    Local Grady White Dealer will not work on my Outboard

    I read some of those posts on the negativity and they were mostly about stuff such as switches and fuses. Not much about injectors, but your right, like anything aftermarket or from ebay, luck is needed. Just wondering if anyone has tried them on their outboards. I think it would be worth...

    Why does my outboard eat coils?

    Now that I think more on this, when I pulled the stator off the motor, looking down I could see the damage to the black wire. I did have my engine in the shop first time or two and the mechanic never did find this and I saw that it would not be easy to diagnose or see unless he did a resistance...

    Trolling Motor on a 300 Marlin

    Very nice install! So basically, the mount is a flat piece of aluminum to fit, through bolted. Then you can just extend out past the rail and then drop down into the water. No need to modify the rail right?

    Cost for thorough cleaning and ceramic coating interior/exterior 1988 22' Seafarer Cuddy Cabin

    After all the hard work for over a 2 year period when off season, I got my 92's finish looking really nice. I have tried a lot of different products and found that to maintain, I have been using the Shurhold Pro Polish...it seems to last longer than any of the carnuba's. From there I would...

    Why does my outboard eat coils?

    Problems like this I had many many years ago with my OMC Seadrive which is basically a Johnson motor was that my wiring across the motor was bad. I had found a ground wire that crossed over the top of the block, somewhat buried that had over 6 spots that were swollen with corrosion, so the...

    Local Grady White Dealer will not work on my Outboard

    I am curious on injectors...sending out to service vs replacing with new one's from ebay? Here is a set for example for my HPDI 200's. A full set of 6 for $81 bucks? Has anyone tried these and what are your thoughts on using these over servicing the originals...

    Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

    For sure, would not want that to happen! Yikes! Seems one could be made to secure it though that would be secure. Just thinking outloud...... :rolleyes:

    Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

    I wonder, maybe this is a crazy question, but can these motors be stored upright instead of layed down? Use the depth color to store it upright, maybe not when running offshore or in rough water, but for sure when docking?

    Swim Platform Sealant

    I use the GE Silicone II in Almond. For the swim platform, it has a lot of flex and over time, will seperate/crack open. I have just resealed existing and it holds up for about a year. Last time, I switched over to the 3M 4000 UV and it is holding up better so far. The GE Silicone II which is...

    Sailfish 282 Repower to Single?

    I would be worried more about running an inlet when it turns sour. That is a lot of hull in the water to lose the torque of 2 wheels down to just one. Also, I think the resale would drop out if ever concerned with that as if I was looking for a 28 and had a single, I would just keep looking. I...

    Anchor Light

    If I left mine up, it would be gone in 5 minutes due to trees. My radar barely misses most, but that is only due to me driving certain routes that have higher trees. My light pole has to be higher than the radar dome to be seen. My radar is even flush mounted!

    Sailfish 272 Head issues

    Yes, sorry, forgot to mention. I got it from West Marine for the head specifically. I bet it is over 8 years old by now.

    Sailfish 272 Head issues

    Just had the same issue with my Groco HF series manual pump. I ended up purchasing a whole new head, same model as it is a compact series and didn't want to fool with refit. Tested in the water, all good and pumped water. First time use, paper totally clogged up in the bronze pipe, before it...

    Handrails and Rust...... How to address

    I store my caulks in the refrigerator and get at least 6 months out of them. If not, like you said, rock hard in very short order.

    Anchor Light

    I have this same problem with my 252G and also with the antennas. I made a 2x2 piece of lumber and drilled in the end to match up with the design of the knob on the light. I can unscrew the knob with the 2x2, lift the light up and then tighten with the 2x2. I also use this same 2x2 to break...
