    Fish box drains realllllllly slow

    Actually I did that angle also. Not much movement, which I guess is good because I did not have the drain covered at the time!

    Fish box drains realllllllly slow

    Is there a recommended way to unplug the fish box drain? More importantly is there a really wrong way to do it? I don't want to break anything. Happily I think it might have some scales in there, it's taking over night drain out an inch of water. I blasted the water hose in there but it's...

    Detailing details please. And missing gasket?

    Getting ready to polish up the boat for the spring and I had some questions about cleaning the different surfaces on our Journey. I'm set for the hull but the other areas are a little bit of guess work. Those are: -Topside: wax all exterior surfaces, same as hull? -non skid: Wax or no wax...

    Help with installation of aux fuel tank on Journey

    I am considering installing an auxiliary fuel tank on my 2004 Journey. I need the fuel capacity for offshore fishing. Has anyone done this? Do I buy the factory tank from GW or is there a better after market option. Also How difficult is this? Any photos would be greatly appreciated...

    Scupper flap source?

    final solution: I pulled the old scuppers and turns out they were not original, and so they were measuring smaller than the ones in the TH Marine ones. Once I scrapped all the bottom paint from around the fitting, low and behold the THM flappers fit perfectly in there. So as suggested I went...

    Scupper flap source?

    I've seen a few threads on replacing the scupper flaps but none really answered my question. I need 4x flaps for 1.5 inch flaps and I can only find kits that carry two and other sizes I don't need. Has anyone every found a source where you can but just the flap size and quantity you want...

    how does this macerator thing work?

    I will confirm next time I'm on the boat, but I'm 90% sure they were capped off where they ended. I'll see what happens at the deck fitting. It's a snap out plate.

    how does this macerator thing work?

    I finally had some time to poke around the boat today and found that the large hose and small hose the run directly off the head stop abruptly in the second empty deck compartment in the helm. This compartment is accessible via the deck access plate. It's weird. Almost like they were never...

    how does this macerator thing work?

    Ok that makes sense. Thank you so much for helping explain! Think I'll just continue with the policy of "get it done" on shore people!

    how does this macerator thing work?

    That's exactly what I have! Questions: So I have the 1 1/2" hose that goes to a Y valve. If I switch the Y valve to the Macerator pump it looks like it just will end up going out the seacock. So this usage is only if I'm out far enough in the ocean that is legal to do that? The other...

    how does this macerator thing work?

    I'd like to add an image of the system diagram out of the manual but I'm not sure how to do that. From what I can tell the portable head just has a small tank built into the head itself. I don't see anywhere fresh water runs through the system at all. Unless it's like the old head we had...

    how does this macerator thing work?

    On our new 2004 Journey it has a macerator and I'm unfamiliar with how they work and how to winterize them. We've had portable heads on our past boats and were quite happy with those. I'm not really excited about trying to find a pump out service in my area. One thought was can I unplug this...

    Journey cabin sink question

    Thanks Dennis. Once I get to look in there more fully when the boat is out of the water I'll figure out my options! Travis

    Journey cabin sink question

    No hot water on the boat. The faucet is designed in a way that I don't actually see any way to secure the handle. I think I'll probably investigate further the valve option. From what I can see it looks like there are two lines coming off the pump. I assumed one was going to the outside...

    Journey cabin sink question

    We just purchased a 2004 258 and we're thrilled with the boat. It's our first boat with 4 stroke power, and twin outboards!! Amazing. One problem we've had a couple of times is the sink faucet getting pushing to the on position and then when the fresh water pump is turned on for the outside...

    Help, first time buying a new Grady!

    That is a really an interesting point about maneuvering with a single ob. Something to consider for sure. My slip is not too small but could be a problem. Thank you very much!

    Help, first time buying a new Grady!

    I own a 95, 208 but I think we've decided to move up to new 258. A few questions, as I've never purchased a new boat. We live in Brooklyn NY. Any thoughts on the best dealer to trek too. They're all far away. I checked Spellman's but they don't seem to have a boat in stock. How long does...

    !@#$% horn installation

    Well that's exactly what I ended up doing as well. I had to pull the carpet back and using a box cutter slowly cut the stuck together fibers. In the end I only had to make one surgical cut in the headliner to get to the wires. This was in the layer that was going to lay underneath the top...
