:uhm Carefully pry up the black plastic trim strip at the outside base of the windshield (same for all 4 panels), you have loose screws. I ended up drilling new holes to insure maximum tightness ...

I don't know why Grady don't use this set up, They did for a long time, except they used a crappy plastic 'Y' valve. That's why I plumbed my own 225G ... :wink:

You have a significant draw if you kill an AGM in 2-3 weeks. I'd start with the audio system, I've never known a Garmin or VHF to have a current draw when 'off', I'm pretty sure they have a CMOS. Backyard way of checking for a current draw, remove a battery cable in the dark and look for the...

Here's what I used when I replaced my plumbing. Mine was on a T-22, so you'd have to determine if you had enough space and access - ball valve attached to the thru hull scoop, hose to a Surflo Pro Baitmaster pump, plumbed to the valve shown below, plumbed to both baitwell and washdown fittings...

Call Grady and ask for a 'build sheet' on your boat. Should give you fitting sizes and vendor. I do know many vendors for older boats are TU, but replacements are available for just about anything. Now, drain fittings for storage boxes might be another matter, and you might have to improvise...

Any seacock will be in the stern, and accessible ...

Go to the Grady site, Customer Service, and surf up the sales brochure for 1995 for specs. My main concern would be plastic thru hulls and the condition of gas tanks. The motors should be of little concern, that boat if weight forward ...

Denotes a closed transom and outboard bracket ... :wink:

Can't help you with the 740S, but you won't know if you didn't really need the bigger transducer. You would if you needed it but didn't get it ... :wink:

:uhm If you're going deeper than 150' and/or want a good reading at speed, consider a stronger transducer ...

I had this done, expanding the vertical plate wasn't going to gain much more access, particularly lower down. I'll have to seal the new plate, but it won't be used very often so that's OK ... :wink:

Finally decided it was time to replace the remaining plastic thru hulls/scuppers. '86 Tournament 225, with livewell/ aerated baitwell option. Did the forward ones 5 years ago, so this project involved the rear port/starboard drains and the rear scuppers. I knew the OEM box and floor drains were...

for comparison basis use about 10% of the value of the boat in yearly cost to operate. :wow Wow, I'm getting ripped off! Comparison basis to what?

:uhm As a rule of thumb, optimum position is where the plate above the props (some call it cavitation, the anal swear by ventilation) is just above water level when at cruising speed. Performance might be OK if you raise one hole past there, but probably won't be as good if lowered into the...

Wire and switch so each battery (however many) can start either engine, and can also be paralleled to start either. There are numerous ways ... :wink:

I believe Grady would be the unequivocal source for this information, and I would be stunned if your information was correct (nothing personal, you were told what you were told). Aside from 92's being SeaV2, boat HINs are like vehicle VINs and can't just be swapped around. Let us know what you...

:uhm If the fluid wasn't milky (motor used recently) and no water came out first when you cracked the plug, then you don't have any water. What does your manufacturer say about frequency of change? I'll bet it's at least annually, and it's pretty cheap when you do it yourself ...

:uhm Isn't a 'vista top' the same as a bimini with curtains? Hard to mount riggers there, might want to look at gunnel mounts ...

Find out the max recommended horsepower, determine the nearest lower 2 stroke HP actually manufactured in 1984, then go down one size. That's where I've found the optimum HP on a number of boats I've owned, not over-powered but always enough ... :?

:uhm Yes, to both. Be advised, there will be significant transverse torque on the rod holder with anything but the lightest ball ...
