    Livewell/washdown pump question.

    1993 209 Escape. Pump is original I believe. Getting noisy, washdown pressure has dropped. (I will pull the inline strainer and check it after the storm passes.) Y-valve used to switch from livewell to washdown. I have a new Johnson Aqua Jet WD 5.0 gpm max pressure of 70psi. Is this a...

    Steering wheel cap replacement

    Local West Marine still has not heard back from HQ with a part number, price, or availability. Any way you might be able to get WM part number or some info from your special order invoice for me?

    Steering wheel cap replacement

    I went into WM today. They couldn't find it in their catalog, nor computer. Had to do a special request order. Is that what you did? Even with the Atwood part number, they needed a WM number. Supposed to call me back when they get the info from HQ....

    Thru hull dimensions

    Bronze has an even better track record... Chromed bronze looks better IMHO. Look at your fuel vent for reference.

    thru hull replacements

    Once you have determined access from inside, so that you can tighten the inside nut, removing the old plastic ones is easy. Stick a thick screw driver or the handle of a channel lock in the thru hull from outside and it will snap as you torque it from side to side. Much easier than trying to...

    Need footrest on center cosole

    Thanks for the reply. I've come to think maybe I could build a box of teak or mahogany, custom fit to the width of the console. That way I could get the height and angle exactly how I want it. I would be mounting it in front of a storage access door which hinges from the bottom. So I am...

    Need footrest on center cosole

    1993 Escape 209 Leaning post/tackle option. I moved the unit aft one inch to make passing between it and wheel easier. But now my short legs have nothing to rest against when I get up on the leaning post. (not that the post is deep enough anyway, so you need the foot rest to brace yourself)...

    How did you start?

    Since I assume you are near the North Shore, check out the Power Squadron class starting in Marblehead this month. If you get the Gulfstream, find someone to familiarize you with the boat and what it can do. Maybe the previous owner, referal from broker, or a captain. What you need to get them...

    Gas gage

    Same here. Drives me nuts. Where do I contact Grady for a fuel tank diagram, and to see if this is a ecurring problem in the Escape? Does anyone from Grady ever identify themselves and chime in on the forums?

    Fuel Sender Question

    Good topic. I have a 1993 Escape with Yamaha 200. All Yamaha dash. I don't trust the gauge either. I will attempt to contact Grady, but let me know what you guys hear as well. Does anyone from Grady ever respond here???? What does a Floscan go for?
