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/

Me too!

....and PRECISE trolling speed control, whether its at 1950 RPM for Bluefin Tuna trolling, or 600 RPM for Stripers.

Hi Robert Yes, my boat had the OEM original aluminum bracket...after the first couple of years it began to leak like a sieve. I drained out buckets full of water every Fall no matter how anal I was with scraping, resealing and repainting every spring. The new fiberglass bracket eliminated all...

I'd have to vote for fixing/upgrading IF you really love what you have....IMO there is nothing in the current Grady White model lineup that fits my needs for a true FISHING BOAT. The current line up seems to be geared towards cruising instead. Nothing Grady now offers has as much cockpit space...

If you are going USED, then it's going to be hard to find a good G-1 with low hours out there...why would anyone replace a trouble-free low hour motor? If you are going NEW then as you can see here, there really is not a huge difference in price between the G-1's and the G-2's, especially when...

Why are you looking at G-1's? I've owned both and can confirm that the E-tec G-2's are vastly superior to the G-1's (which are very good motors). See the features here: http://www.chooseyouretec.com/en-us/

In high winds or strong current, don't try to go straight into the slip and chance being pushed into your neighbors boat. Instead, drive upwind/current close to your slip, put your boat in neutral and let the wind/current push you until you lay the side of your boat against the piling. Then use...

So, don't keep us in suspense...is your problem solved now with the re-hubbed prop or not?

That video is several years old. The first G2's were sold in June of 2014. They are tried and true and proven in the field.....love mine!

Did you consider this before you decide to repower with Yamaha? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1hDIsTCj1g By the way, they are currently offering an 8 year warranty...

Normal....You can only do what the Seas will allow. Next time in heavy seas try trimming your motors all the way down, and use your trim tabs to bring the bow down as much as possible. At those settings, you will be able to maintain plane with the lowest possible rpm. Your RPM's should remain...

You asked for help on this forum, and you got very good advice. Don't worry about your lower unit and don't waste any more time. No need to change the oil, it's fine. Your problem is a spun prop hub as stated above. THE HUB DID WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO and broke free, saving your lower unit...

Great plan! Enjoy the adventure! I took my boat over to Bimini last year and had a blast with my Son and his buddy. Excellent tips, pointers and thing you MUST know before making the crossing here: http://forums.floridasportsman.com/show ... -checklist and here...
