Well, I'll be flush mounting new electronics and moving the Furuno radar....I'll also be flush mounting the guages on starboard, so I'll have to remove all those and make sure the connections are good. What I don't want to do right now is pull new wire through the entire boat...just...

Thanks for checking. That is the size I think Yamaha/grady recommends on the boat. I may buy one..... On your bracket - what did you do with the motorwell scupper that the bracket covered? Pete

Nice boat! Same year, model and motor as mine! Mine is not in as good a condition though.... I'll have mine here at home on March 12th. I got Danny at grady to send me the specs for the bracket and am having it fabbed up right now. Looks like I may need to use spacer as well then...oh...

If you are keeping your boat in the water, no question - zinc the tabs. Here is my new to me Voyager that sat in the brine and did not have zinc on the tabs: I'll be replacing these very soon..... In my mind, no reason not to put zinc on them. I see tons of boats in my neck...

Thats not to say I wouldn't mind going 44 mph sometimes....just not many chances to out here. ..... I'm looking for a nice used Saltwater Series II 17M...

Thanks for the reply - that is the info I was looking for. How is your hole shot? I'm mostly concerned with low end and mid-range power...less concerned about going 40 MPH......

Thanks BC - I am having a hard time getting a definitve answer....I'm going to call suzuki customer service tommorow and hopefully they'll let me know...... If it works...I may just take you up on your offer. Are you in BC? Whereabouts? I'm in Bellingham, WA. Pete

bc282 - thanks....I need it this month (well, March)....the kicker is getting rigged the week of the 15th...... Still haven't figured out if this will work or not....

Also - if my budget can allow for a new proper size/pitch stainless, is it better to go with the correct size/pitch alumnium or keep the current stainless on? My thought is, I'd rather have the right prop in aluminum than a poorly performing stainless one.....

Ok - I know I've posted alot of different questions here...but I've got a new boat coming and am trying to budget what I need to do to it. I think it is underpropped. Power is a 1997 250 OX66 EFI. Prop is an "Apollo XHS" 4 blade stainless. Size is 14 5/8 x 16. From what I've...

Thanks everyone for responding. Ron...your boat turned out great. My boat is on a bunk trailer, and will be on and off it every time I use it...so not just a few times a year. The previous bottom paint was put on by its first owner (I am now the third owner....the last owner had the boat...

I've searched, but not found an answer... My GW 248 has old bottom paint...in its previous life, it was kept in a slip...now its being kept on a trailer. It looks like crap though and I want to re-paint the bottom black.... What should I use? Do I need to sand the existing bottom paint...

Yes, I like their stuff...including their battery switches....which I'm going to upgrade to-- they charge both house and start regardless of what your switch is on...... I'll post pics as she gets cleaned up!

So, here are two pictures from my new Grady 248 (1997) - one is from under the helm console and the other is from inside the electronics box. I want to replace the old glass fuse panel with something new, and organize the wires. I also want to add a bigger bus bar. What is a good...

That is a perfect fit....you are lucky!

I'm excited about the Raymarine - my buddy has a C120 classic on his boat and its a great piece of equipment. I had the option of replacing the Furuno Navnet 7" w/ a NavNet VX2 radar/plotter for $1200 or get a whole new Raymarine plotter/sounder with ability to upgrade to HD radar in the future...

Pez Vela - Thanks....I'm really excited. I purchased a Raymarine C90W-- from getfeetwet.com....they are great to deal with! Anyhow, the C90W is teh only model I can fit in there without too much modification....I'm going to do a flushmount. I'll try to fit the furuno in the console, but...

Have you considered Raymarine? Their new C series wide units are great. And, despite rumors, they are not going out of business. I just bought a C90W GPS/sounder package at a screaming price.. I have separate furuno Radar, but the C90W is compatible with Raymarine's Digital Radomes so...

I need suggestions on how to deal with removing some older and somewhat corroded (but still quite usable) trim tabs, and reinstalling them. OR, perhaps you have a suggesion on how to check them. The boat previously sat in the salt....so there is some galvanic corrosion. The purpose of...

I just went through the same debate......and read alot on this forum about it... My only caveat here is that I've not been out in a gulfie...but from everything I hear, they are awesome. There are alot of threads on the pros-cons. The Gulfie, IMHO, is the most boat for the...
