simple to replace. Irregardless of explosive possibility , Dennis makes an excellent point of EPA liability if your bilge pump starts throwing raw gas into the water…think its $15k minimum fine. Lets see, $10 or $15k…hmm. If the lawsuits start to fly, wouldn't you want...

This ^^^^^^^^^ My Grady came from the factory with the plate buried.I guess they would rather have it that way then to get sued if a novice boater went hard into a turn and it broke loose and people were injured. I raised mine 2 holes and it's fine.

I would call Grady customer service with that question.

You may want to be more specific on your location…lots of "bay areas" in lots of places.

Thanks Big..much appreciated.

Couple of questions for anyone who has done it. Seems that you can pull each one out independently; if so, what type of tool did you use on the bottom screw. If not, I imagine you would have to pull the whole unit off which looks like you would have to remove the live well to access it. Can you...

Be careful with those 225's in the years you mentioned.It's imperative that you have the exhaust scoped for the dreaded corrosion. Thinking you might be better off with an F 250 for a few reasons if your can swing it...better power, no stigma of corrosion problem that can affect resale and...

Most likely the water pump, especially if its never been changed. If thats the case I would not attempt it myself because if those LU bolts haven't been opened in 7 years in salt water, I can guarantee they aren't coming off without a serious fight. You mentioned that it overheated while...
