IMO, and the way I do it.... Since it is a known fact that Ethanol gas does NOT store well long-term and is prone to phase separation, why take a chance with full tanks? Run your tanks as close to empty as you can get them. Dump in double the amount of Startron and Stabil as recommended and put...

Sounds like there is a blockage of some sort in the fuel lines or the pick-ups coming from the main tank.... First thing I'd do (unless your recently already did) is install new filters and primer bulbs on your lines. Then, (if that doesn't help) in order to be SURE it is related to the fuel...

Atta boy, do the upgrades and keep the older Great Gradys running! :) IMO, you need to go with twins on that hull. (which is the same hull as my Trophy Pro) I'm sure you will be under-powered with only 300 HP...I used to have twin 175's and it was barely adequate. If you want to save some...

LOVE my Garmin GHC-10. Best upgrade I've added to the boat! https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/digital/p/13189 https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/digital/p/13192

Congrats on your new boat! What inlet do you sail out of? Only advice I'd like to give you is that if the existing 2001 electronics are shot, invest some money in new state of the art systems. The differences are night and day. If you do go for new, I would recommend Garmin. Easy to use...

If the boat is on a trailer or up on blocks, stand on the Cav plate and bounce up and down with all your weight on the motor. If you see or can feel the transom flexing, the transom will probably need to be rebuilt. Visually inspect the hull closely for cracks and tap the hull all around every...

Hi MJD A couple of questions to ask yourself before spending the money on a new motor... How many hours on that motor? Over 1500? I'd start looking to re-power. Do you and your family worry that the old motor might not get you back home every time you leave the dock? If YES you are losing the...

And the Etec G2 200 2.7L TRAC models without the power steering (which is what I have) weigh 30 lbs less per motor (under 500 lbs), AND utilize the tried-and-true Evinrude mid-section with your existing Sea-Star steering. These models are otherwise exactly the same as the other G2's inculding...

Yep. Off with the old, on with the new and see the difference! Better ride, quicker up to plane, better fuel efficiency and higher scuppers. Don't forget when you recycle the old bracket at your local scrap yard you will get back a bit of money too. (How much does the old bracket weigh? Maybe...

For a pic of the bracket from the rear, see the posting #11 in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13464&hilit=finest+kind Can't answer regarding the weight of the fiberglass bracket vs aluminum, but I'm sure Hermco, Dusky and/or Armstrong can get you that data.

Yes, the waters around Bimini are gin-clear and very beautiful, the Island offers lots of fun, the Fishing is GREAT, but it IS VERY Sharky! Last year when we made the crossing my Son got surprised by a HUGE Hammerhead that was closely following him while he was snorkeling and hunting for...

Pricing will depend on your negotiating skills and the competitive situation with your dealers. Get quotes from at least 3 and go back to each and show them the lowest. Do business with the dealer with the best reputation for service, as long as he is in the ballpark with the others. I'm sure...

Another option when you shop around for the flotation bracket: http://www.dusky.com/parts/outboard-brackets One of my Fishing Buddys had a 22 Seafarer, and we never cancelled a trip due to weather unless it was so bad that all the boats under 40 feet were not going out either. (we fish in the...

Congrats on your purchase, restore it, customize it and make her yours. An old Grady is like a woman, treat her right and she will give you lots of pleasure. Neglect her and she will ruin you. If you are going to install a bracket, look into the Hermco fiberglass flotation bracket. I've had...

...or (assuming your boat is out of the water and up on a trailer) disconnect the outlet of the fuel primer bulb from your outboard motor, attach a long hose to the bulb's outlet and run it down into a suitable container on the ground. Then simply pump up the bulb and and siphon out the gas...

$130K+ after taxes all in? Well, new IS nice...but it's a tough decision because for a fraction of that cost you can upgrade your current boat with: New state of the art motor(s) (convert to twins if you want) All new digital controls a new enclosed transom with new bracket designed for single...

Looks like Hermo IS still in business, they just changed their web address. Pricing and info here: http://www.hermco.net/
