    Yamaha Extended Warranty question

    I'm assuming you have Yammi's. If that's the case, the warranty has to be transferred bhy a Yammi servicing dealer. Some dealers charge a fee, some do not, some require an inspection, some do not. Since your deal was brokered by a dealer, I would press them to transfer the warranty. This is...

    These? http://www.dualpro.com/new/se4.html http://www.islandmarineelectronics.com/ ... rose4.html http://www.boatersland.com/min1824600.html As info, I believe the dualpro is the same that is re-labeled for Ranger Boats.

    Fuel managment with twin tanks

    On my Marlin, I always ran starboard on one tank and port on the other. An empty tank (either main or auxiliary) had no noticeable effect on ride or performance. The fact is, you're always trimming the boat for sea conditions anyway. By running separate tanks, you wouldn't share contaminated...

    So Here's a Funny One....

    Unless the stain was created by really bad stuff, the dealer should be able to deal with it. Is the dealer aware that the stain was present when the boat was delivered? I would think that the dealer would work with you on the bottom paint. Most of the time they have left over paint around...

    So Here's a Funny One....

    Having bought 4 new boats in 5 years, you're tale isn't new, even to Grady. I think a noticeable stain would pizz me off as much as anything. The free flow through the livewell is normal while running with the seacock open. Water sensor is likely a Yammi deal, easy to correct. Bottom paint...

    Outrigger locks? Required or not

    The typical Lee Jr would have a wishbone as you described in the lower section with a T-handle that would tighten against the main mast. In the lower section there is also a second latch that would lock in the rigger when in the raised position. The rigger would raise into a slot and a flat...

    Marlin 300 - Leaky Deck Drawer = Water in Forward Keel Area

    Washdown and spray (including wet anchor line) enter the forward bilge through the anchor locker. If you're in a heavy sea, it's almost impossible to prevent this.

    New to Boating ; Safety Question

    Your first trip - what a great way to take posession on your new boat! There's no fun in having it hauled. If you have the time to avoid any troublesome weather, search out an experienced Grady (or other twin motor) owner and go for a ride, getting lessons along the way! I'm recooperating...

    Pumping generator diesel on a 360?

    Were you at a high speed nozzle? (Large diameter for fast-filling larger vessels) If that's the case, a funnel may be the answer account it's hard to control the flow of those big babies. If it is a normal size nozzle, try fueling slowly and gradually increasing flow. You might also want to...

    I AM ASSUMING YOU ARE GETTING A GOOD FLOW FROM YOUR SEA WATER OUTLET AND YOUR STRAINER IS CLEAR! you can get a HPS error for various reasons, including low freon and freezing of the coil caused by high humidity. First, let the AC thaw completely. Then crank it up for AC and see how it works...

    Back From Cardiac Surgery

    Richard, I'm envious and not doing too badly myself. Night 1 at home was horrendous as I slept thru a med (I slept good though) and woke to a sea of rib pain. You're right about the temp swings - I found the thermometer didn''t always follow the sensation of cold or hot...interesting. This is...

    Drilling the big hole hurt my feelings!!!!!!!!!

    You don't have to worry about hull strength with the thickness down there. Just make sure YOUR HULL and ambient air is at proper cure temp at the time of installation and will remain that way throughout the cure. You may want to construct a simple tent that covers the boat in that area and run...
