Every season I try to have the least amount of fuel going into storage, but this year, as other years, I had somewhere between 25 and 30 gal on board. I have used the jiggly thing, air compressor, mouth to hose and hand pump. Last year I tried to rig an auto pump, but I was sold the wrong pump...

Has anyone rebuilt a hydraulic actuator from Bennett? The fellow from Bennett was helpful on the phone, but he basically told me to go out and buy a new one. I am not trying to be cheap, but I would hate to find out I just needed to buy a $6 "O" ring. Any guidance or sourcing info is very...

Hello All, Our offer for West Yarmouth was accepted today, so Englewood boat ramp will be home base unless something goes sideways on the home inspection. We are tentatively scheduled for end of Feb. closing. Thank you again for all the input from all you Captains on this “Great Grady” website.

Not sure what motor you have, but with my 99 OX66, the cooling stream will be low pressure at idle and will become very powerful when RPMs increase. I did not know this at the time. My motors cooling stream was always low pressure regardless of RPMs and I was told that its just the way some...

I hear its a great rotary though :)

Update to Cape Cod search after 3 rd visit. Today we are making an offer on a 2 bedroom located in West Yarmouth at Lewis Bay, a few streets up from Edgewood Beach. Any issues about the ramp there? We looked hard in the upper Cape, Falmouth, Pocasett, & Cataumet, but very little to choose...

Hey Koby, thanks for the great write up. I have an Adventure 208, if I launch out of the public ramp at Bass River, would I be limited on rough days? Another's opinion was that I would be and on any day its too far to the Vineyard and other areas to the east. You speak highly of Bass River. Are...

Not sure if Onset qualifies, but yes we are open to those areas.

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies. My wife and I made our second trip to the Cape in as many weeks yesterday and saw some interesting properties. Had a better feeling about not necessarily being on the water or even several streets away, which I think means we are getting to know the...

My wife and I are looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom cottage/home and supply is way down and closing prices are 22% above last year :oops:. Given circumstances beyond my control, we have to do it soon or never. If you know the Cape please share your opinions as to locations that have easy walking or...

If your surveyor or certified Yam dealer has the system, you can get an operational history of hrs/ RPMs which will tell you how it was run. Seems like pretty low hours and a nice boat. Good luck

Hamilton Marine has four or five locations in Maine and will also ship. They have a huge selection and you could probably build a boat from their catalog. Grady specialty parts probably means dealership visit.

I found a mud dauber nest under my cabin headliner when I changed out my warning horn. It was not active, but had a lot of dead inside it. Glad it worked out that way as I have a real problem with wasp, hornets and bees. Don't even get me started about those Asian hornets

Look for an article from the recently deceased author/marine surveyor David Pascoe. I will paraphrase the title of his article but its something like, "The Myth of Water in Fuel Tanks" from condensation. He discusses the maximum amount of condensate that could be generated in a tank under...

With a Yamaha set up, including gauges I thought it might make a difference. Thanks

Is the output signal on the fuel sender American Standard, Euro or custom. Kus threw me a curveball when I tried to order a new unit for my 1999 GW Adventure 208. The motor is a OX66. I was tempted to say American Standard, but the engine is metric and closer to home the mounting screws on the...

I have the exact motor as you. My motor suffered weak stream (not late stream) both in and out of the water. Eventually it cost me a total rebuild. I a have a tenuous understanding, but talk to a good mechanic! There is a "poppet valve" that regulates stream at idle and underway. More rpms...

I posted this back in 2012. The ding was deep enough to get to the fiberglass, but not damage the fiberglass. See below. Great Results w/ Grady Gelcoat Postby langski93 » Oct Tue 09, 2012 4:48 am I have always hesitated to fill in a couple of cosmetic dings on the topsides of my 208, figuring...

This is a post I wrote awhile ago, but I think it applies. Good luck Great Results w/ Grady Gelcoat Postby langski93 » Oct Tue 09, 2012 4:48 am I have always hesitated to fill in a couple of cosmetic dings on the topsides of my 208, figuring I would just make it worse. Recently, I had an...

There is a small steel bracket that receives a knurled screw to allow the Bimini frame to pivot and fold/unfold fore and aft, mounted on the both sides of the cabin. The screw sheared off the port side and left the threaded remainder in the bracket. I am not sure I can drill out the piece, so I...
