    Grady-drive engine spacing?

    Not sure about Gil Marine, but the 26" centers is correct. Had to chip some of the epoxy coating off of the bracket and etch, prime and paint mine this weekend to get it ready for the repower.

    Yamaha Rebuild Options

    Looking for some advice on options. One of our 93 200's had rings come apart on one cylinder most likely due to a leaking head gasket. There is some damage to the cylinder wall which will require a sleeve to be installed. The piston will have to be replaced since there is a nick or groove on...

    Finally finished

    Yep. Me too. Trying to decide on a repower for our 93 Sailfish or going with rebuild on one of the motors. Suzukis are still heavier than 2S HPDIs. This boat doesnt look like it sits heavier in the stern than mine right now. Would be interested in the handling and fuel economy #s.

    Starter Issues?

    Take off your engine cover and then the plastic cover over the flywheel and check the postion of your starter bendix (gear that engages the flywheel). If it is up right now, you can rotate it back down using your fingers. Then try your key again to see if it pops back up. If its tight, spray...

    alarm problem on a yamaha

    Our starboard motor just did the same thing couple of weeks ago. It was the tilt sensor up under the bracket that was stuck (system thought the motor was trimmed full up). This will not allow the pump in the resevoir tank to send oil up to the motor resevoir. Ordered a new sensor and...

    flowscan installation?

    We installed the FloScan 9000 on our 93 with twin Yamaha 2 strokes. What model of FloScan did you have? Ours picks up hot feed for the ignition, two tach leads, one lead for the dash lights, the leads for the data to the GPS, and finally the leads from the fuel sensors and ground. Its a bunch...

    New Dealership in Central Florida

    I hadn't heard that yet. Hopefully they will share some GWs with their sister lot in Orlando. I have to drive by the Orlando dealership everyday and it would be nice to see some new Gradys sitting on the lot. Plus being a bigger dealer may help us get some dealer supported/Grady type...

    led cockpit lights

    I believe you will have to replace the whole unit as in unscrew the bezel and lamp holder and lense from your step, cut the wires or unclip the leads and put in the new LED head unit and screw it back down (don't forget to seal around the assembly to prevent water intrusion). The LED ones I...

    Towing Sailfish 272 with a D-max

    06 Duramax/Allison Crew Cab Shortbed 4x4 with the 3:73 rears and two sizes larger than stock Michelin LTX E rated radials inflated to the rated max pressure. Towing our 93 Sailfish with full fuel, gear, 2-4 people in the cab, my all time best is tight at 10-11 mpg @ 65 mph. If I tow at greater...

    Update on cabin rod-racks.

    Got mine. They look great. Hopefully I will get a chance this weekend to get over to the boat and fit them up. I was going to hinge them, but now that I think about it, there will always be rods on them except for times when they are out back doing the work. Thanks again Capt. Bill and...
