I apply a bead on a dry seem. Then I spray it generously with a dawn water mix. Take my finger and wipe off the excess keeping my finger wet with soapy water. Takes a little practice, but if you don’t get it the first time, just wipe it out with a rag and start over. I just did a window. I have...

Absolutely jealous. I went 70 miles offshore to only get to 165 ft of water on Fri. That is gulf water. On the Atlantic side, it drops to 100 ft at 5 miles. 10 miles is about 300 ft. At 30 miles you are in 1800 to 2400 ft. Gulf is so different. lol.

Epoxy is not a bad idea. Maybe a small silicone bead around the light would help. Ge makes great silicone. The white matches Grady color well. I’d run a small bead around and spray it with dawn and water to smooth it out and wipe off excess. I can post the details on how to make the silicone...

That is awesome. I’ve never fished on the west coast. Only Atlantic from South Carolina to keys. I fish sw fla gulf a few times a month. It is great to see the kids having fun.

Water has been better all over fla since COVID-19. Not as much pollution has been key. You are going to have an amazing time. I caught 2 nice blue marlin on Floyd’s wall last year this time. Pm me if you need some inside info when you are down.

You should be out by then. Lol. Get her together an go get some snapper. I went out last Friday in the gulf and we did great.

I have a 1988 24 offshore cuddy cabin. I run it in the swl fla gulf and sometimes run across the ditch to the Bahamas. I have been in some nasty weather and haven’t had a thought about my boat not holding up to the seas. Grady white is the hull to have in rough water. I would recommend the...

Good morning everyone. Life is definitely good. How long is your snapper season last. Ours is til July 25 for the American reds.

The reef has been super clear lately. Diving has been great. Dolphin are running in about 800 ft of water right now and islmorada hump has some tuna in the morning. Tuna like the cedar plug trolled about 8 mph. Look for birds, weeds, and debris. That is where the dolphin are. I usually troll...

Awesome looking fish. They kind of look like the grouper that’s we catch here in fla. How deep do you fish? Is that in the pacific or on a lake?

Just make sure when you are on the bow pulpit, the wind is at your back. As for the kill switch, I think they are useless in a boat like ours. Not sure how we will fall overboard while at the helm of a cabin boat. I disconnected mine so it could never be a problem.

You are in good hands here at great Grady.

https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/lower-unit-is-out.29937/ Check out this earlier thread. Has lots of very useful info for your project.

Just a suggestion. Lower unit is easy to drop. Instead of dragging the boat for many miles, dropping the lower and taking it to a mechanic may be easier. Installing is not hard either. Could also save you some $. Would suggest new complete h20 pump kit, driveshaft seals, and shift seals. New...

A lot of times when mechanics say they changed the water pump, all they changed is the impeller. The plastic housing warps sometimes letting air leaks into the system. The plates and the cups sometimes get sand scratches the wear the impeller out prematurely. Any small grooves in the plate will...

Is the motor getting hot? 3 inches won’t make a difference. Blow compressed ari backwards through the p hole. A small piece of trash can clog it in a heartbeat. The clogged p hole will not stop the engine from cooling correctly. If you see any steam Out the p hole, then the impeller is toast.

Bow lift makes a huge difference in the performance. Yamaha saltwater series 2 was the ticket for mine. Gained 5 mph with the same pitch over non bow lifting props. A lot smoother ride also.

These guys do do a good job. Worth the money.

Wow. 6.5 ft is huge. I’ve never seen one that tall.

Maybe a wire wiggle test will help you. Turn on electronics and start wiggling all the wires at battery, switch, panel etc. see if they interrupt
