    Pic would narrow that down.

    Upholstery repair?

    If it is just a normal, flat cushion, with a top, bottom, and gusset, any marine, auto, or furniture upholsterer should be able to restitch it. And they all do welted seams. His chances are even better if he takes the cushion out, and just brings them the cover. If it’s more complicated, like a...

    10 rod Rocket Launcher,

    I think your best bet is to post it on downeast, trawler, and sportfish forums, and hope for a match. It is a unique mounting arrangement. $800, or best offer, would be a good deal for someone who didn't have to modify it.

    Extra Bolster Fabric?

    A couple of tips: Buy a good electric stapler , or pneumatic if you have a compressor. Any walk-in fabric store will sell you fractions of a yard, like 2 1/3, not sure about on line. If you use phifertex mesh, staple it first, to keep the seam just under the bottom curve of the bolster. Buy a...

    Can anyone help me find Grady White decals

    Just google custom boat decals. I'm sure a lot of those companies have GW decals in their software, at a fraction of the cost of OEM.

    Non Grady member, guilt?

    The dog hates cats, but we were only dog-sitting while our daughter was out of the country. Once I thought that she was actually studying the picture, trying to figure out if she should be upset.

    Adding a Windless Anchor

    I typically anchor in 30 feet or less, minimum scope. I have always used older Simpson Lawrence/Lewmar windlasses, run off a normal starting battery with the engine running, two #6 wires through a helm mounted circuit breaker, and an up/down switch. I never had one of the newer ones with the...

    Adding a Windless Anchor

    The right roller is all you need. This was self-launching, shorter, and easier to deal with than the Seafarer pulpit.

    Non Grady member, guilt?

    Since Seasick started a new post, maybe it's alright to side track this one a little. My new-to-me cat, so now my user name makes sense again. Larry Graf trailered a '94 prototype 22'er to the east coast, and demo'ed it to dealers, and then one of them sold the first Glacier Bay on the east...

    Increasing Rod Storage

    If you have that many rods on board, chances are that you are only using half of them at one time. Nothing beats a rocket launcher to get rods out of the way. Get as many as will fit across the back of the hard top, and don't tilt them any more than 15*, or you will catch one when casting from...

    What is this thing I found on my boat?

    May not have been on your boat. We tend to collect things, I have 2 or 3 of those in my garage.

    Non Grady member, guilt?

    I did the same thing in September, for some of the same reasons, mainly the walk around at age 75. Sold my Seafarer, and bought a Glacier Bay 2640 Renegade DC.

    What is this thing I found on my boat?

    Upside down. 2 knives in the rear slot, needle nose pliars in the front slot and the hole below. Rigs hang in the 4 holes by their hook.

    Gunnel Modification

    Don’t know about other brands, but with Penn, the handle is for up only. You drop the ball by loosening the drag knob on the center of the reel, tighten it as you approach depth. You want it tight enough to hold the ball at the correct depth, but not so tight that you can’t easily turn it with...

    Which 0X66 is the good 0X66?

    When I first got my OX66, it occasionally fouled plugs with Yamalube. Switched to Pennzoil XLF with good results, and less smoke. About $17/gal...
