I would stick with 17" blades, you will likely not like 19" you will likely get worse fuel economy and a little less speed, its a lot of prop for that boat and isnt needed really, finding the right 17" blade would be the best option. If your venting too much maybe adjust the mounting height...

The boat uses little to no tab typically, she should not lean over unless loaded unevenly, a single tap of the tab will level it, do not hold it to fix the trim or it will make it worse. The boat likes no tab and engines high, if you have a wind off one side and an unevenly loaded boat you might...

Do you possibly have too much oil in the engine? What is the level on the dipstick? It should be between H and L in the middle of the hash marks, not at the Full line, that is too much oil and will leak out of the engine when tilted up, and can also build pressure and cause the engine to bog...

As fishingfinaddict says, pull the draws out in the cabin, easiest access to the pumps, other option is pull the aft portion of the head wall out, it has access plates and is easy to remove but requires being re caulked and is a little more cramped, so your best bet is removing the draws in the...

Call Marine Glass in Florida, they are a sponsor on the site and replaced a port window for us, they have Grady's older window molds and if they do not they can match it off the other one or off a cardboard cut out and match it perfectly, same glass and all. They are top notch and do very good...

There were 2 guys on here last year who played with props, at first the numbers sounded promising, but after looking at my numbers they were only slightly better and would be hard top justify spending the money ti repower. I played around with the idea of doing so anyways this spring but put it...

I was planning to run Wed on my boat but had a tough time getting an experienced crew together last min so I jumped onboard my buddies boat in the marina and set sail at 3am on Tues. We got to the Hudson at 6:30 and set lines in at the E end of the letters, water was 69 degrees and blue/green...

If your not using marine wire that has a plastic covering, I recommend using electrical tape to coat the wires for both abrasion as well as to help them pull through the pipework easier. Also, use a wire pull lubricant, it will help the wires slide easier, pulling wires along other wires in a...

Just wanted to welcome Marine Glass Specialists to the site!! I highly recommend them, there service is excellent!! We had an issue with Grady White Customer Service...or lack there of actually. Last season we had one of our vent windows on our 2002 265 Express open while running and fly...

A single tank would be difficult to install, not that one would fit but the installation would be difficult as both above members mentioned, to have a single tank fit and be installed its likely you will need a smaller single tank to be able to angle it into place unless you plan to cut into the...

You have 2 options, either have a yard remove the fuel, they are more suited for this job and many have tanks that can handle the removed fuel, to do this yourself and contain that much fuel is a big job unless your really meticulous and handy. If you do it yourself...fill smaller gas cans and...

The profish 700 will not use any of the same mounting holes as the typical windlass grady used, its gypsum is on the opposite side, new bolt pattern so it involves a bit of work. The closest model to the one Grady used on your boat is a prosport 550 but it is just a slightly refined model of...

A marine supply store would have it, they will carry or be able to order all size marine hoses.

Always barrier coat a boat, the other alternative is to use a coat of " hard" single season bottom paint below the ablative, not as good but effective to prevent 99% of water logging issues. New boats do not have issues as often, but over time can and likely will develop some seepage into the...

30gal drums are great if only for range, but they remain in the cockpit and take up space the whole trip. If your willing to spend the extra money the bladders are nice and can be rolled and stowed on some boats, either way they open the cockpit up for the remainder of the trip especially if...

Personally I like lee jr's but for a walkaround you need to consider passage forward more then I do. There are some good hardtop mounted outriggers, but spend the extra money for a pair that does not flex much, some flex more then others. As far as length, 18ft or so would be ideal, 16ft min...

Always consume fuel from the bladder first. Best option is a quick disconnect from a T in the line just before the fuel filter or valves if you have 2 tanks. This allows you to draw directly from the bladder using your fuel pumps and it empties the bladder. This alleviates a bladder on deck...

Sounds like owners neglect, engine needs oil every 100 hrs min!! I do mine every 75 hours. If you let it go longer the oil viscosity really breaks down fast and could cause issues. Its possible there were other reasons why this happened but seems out of the ordinary. I have just under 900...

No Grady should have a CAT I!!! They are foam filled and will take a LOT to fully sink, most bob at the surface. A CAT I needs to sink 3 meters, almost 10ft to have the hydrostatic release cut the wire and release it and set it off. If your boat never sinks how will it go off? Plus it makes...

Beautiful fish!! Its very addicting!!! I once thought about how much my offshore gear has cost over the years and cringe haha...its slowly approaching the cost of the boat with the way I'm going. Going to need a bigger boat soon...running out of room for all of the gear we bring!!
