In Oz the only 300hpdi I have seen is owned by a buddy on his blackwatch 25 and at around the 250 hr mark he is still having unresolved issues.Latest one is replacing the ecu! With a new motor, he is "lucky" to have warranty but I believe that is starting to run out! What next. When I...

Well I have nothing to add, however when i drilled my 265 hull at the keel it was over 1" thick. I'll have to see if I still have the core sample. I was impressed. A friend put a hole in his 38' Riveria to install forward facing furuno sonar and it was well over 4" thick at that point . I...

First off I will state that I'm not an electronics engineer.......but i do know what I have seen, and it was quite obvious. For all of the benefits of keeping the transducer inboard why do fishing professionals choose thru hulls. There are so many factors influencing the image we see on the...

sounds great thanks for all the info.

I'm quite sure the macerator is not at fault, as i ran it on the bench prior to installation. I hope I'm right in assuming that the orange wire + on the macerator is also orange + on the grady? I will have my tech friend look at the elctrical side this weekend. I wondered if there was a...

Thanks for suggestions guys. Bill the smart stick is made by whom and roughly how much? Is it easily fitted ? sounds too good.... Gman the ap compass is in it's position under the helm deck and has not had any nearby changes, I think this ap is 10 years old so I 'm expecting probs with some parts.

I have the device on the outboards. how does the virtual one work? off the GPS? I have read about trouble with the outboard mounted device due to it's location. I will try setup procedure again and see if that helps.

My ap11 ia playing up again. After getting the pump rebuilt the ap worked for a couple of oputings and now has starting veering to the right after turning on. There are no alarms or error codes just doesn't do what it shouls. Capt Bill I believe you had some issues with an ap11 some time ago. Or...

Well my macerator arrived less than 7 days after order. Excellent service from defender. I had it back in the boat inside 2 hours, not as bad as I was expecting, if it hadn't have been for those pesky 2 screws on the wiring bterminals trying to get them in their holes with cable pushing them...

Whilst fitting inside the hull definitely works and preserves the integrity of the hull...........It really depends on how you intend to use your sounder. If you fish in deep water 200+ft and bottom detail is important then the clarity and information you will lose is not acceptable...

G'day from OZ, congratulations on your purchase. Grady's aren't perfect (what boat is?) but they are one of the best and just having access to the wealth of experience and info on this forum has really added to my enjoyment of Tanami.

The coral trout RH fish and Red Emperor LH fish are found in 100+ ft for the big ones usually however trout can be caught around any coral structure. The emperor is usually found in the deeper water. Legal size for those is 55cm minimum so that one is just legal. My son caught a bigger one on...

Thankyou guys that's the one. Unfortunately GW customer service lead me on a wild goose chase. I will pull the existing one apart before purchasing a replacement. The quality appears to be good so as Gradyfish says it may just be loose connection.

I've had many girlfriends of all different persuasions, but I must confess my currents "girls" are so quiet I hardly know they are there. As i get older I'm not looking for so much work/challenges and excitement. Quiet and stable is good. I can't say Im in love yet, My heart is still aching...

Mine was a 18" high stainless on a swingdown bracket but as it was in the middle of the hardtop I had to get onto the hardtop to put it up and down. We trailer the boat so I wanted a fixed mount and not so high. Just bought a black plastic one that's about 6" high and is in the middle of the...

Really sorry to hear that Chris. Sounds like you have some good advice there and the forum is doing what it does very well. Love to hear how you like the boat once you get her splashed.

So I've ordered my groco macerator from Defender Marine whilst their price was more Depco wanted twice as much for freight so it was an easy decision to make when I am already paying $100 freight. The one I removed was very RUSTY around the edge of the bellows and on some other parts. Please...

You are all welcome to come fish with us any time . It is very warm in the summer (think Florida) and perfect in Winter, april- october.

I agree the way you have done it looks acheivable by an amateur. However your standards are excellent. Great work and how do you measure the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

It's really only since the advent of glass boats and outboards that we have come to expect a dry bige. Most older boats with prop shafts will have some leaking into the bilge. Having said that I think Grady's continued use of the anchor locker emptying into the bilge is flawed especially if...
