It was easy. It was the battery switch for the house bank. I had my mechanic slowly turn the switch to the ON position. It provided no juice. It should have permitted a flow of current. It did not. My experience has been that the contacts within these battery switches get worn or crusty from the...

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a bad battery switch.

Thanks.

Good idea. However, the area needed to be covered after compass removal is about 7"x7". I have been unable to find anything in this size of any type of instrument that would fit those dimensions.

Here is a picture from another Grady. I have the same compass in the same location. See attached picture.

It looks just like the one on your dash. A speaker might work but I still think there is something more useful out there.

Thanks Chris. Unfortunately, the compass is mounted perpendicular to the waterline so a cop holder will not work.

What can?

I have been boating for over 50 years and hold a 100 Ton Master's License. I am aware of the safety aspect. Just looking for an alternative.

I have this compass on my Freedom 285. I do not use it and would prefer to put something else in the dash where it is mounted. Has anyone done this or do you have a suggestion for a suitable alternative piece of electronics to place there. I do not want to fuss with expanding the hole of curing...

I scuffed the top of my windshield frame on a low bridge. As a result, the bottom of the frame where it attaches to the fiberglass lifted a bit exposing part of a screw. How do I access the bottom of the frame to address the lifted screw? While the actual damage is minimal, I would like to drive...

Under and behind the helm unit.

I have a 285 and love it. Twin 300 Yammies. Fast and large. Could not be happier. Minor complaint. Some of the hardware could be better quality stainless. It rusts. But, with that said, great boat.

I have the same boat. I have replaced the batteries myself. Not fun but doable. I originally had AM batteries. They did not last vs. the increased price. I replaced them with regular flooded acid batteries. I use Exides.

Found it. Near the wiper motor behind a panel.

I need to know where Grady put this antenna on my 2013 Grady Freedom 285. I have removed the hardtop for other reasons so the antenna is mounted elsewhere not in sight. I know it needs a clear view of the sky but before I start taking the boat apart, I am hoping someone knows here Grady put this...

The decorative stainless nut on my three spoke steering wheel is damaged. Does anyone know what size or make it is? I need to replace it. Thanks.

Here is a general lesson I have learned while boating for more than 50 years. Never go boating for enjoyment if the weather is worsening. Since boating is supposed to be fun, why worry about racing bad weather.
