Here is a picture from another Grady. I have the same compass in the same location. See attached picture.

It looks just like the one on your dash. A speaker might work but I still think there is something more useful out there.

Thanks Chris. Unfortunately, the compass is mounted perpendicular to the waterline so a cop holder will not work.

What can?

I have been boating for over 50 years and hold a 100 Ton Master's License. I am aware of the safety aspect. Just looking for an alternative.

I have this compass on my Freedom 285. I do not use it and would prefer to put something else in the dash where it is mounted. Has anyone done this or do you have a suggestion for a suitable alternative piece of electronics to place there. I do not want to fuss with expanding the hole of curing...

I scuffed the top of my windshield frame on a low bridge. As a result, the bottom of the frame where it attaches to the fiberglass lifted a bit exposing part of a screw. How do I access the bottom of the frame to address the lifted screw? While the actual damage is minimal, I would like to drive...

Under and behind the helm unit.

I have a 285 and love it. Twin 300 Yammies. Fast and large. Could not be happier. Minor complaint. Some of the hardware could be better quality stainless. It rusts. But, with that said, great boat.

I have the same boat. I have replaced the batteries myself. Not fun but doable. I originally had AM batteries. They did not last vs. the increased price. I replaced them with regular flooded acid batteries. I use Exides.

Found it. Near the wiper motor behind a panel.

I need to know where Grady put this antenna on my 2013 Grady Freedom 285. I have removed the hardtop for other reasons so the antenna is mounted elsewhere not in sight. I know it needs a clear view of the sky but before I start taking the boat apart, I am hoping someone knows here Grady put this...

The decorative stainless nut on my three spoke steering wheel is damaged. Does anyone know what size or make it is? I need to replace it. Thanks.

Here is a general lesson I have learned while boating for more than 50 years. Never go boating for enjoyment if the weather is worsening. Since boating is supposed to be fun, why worry about racing bad weather.

I need to run a wire from the port side where the fusion radio is located under the helm. I do not want to have to run it all around the aft side and up the starboard side. Does anyone know where a wire chase is to go from the port side midship to the starboard side under the helm?

Not at all. I am 68 and have a 100 ton Master Captain's license. I took my Freedom 285 from the south shore of Long Island to and from Mallets Bay Vermont. It's a great boat as long as you watch your weather. I do have an autopilot and would not want to hand steer for long trip.

Thanks all. I do not operate the boat at all with the engines off when not plugged in to power. Sounds like I'll stick with what I have for now.

I have a 2013 Grady Freedom 285. It has twin Yamaha F300's. I also have a battery charger used when I plug in to dockside electric. However, I only have two batteries. Both are dual purpose and I have never really had an issue with not having enough juice for all of my electronics. Does it seem...
