I agree, there is nothing to stress about. I am in NC, so we do get cold and hot temps here even during the winter. We recently went from the 20s one day, straight up to the 60s for a couple of days, then back down to frigid cold. This can be typical of our winter here in the piedmont. I run...

Ron, thanks for posting the link. I hadn't read that one, but it is similar to others I have read. This article is perhaps more detailed. I sit behind a desk 5 days a week, so I am by no means an expert on this stuff. I have been fixing up my 192 tournament for 2 years now, and I try to use the...

I didn't make this up, guys. Do a google search on the subject. I found an article in Boaters Magazine and other publications just now with a cursory search. I would post a link, but I am not a computer guy. Google search it and you will find articles on this. You do NOT just stick a piece of...

Guys, thank you for the responses. I am aware of the oversized flange nut that holds the thru hull in place. I just always assumed that proper installation required one to place a piece of wood (with hole, of course) between the hull and the flange nut. I guess this is overkill for above...

Interesting. I guess they have lasted this long without any backing plate. I removed them today, so this will make my install easer. I suspect I will reinstall the new stainless ones without a backing. That will save me some time and effort. Many thanks for the advice!!

Time to start another thread about paint colors and boat names, just to mess with Seasick's head. :mrgreen:

Dennis, these are all above the water line. They are the drains for the cooler/live well and also the exit port for the bilge pump. Again, all are above the water line. Having said that, I always just assumed one would install with a backing plate. I am quite certain they are original to the boat.

So, I am replacing all of my thru hulls on a 1994 192 Tournament and noticed that none of them have a wood backing plate. The inner nut is threaded straight against the fiberglass on the inside of the hull. They are the original Perko thru hulls. Any idea why Grady did it this way? I am...

I hear you, Dennis. Our boats are 3 years apart, so I suspect it will be the same supplier. But point taken! I will email Grady before I order 3 of these things and risk throwing away 20 bucks, plus shipping.

I was admiring the block setup as well. Don't have a square dance on board! Very nice boat, indeed. She will serve you well. Gas will not be cheap, but it never is these days. I have a 192 Tournament that has, I believe, a 60 gallon tank. love being out on the water, but the fill up hurts...

sweet! I will be ordering some online. I think I need 3 of them, 5 if the ones above the bilge at the stern are the same size and make. Thank you for chasing the manufacturer down. Makes replacing super easy. :D

GWT192, I am looking to replace all of mine on a 1994 192 Tournament. There must be a source out there for these seals. Doesn't make much sense to have to swap out the entire outer ring and plate. Anyone??

I would also like to hear some responses. I have a 192 tournament with a 200 hp evinrude 2 stroke. I am getting 5000 rpm at WOT, with the motor trimmed up. The boat is new to me - 1 season. I have the evinrude shop manual, so I know RPM should be 5100 to 5500. I suspect I need to adjust the...

Onoahimahi, Thanks for posting the thread from THT. Read it from start to finish last night and got a great laugh. some of the responses were very entertaining. So far, I have had no complaints, but I do run her during the day only. If I get back later from a trip I normally wait until the...

I have always been interested in this , but have been reluctant due to the soot produced by my 200hp 2 stroke, circa 1994. Does anyone have thoughts on this? I would like to run it in a tub to cut down on noise, but I fear it will cause a cleaning nightmare. It is an Evinrude Ocean Pro, so the...
