Here are a couple of comments from a Lake Michigan boater with a 25' 1988 Sailfish I/O. I also have an 18 footer with an outboard on a stearn bracket. Pushing the motor further back does give the motor more leverage over the boat. It could be of some help with steering but I think it would...

There are two types of kicker motor mounts. The one you refer to is a non adjustable type. You must tilt the motor up in order to get the prop out of the water when your running with the big engine. This requires a set back from the transom - which means a bit of a reach to get to the...

Trolling for salmon on Lake Michigan we see "hooks" all the time. Arches are fish. Fish are hooks. The fishfinder measures distance from the transducer. Arches are formed on the screen because when the fish first comes into the transducer cone it is further away from the transducer than...

Additional information coming out of a brain fade. I had two cushions that covered fish boxes re done. They were approx. 14"X 16". Price for both was $70. They matched the Grady vinyl perfectly. This was done by a Mom and Pap shop in SW MI. After that I realized that my captains...

Page down about 30 - 40 topics to "Refurbishing Cockpit Bolster Pads" That discussion about said it all but let us know if you have further questions. It's and easy do project that brightens the boat.

PS I used to fish out of Monroe, MI on Erie.

Although I do have a Hummingbird I'm not famaliar with your model. Most will have an on/off somewhere in the menu for the fish symbol. Turn off and you will get only arches. Turn on and you will only get fish symbols. Second, check the bottom of your transducer to see if it is basically...

Does mark bottom?

Petros Does lexan have a shiney, smooth surface. I need a piece 12" X 24" X 1/2" thick. Were did you source it?

I have a Davit Master for my 25 ft. Grady Sailfish. I'm on a fresh water river and it is tricky when the current is strong. I'm happy with the Davit Master. I've had it for three years. I found that it is not much more expensive to over size the lift. I have a 11,000 pound lift. I would...

My original vinyl did not have welting on the ends. It's a 1988 model year Sailfish. It was nicely folded over and stapled.

I bought matching wood grain laminate at a local cabinet maker. I purchased a 4 foot 8 foot sheet for about $60.00. He told me to use an adhesive powder mixed with water. I found the adhesive he recommended at Ace Hardware. He said it would stand up to heat from direct sunlight, premixed...

Yes and No. I had the same need a year ago. Picked up a Marine Dealer's name on this site that has parts for older boats. I cannot remember the name. It was on the East Coast - possibly Jew Jersey. I assume it was a Grady dealer. They knew exactly what I was looking for. Sorry I...

When you get the combing board off take some picture of the corners and ends to remind you how the professionals did it. On my first recovering job a few years back I spent to much time trying to get the ends and corners perfect. An extra pair of hands will help when you get to this part...

I just finished the same project. This is the second time for my 1988 Sailfish I/O. This time I replaced the plywood backing. I used 3/8" monel staples and found them plenty long. And I used a manual stapler. I didn't have a problem as long as I pressed down hard with the stapler...
