    Kenwood stereo reception

    If I unplug the antenna wire from the radio I get no reception. If I stretch the antenna wire out while plugged in nothing changes. One of the LED bars on the face plate doesn't light up so the dealer is sending me a new radio head under warranty. Hopefully when I reinstall it and check all the...

    Kenwood stereo reception

    Would it be a bad ground on the stereo or could it be a bad ground on my GPS or VHF? The GPS and VHF seem to be working just fine.

    Kenwood stereo reception

    I have a 2008 225 w/ Kenwood stereo and get a terrible buzz through the speakers with the engine running unless it is a really strong station. When the engine is off the reception improves. My problem is my dealer is 365 miles away and nobody here locally can diagnose, or wants to diagnose the...

    New Owner

    After having owned BWs for 21 years I "Got the Grady" this year and couldn't be happier. BW makes a great boat but as you'll soon discover the Grady will make you never regret your decision. Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

    EPA 'Clean Boating Act 2008'

    Boat US has been working on this for quite some time and has been urging members to contact their congressional representatives to support the clean boating act. I suggest everyone do it.

    I bought a new 205 Tournament

    I'm a little surprised that the motor did not come with a stainless prop. My 225w/ F250TXR hit 6000 RPM with the factory prop with no problem. I do not have bottom paint but I had a full fuel tank (96 gal), no water, and two people. I agree w/ Brian about checking with your dealer. You may also...

    Price for a new 226

    Brad, I'm sorry your experience with Beaver Park was unpleasant. I dealt w/ Pat Grasso and I can only say great things about him, Bill Jeancola, and the owner Bill Schaeffer. They treated me as if I was the only customer they had, and believe me I wasn't as it was Memorial Day weekend! Our...

    Price for a new 226

    If you see a Tournament 225 down there give me a shout on the VHF. I think I'm the only one @ Cumberland. My MMSI # is 338-079-033. Were out of White Oak about 2 miles above Conley Bottom.

    Yamaha Maintenance (oil change / gear oil change)

    I don't disagree with your premise, I just don't think a $25/hr difference in the labor rate is a small difference. It's a 21% difference in labor rate and they are both Yamaha factory autorized dealers. We have no Grady dealer within 365 miles so I have to use other Yamaha dealers for engine...

    Yamaha Maintenance (oil change / gear oil change)

    I just had the 10hr break in service done on my F250TXR. The dealer here charged me $206.71 for everything. He basically just changed the oil, filter, and lower unit fluid. His labor rate was $95/hr. Next time I will go to the other dealer in town whose labor rate is $75/hr. Shame on me for not...

    Just sorry it wasn't me.

    This was in the Louisville Courier Journal on Sunday. I just wish it could have been me that caught it. Angler lands 50-poundstriper at Cumberland Larry Hopkins of Louisville caught a 50-pound striped bass last week at Lake Cumberland while fishing with guide Tony Van Arsdale of Floyds...
