Seahunter, Did the gaskets you ordered from McMaster fit? I've been looking locally with no luck, I may have to place an order. Thanks, Pat

WOW, great job! I'd freak out just knowing I was about to spray a whole can of bedliner on my boat! :shock:

I just did mine with Spray Nine and a white scotch brite pad. It came out great, removed all the wax spots and brought it back to a dark blue color.

Ameron marine industrial coatings http://www.mdnautical.com/ameron/235-PDS-AI.pdf To answer your original post Ameron 235 or an equivalent is what I would use on the inside of the bracket, if anything. I'm a DIY guy all the way. I need all the cash I can free up for the gas tank. I know...

I'm not trying to tell you what you are doing is wrong. I read your posts about the projects on your boat and it looks great. My problem with powder is it is very unforgiving. If you chip it, crack it, scrape it etc. it will lead to failure. You cannot touch it up. Where as if you go with a...

Why are you going to powder coat vs. traditional paint application? Have you weighed the pros and cons of powder coat vs. paint? Leave the powder coat to Pauly at Orange County Choppers it has no place in an underwater marine application. I can email you what paint to use and the proper...

Mackie, what did you use for the backing plate?

I know with my cowling it is a bear to wrestle off the powerhead, and sometimes I knock the gasket out of place. You have to be sure your gasket is in place and your latches are greased and adjusted properly. The gasket may also try and roll, if you look at the gasket with the cowling in place...

I agree with Grog. There is a lot of upkeep that goes along with owning any boat whether you perform the upkeep yourself or you have someone else do it, it needs to get done, and done right. All boats have potential for problems, a lot of boats have common problem areas. Grady White boats are...

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm going to try and come up with an easy to remove flush mount like Brad mentioned. I don't know when I'll get to it, but I'll be sure to put up pics when I'm done. Pat

http://www.championtrailers.com/ This place has a lot of trailer parts. Never used them so I can't vouch for their service, but the prices seem reasonable.

I will be installing a new gps/plotter and fish finder, separate units this month. I have a 228 with the electronics compartment on the dash which I have my electronics mounted in now on gimball brackets. PIA to carry the stuff back and forth to the boat, small space to work in, stupid hatch...

I still don't understand the system, sorry OMC guy here. Is there a reserve or remote tank that you use to fill the main tank? If the tank is full and you are still getting a low oil warning start simple with the stuck float. Most tank level indicators are simple float switch design. Low oil is...

Not sure I completely understand your post. How will the oil tank fill if you hit the switch? What switch? If we are talking about a 2 stroke and you have a low oil warning check to be sure the float in the tank is not stuck. Otherwise I would trace the wiring for the alarm system and...

Your best bet would be to consult your owners manual. It will show all of the electrical diagrams and wire runs for your specific year and model boat. They can be found at http://www.gradywhite.com/customer/manuals/ Pat

Twin Suzuki DF150 or DF175. 475 lbs ea. 6 year warranty. I see plenty of them on the water, granted not as many as the Yamaha, but have not heard or read any bad reports. Oh yea don't forget the 6 year warranty.

I went through this issue a few years ago. I tried flitz, meguiars polish, woody wax, never dull, scotch brite pads and a stainless pot scrubber. None of those products worked so I tried using different grades of aluminum oxide sandpaper, 600 grit and higher. It took the pitting out, however it...

OakIsland, Thanks for the reply but that's not what I am looking for. I would like the OEM (Perko) replacement flaps which somehow snap into my existing scupper. Mine are one piece cast bronze with the recessed flap. I'm pretty sure they are Perko model #0377B. Anyone else ever replace these...

I think the moderators deleted alot of old posts. I was searching for a post today and it's gone.

I would like to replace the flaps on my scuppers. I did some searching online and could not find replacemnt flaps only the ping pong ball style. Does anyone have a source for the flaps? The scuppers are bronze, I believe Perko. I plan to confirm that with Grady this week. Problem with Perko is...
