    House Battery not enough for all the electronics today ?

    Anyone have this issue on your Grady ? I'm most likely drawing to many amps with a TZ touch3 16" MFD with 1k sounder 2 VHF radios Raymarine 12' and 7' MDF's Auto pilot and furuno GP 32. my guess is we're pulling 25 amps. Ok while running however too much strain when at idle or motors off. Anyone...

    Very poor ttop finish

    That's absofrigginlutely Horrible !! A sign of the times I suppose. No way I would tolerate that nonsense. That's some backyard chickencoop workmanship there. You would think in this day and age GW would have stepped it up a notch, build a more modern looking T top like Regulator's surfboard...

    Fresh Water Flush

    Correct ... mine are Yamaha's different manufacturers different procedures. Didn't the Yam F 350's have some sort of issue if you left motors up in cold weather residual water could get trapped and freeze ?? Older models maybe ?

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    My best guess would be to go with option two as Fish stated... The Scientists at Grady weren't forward thinking enough.

    Fresh Water Flush

    My humble procedure: I have a pair of 250's. At days end back into slip, tie up and shut down. Hook up both motors to a Y valve splitter we made up. Turn on water and simultaneously begin flushing in down position. Open beer. Start drinking beer while filling wash bucket with another hose...

    Marina’s being absorbed Big Business ?

    My fear is some day the blue collar guys/gals will be pushed out to trailer trashin’ it mostly. Not that there’s anything wrong with being mobile. Some folks just like having the convenience of a slip. But at what cost are we able to tolerate

    Marina’s being absorbed Big Business ?

    .... Although I like our Marina (alot) in OC it is privately owned, maybe on the higher end of the slip fee scale it is a great place and the folks are real personable. Hope it stays that way. I like the old mom and pop marinas over in the Bay and would hate to see them fall victim to the lure...

    DIY 282 Sailfish Transom Repair

    Nice glass work repair on the transom. Too bad the Scientists at GW didn’t do that in the first place. What material did you use for that bang plate ?

    Upholstery Scientists

    Going to check again next time I’m at the house Dan. Weather sucks again this weekend (gotta love middle earth here in the northeast) I had the same question myself. Those staples are all rusted away. The cushions etc look practically new. They were stored and rarely used. .

    Hard Water Spots on side windows

    Lot’s of snake oils out there for water spot removal. As mentioned it may be etched therefore could need to try mechanically (polishing) or hire a professional

    Upholstery Scientists

    Just throwing a well deserved jab here … Have a beautiful set of factory cushions that snap on the exterior of the trunk cabin. They have been stored indoors at home or down below in the V berth so they look almost new. However upon further examination I noticed that the “Staple Scientist” had...

    FYI Ongaro Wipers

    Fyi had purchased a pair of Ongaro wiper replacements last spring (black) coated. Sold as marine wipers. Doing some prep this spring and noticed they were rusted out. Why in the world would someone zinc coat a steel wiper and sell it for use on a marine application ?? Luckily The local dealer...
