On your wheel, the large chrome nut will unscrew. Just turn it counter clockwise with an appropriate wrench. I would also make sure you wrap the chrome with a rag or something so it does not scratch. Once the nut is off, you will probably need a wheel puller to get the wheel off. I purchased...

So let me get this straight. You were drying a 20 dollar pair of sneakers under the hood of a 50k car, and forgot to remove them when you took the car for a spin. Two questions. Were you on a beer run? And are you still with your wife? So I guess the shoes went into the cooling fan?? Dang...

Will do. Been doing lots of little projects on her this winter. She got a new Blue Seas fuse panel, repainted the SeaStar helm that was totally shot, had the Evinrude cowling and lower cowling skirts painted at a body shop, and am now doing new Lowrance electronics.

Gotcha. I saw some scuppers on Ebay, 11 bucks for a pair. I may take the risk and see if they work. I like the idea of stainless or chrome coated outer rings. That would look nice. I trailer my boat, so I wouldn't be too worried about corossion. I have replaced my thru hulls with Perko chrome...

192, I have the same boat. I see that you have your scupper flaps removed to be replaced. Where did you order the replacements from? I would like to replace mine and would love to know where you sourced yours from and the part numbers, if you know. Also, did you order the teak and have it...

Who does that? There is no way the wife would let me name a boat along these lines. Plus, I couldn't see myself hailing anybody with this is the Duck Fart. Man. I need to google search the worst boat names just to see what kind of crazy stuff is out there.

Did you all read the entire thread?? As DennisG predicted, the motor shaft was too short for the transom on the boat. Don't know how he suspected that one, but he hit it. :hmm

Got it. Thanks DennisG and others! Greatly appreciate the help.

Many thanks for the replies and input. This has been very helpful. I have no more than a 30 foot run total, so I will go with the 18 gauge wire and 5 amp fuse. Is there any way to run the lights into my Blue Seas fuse panel for power and grounding, then have it splice off to the accessory...

I would appreciate some advice on wiring LEDs up under the Gunnels of my 192 Tournament. I have searched online, but can't find the answer to my questions. I plan on wiring them to my accessory switch at the helm. The Grady manual for my year (1994) states that the accessory switch breaker is...

I use the Taylor Made guards just like the white ones tied to the dock in the second photo. They inflate and are shaped like a long cylinder (or fat sausage :D ). I have a 20 foot Grady and use 3 of them, which is probably overkill. One at the stern cleat, 1 tied mid ship to my toe rail...

Great news. You may need to head to Autozone for a wheel puller. You can purchase one for about 14 bucks. I could not get mine off without the puller. It was a snap once I got the tool. :)

I agree with Doc that this is the bezel for the helm pump. However, I would suggest looking to the manufacturer of the helm pump, as opposed to Grady. I would be willing to bet that you have a Teleflex SeaStar helm or other type of Teleflex hydraulic helm (perhaps the BayStar). In any event...

The chains are holding the top part of the device to the bottom plate (or at least adding extra tension) They tuck under the corners of that bottom plate, and one of the chains has come loose. Don't know what it is. Transducer into S&M? :mrgreen: What about tracing the power source? Just a...

You could use Ultratite by Southwire . You may have to order it from Amazon or Ebay for larger diameter sizes, or perhaps get it from an electrical outlet as opposed to the big box stores. Product is flexible and can withstand wet environments. I think you can even bury the stuff.

I have lost faith in people taking pride in their work these days. The fact that the lift operators did this THREE times is just beyond me. They either don't give a crap, or they are just too ignorant to realize what they are doing to your boat. Either way, isn't it time to have a come to...

Can you go see the boat in person easily? Seriously, I would consider doing this if you can before spending the money to have it surveyed. If you can go see the boat, you will get a much better sense of whether it is even worth paying for a survey. I found a Grady online that I fell in love...

This is, of course, pure speculation without seeing the area. However, I am with Parthery on this one. I bet you that has been patched at some point. I have a spot in my bow that a previous owner did on the diamond non-skid and it is completely obvious. It is a round smooth area. You will...

I saw this a couple of months ago. Cool looking boat. Not my style, but still a cool rig. I bet she will be very expensive. Gradys aint cheap! The only way I could afford one was by purchasing a 20 year old boat. But the darn thing looks new! Gradys sure do hold up well.

That depends on the type of motor you have and the diameter of the hose. My suggestion is this. Purchase the replacement that is specified by the manufacturer of your outboard. I have a 1994 Evinrude, and when it came time to replace the VRO supply line, I purchased an OMC replacement. You...
