    Engine trim with batteries off?

    Weird....sounds like the dealership screwed it up on install, then tried to play it off like they intended to do that. By dealership, do you mean GW or the Suzuki shop? I assume with Zukes that means you have repowered your boat recently.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    On my new, 2023 Grady the trim does not work with the batteries turned off. Nothing works except the auto bilge.

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    Or jetskis? I assume they could make a jetski prop based on the same principles.

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    And the fact that it appears that nobody on any boating forums has one, or even knows anyone who has one, kind of shows that everyone is very skeptical of their product. I can see this as a potential game-changer in boat racing if they can get even half the performance gains they claim, but...

    Pop-out gunwale step

    I just ended up getting a nice Yeti cooler that fits perfectly right there. Just the right height to use as a step. Put a SeaDek pad on top for non-slip.

    I wish mine came with that.

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    Funny thing is even though that threads is quite long, I don't think a single person on it has a Sharrow or even knows anyone with one. So who has been buying these things? I mean, the biggest boat forum on the planet and nobody has ever seen one of these props for real???

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    There are threads here and on The Hull Tuth on Sharrow props. Seems that nobody has one. Not sure how they stay in business. At $5K each they will never catch on, even if the performance claims are accurate.

    Get the upgrade passenger seat with the power sliding feature. Way better than the standard flat seat with movable backrest. The auto rear sunshade is also highly recommended.

    SeaDek

    The sliding seat has teflon tabs on the bottom that it slides on. Seadek works just fine. They just cut two grooves for the tabs to slide through. Here's the diagram of my Seadek.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    You can get a LOT of boat for $1M. Would never spend that much on a bowrider.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    I love Grady, but $1M for a 37 foot boat seems absolutely absurd.

    Sharrow Props

    I think the main issue with the Sharrow is the price. It's so far out of line with what even expensive regular props cost that it's just not going to be a viable option for the average consumer. I believe it is superior to a basic prop, but is it necessary? Ever seen Navy submarines in...

    Sharrow Props

    I only mentioned the CAI because it's another "revolutionary" bolt-on product that makes lots of unsubstantiated claims of performance improvements with questionable real-world evidence. The part where nobody on the boat forums has actually seen one in person should give everyone pause...

    Sharrow Props

    Yeah, really seems that their main market would be professional racing or heavy-duty charters....people who really need to maximize performance on a daily basis. Those of us who just like to cruise the sand bars or do a little personal fishing on the weekends really don't need 10% better...

    Sharrow Props

    Seems like the boat version of a cold air intake. Lots of dubious performance promises. Just a LOT more expensive. They have been around for a while and it doesn't seem like they are catching on with boaters. That price point is really hard to stomach. Does anyone here know anyone who has...

    New Yamaha color ?

    That would make me nervous. I'd make sure that is in writing somewhere.

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    They wanted about $4500 to do it, but I negotiated them throwing it in free as part of the sale.

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    MarineMax painted mine with the matching Grady white color. I don't think Yamaha offers them stock with that color.
