My favorite design over the years ended up being the one I dreamed of owning someday and now have....The 252G model. I love the swim platform and bracket as it gives a very large fish box in the transom and close access over the motors when fishing in comparison to the euro transom design. The...

Punchline, my tank holds 202 gallons and is full. It will burn just over 100 gallons my first trip out plus the 3 hour drive each way towing. That is another 40 gallons plus the 2 stroke oil for 2 gallons. One fishing trip at $5.00 per gallon will hit me for $700 in fuel, add the oil and total...

I have the spring in my overhead radio box door and it never fails either. Quick and simple. That is why I was wanting to see the vinyl straps as I though all the radio box doors on the Grady's had these springs. I did have the heavy clear vinyl strap with snap on my cabin door that held it...

I have been getting my gelcoat from Grady in the past when I had lots of restoration work to do. It was perfect match. I have a small section to fix in the next week or two so I just picked up a pint of white from West Marine off the shelf and will try to tint to match as best as I can. If I...

Any pics of these straps with twist locks?

I replaced my round hatch plates with the screw in type from West Marine a couple years ago and have never leaked a drop since. I did have to open up the hole slightly, but that was easy enough. Before this, I had a few gallons get in after every offshore trip. Now I remove the drain plugs on...

I mounted the Vinyl VHF radio holder just inside the cabin door. Can quickly reach it from the helm. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--handheld-vhf-radio-holder-large--8717878?recordNum=1

What am I missing here? If we only take 3% oil from Russia, then how is the gas prices rising so much over such a small amount of impact? Certainly we can make up for it elsewhere if not our own reserves.

I think I finally found a pic on this part. It is actually the float for the pump. Here is a pic and it totally looks like it might have 2 orings that might be the culprit.

Fills are on the transom with hose going down to tanks. No leaks there or around the fitting where it connects the hoses to the tanks. The leak is where I said due to that fitting not sealing anymore. I did reach down and could move them without much effort, so to me, they have either shrunk or...

Haha, Dennis, yeah, they are proud of their bracket system. For sure, a battery tray system would work out as well. I made my own out of some SS threaded rod and Starboard or PVC for my house batteries, sitting on a foam exercise mat for shock absorption and has been the best battery tray. Not...

That is a random picture, not mine. Just showing you the neck that is supposed to be sealed with the fitting. I need to get down in there and check it further. I had planned on pulling them out this down season to clean up and recoat the brackets as I see they are rusting a bit and then I could...

I know my O2 sensors are ready to clean when my cold start idle starts to be below the normal 6-700rpms and instead is 4-500rpms and stumbles until I give it some throttle. Interesting concept though on too much Startron causing too much carbon? When Startron is supposed to help with the carbon...

Hi Seasick, the oil tank I am talking about is the 2.5 gallon installed under the floor panel.

I have a post on here doing what you are looking to do. I removed the lifting ring as well as it is not needed and would just be in the way. I can't recall where it was in regards to the windlass install, but think the windlass installed over it...

LMFAO! It's all in your head.....:D

I switched over to the Attwood LED fixtures for Red/Green and mast light and they are great so far. No more blown bulb issues when I am heading out at 4am.

I use RF and Startron, no issues, still have some carbon issues on the O2 sensors so have to service/clean them annually. FYI....and not to discord Techron....I did switch over to the Marine Techron as I have used Techron in cars for years with great success, but the side affect was I got water...

If you are searching for the trim for windows, try Marine Glass Specialties. I was able to get the window channel for the side windows and that helped a lot with the leaks. I would not recommend caulking the corners where the plastic trim is as that is how the water will flow out when it gets...

I really don't get why removing the tank to reduce weight at the risk of needing fuel, etc. The weight helps with the ride. I have the 52g rear and 150g mid tank for total of 202gallons. I go anywhere from 30 to 60 out, troll all day and run back. In a couple of cases when 40 out, seas/storm...
