Good advice. Thank you. In this case I'd never heard of bolster clips. Great idea but I've never seen this concept before.

I'll try that great idea. Thank you.

I thought it was steel diamond plate but its actually a very thick gray plastic with that pattern. See new pics added. I cleaned the larger section. The dirty section is what was behind the carpet covered panel. It's still dirty and or molded. Hoping to get to that soon.

Here is the multi-page spec on the Mechanical Products breaker switches used on some GW boats as part of the switch panel: https://www.mechprod.com/hubfs/_2017/Data%20Sheets/MP%20Series%2016%20Datasheet%20QC-4006-A.pdf One of mine was the 5amp version, 1680-219-050. Its not on the spec but the...

I just learned how to remove the seat cushions as well as many other cushions on this and probably other boats. To remove seat stern facing motorized seat. 1.) Remove the 2 screws under the stern end of the seat. 2.) Hold stern end of seat up. 3.) Bump the cushion forward with the heel of...

Custom features for a boat should/could have customized schematics, but GW should be able to provide the standard schematics, which show everything that is standard. Extra features would be in addition to the standard switches, wiring, relays, etc. but would probably utilize some of the unused...

I know this is an old post but I noticed someone saying their 'wiring was rated for 15 amps'. There can be more to a proper rating for a circuit than the wires you see. It is best to stay with the rating for that circuit, usually defined on the fuse block for that circuit. If you use a 15A...

After I dug deeply into the cluster of wires going into the breakers and the switches I did find the same colors that go back to the spreader light and nav light. They are so tightly clustered I couldn't see what was what for several hours. Thank you.

Thank everyone for all the help and advice. It's quite a blessing to have some experienced GW owners out there to help each other out. After spending several hours today I have determined that the problem is a failed control panel mounted breaker. These are made by “Mechanical Products Co.”...

Unfortunately the official Owner's Manual for the GW 2021, 235 has NO circuit diagrams whatsoever. That's what is irritating. I had a 22' Sea Hunt boat worth 1/3 the price of the GW and their Manual came with whole boat schematics.

Thank you. Those are fantastic, and as I would suspect would be available from really white from my boat, but as I said, I contacted Grady white says ‘they don’t make them available’. He said they don’t even have schematics. I find that difficult to believe that they would manufacture such a...

Sorry. 2” long not 22” long screws:)

Only about 1% of the wires are labeled to btw. Mainly, only the major 3/8” power feeds are labeled. See pics attached. I may have to resort to identifying things by an ohms/continuity test. Electronics is my field. Schematics would make troubleshooting soooo much easier. Did GW provide...

It’s a 2021. I have the printed Grady white manual and I’ve also downloaded the one from the website, but they are amazingly devoid of schematics. I’ve already talked to a customer service man at GW and he gave me a simplistic schematic, but it doesn’t show much significant at all. He tells me...

According to my contact at Grady white, they don’t publish any kind of schematics for their boats. This makes troubleshooting quite difficult. Can anyone point me to any source for schematics for their boats? I’m trying to trace out a spreader light problem and it would be a lot easier if I had...

How can I remove the cushion of the motorized recliner on the port side of a 2021 freedom 235? I removed 22 inch long screws on the stern end from underneath, but this didn’t help. See pics of this seat attached. Thank you!

Its a new boat to me so I don't know the history. I understand about conditions needed to grow mold. I've cleaned the surface and I' planning to do some snooping around as best as I can below decks to look for trapped water. There is no drain hole for this region. There should be no salt water...

Is it normal for the metal diamond pattern deck inside the starboard console to become black with mold? I don’t see this black mold in the battery compartment in the stern. It’s just in this console area. I’m wondering if I don’t have some trapped water somewhere, causing water to condense...

I did try all the switches while I had the anchor locker open and it was night time so I could see if the lights came on. I'll try but I don't think the locker opening is large enough for my fat head. There is no information in the Manual about this. Thank you.
