Hi all, I have a 2022 GW 235 with the F300 Yamaha. I was wondering how shallow can the boat go. I know it is often dependent on the amount of weight that is on the vessel, but what is the general shallow depth for the vessel? I am thinking of doing some future fishing in shallow water and may...

My head is like seasick described. I do not have a vacuflush system. I assume that you can never eject all fluid from the holding tank, correct? I guess like wahoo mentioned could be done, close off inlet secock and fill bowl with freshwater then open discharge seacock to eject from boat.

Primarily I will be in freshwater, but most likely out in saltwater 5-7 times a year. The GW 235 comes with a 20gal freshwater tank with nozzle and a raw water wash down setup too.

Thanks. I flushed it in a freshwater lake to make sure everything is working. So needless to say, it has been used, but I do not want the lake water to stay in the tank. So are you saying basically while it is on the trailer to close the inlet and the discharge seacocks, take a hose to fill the...

Hi all, ready to use the head for the first time on my new 2022 GW 235 freedom. I want to maintain it being clean without odor. I have a porcelain bowl, electric flush with macerator jabsco. I plan to discharge the tank after each trip properly to the law. What’s the best process to keep the...

I have a 2022 GW freedom 235 with a Yamaha F300. I’m not able to find that in their site. Do you have a link you can share? Thanks.

I have a Freedom 235 and the manual is not really helpful when trying to see the setup of the wiring and plumbing? Has anyone received a detailed service manual?

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone has gotten or no where to get a service manual for a Grady White Freedom 235 that will show you the complete wiring, plumbing, and hull structure diagram. The owner manual does not show this in detail. I called the GW customer service and still waiting for a...

Hello Rocketry, thanks for the info. Do you mind sharing the photos? Yes, the battery would be a tight fit. Did they give you any ideas how they would place the batteries?

When I run my hand on the hull area that’s peeling, it’s rough. All areas around it is smooth.

I was able to take a pic of it if that helps. The strands are the coloring of my hull and not clear. Thanks.

When I took off a thin strip (3/4"x1") of it, the film could be stretched, but becomes brittle and splinter after stretching a little. It doesn't look like shrink wrap. The pieces are on the side of the hull, so not on the edges. It is a mystery to me. I don't necessarily want to polish...

Hello all, I have a new 2022 GW235. I've only taken it out in freshwater three times now. I have cleaned it after each time I've taken it out. I plan to wax and polish it in a couple of months. The other day, I noticed a few hazy looking small film strips peeling off of the hull. It almost...

Thanks for the advice! Someone mentioned using a remote for the windlass. Do any of you have a preference on which wireless remote for the lewmar windlass is easy to install and works well?

Yes, I have 3 plait rode currently. Probably will go to 8 plait later, but trying to use the 3 plait until it's mostly worn since it is new. Has anyone also used any type of tape or way to mark the rode so that you know how much you have used and still safely go through the windlass? I was...

I have heard of a guide pipe where the rode comes into the locker from the top o help guide, but not sure if that would help. Anyone used or made a small rode guide? If so, does it really help?

Yes, I have a swivel in between anchor and chain.

Hello all, I have a new GW 235 with windlass and experienced some jamming of the anchor rode rope when letting anchoring. Do anyone have any suggestions in how to eliminate the jamming in the windlass and tangling in the box? I’ve let it all the way out and let it come back in, but still get...

The Rhodans seem like a trusted brand as well, with definitely an option of a long enough shaft. I’ll give this some thought. The only concern is how smoothly will it work with Garmin instruments. Wish the Garmin Force came in longer shaft options. Thanks!

Thanks Mustang for the video! This is helpful in seeing what it looks like and where they placed it. The ™ doesn't really take much room on the bow when it is stored, so you can still utilize that space. The boat is well taken care of and very clean too! The minn Kota TM seems to have a...
