I went from the Delta anchor to the Mantus and it self launches every time and so far has held better. It is irritating when it does not drop when needed so have been much happier with the Mantus.

In my experience in my 252G Sportbridge model, every trip is different. Over time after getting more and more used to her, I found I could not get the bow down enough to let the front cut the seas more. So I added some keel weight and found now with tabs, I can put the front down into the seas...

Wow, looks like it could be an Ice Breaker!

Folks, I had a bad case of dock rash last weekend and have to do a gelcoat repair and also repair a section of the blue stripe on the side. I have been searching for the striping, but seems some of the former sources have since dried up. I can spray paint the stripe which I have done before and...

Does anyone know if these refills will fit the Marineco Stainless Steel wiper arms? I am using the Marineco 34020S model with the Silicone Wiper blades, but they barely last 2 seasons, even covered from the sun. I have been able to get new one's including the new SS arms for approx. $27 each...

Agree, same here. Just a thin coating is all that is needed.

Agree, but smoothness and operation of the Dewalt over the HF is night and day. The weight has not bothered me and I am an old guy doing the 25' boat myself. However, lighter would be nice, but investment is done for now. Speed control has been very important and the HF does not handle that well.

I have gone through 3 HF polishers. The last 2 I still have but got tired of them not managing the slow speed. After starting and they run a minute or so as they warm up, then the speed increases too much. Went for the Dewalt and what a difference. Speed management is stellar and that with the...

My favorite design over the years ended up being the one I dreamed of owning someday and now have....The 252G model. I love the swim platform and bracket as it gives a very large fish box in the transom and close access over the motors when fishing in comparison to the euro transom design. The...

Punchline, my tank holds 202 gallons and is full. It will burn just over 100 gallons my first trip out plus the 3 hour drive each way towing. That is another 40 gallons plus the 2 stroke oil for 2 gallons. One fishing trip at $5.00 per gallon will hit me for $700 in fuel, add the oil and total...

I have the spring in my overhead radio box door and it never fails either. Quick and simple. That is why I was wanting to see the vinyl straps as I though all the radio box doors on the Grady's had these springs. I did have the heavy clear vinyl strap with snap on my cabin door that held it...

I have been getting my gelcoat from Grady in the past when I had lots of restoration work to do. It was perfect match. I have a small section to fix in the next week or two so I just picked up a pint of white from West Marine off the shelf and will try to tint to match as best as I can. If I...

Any pics of these straps with twist locks?

I replaced my round hatch plates with the screw in type from West Marine a couple years ago and have never leaked a drop since. I did have to open up the hole slightly, but that was easy enough. Before this, I had a few gallons get in after every offshore trip. Now I remove the drain plugs on...

I mounted the Vinyl VHF radio holder just inside the cabin door. Can quickly reach it from the helm. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--handheld-vhf-radio-holder-large--8717878?recordNum=1

What am I missing here? If we only take 3% oil from Russia, then how is the gas prices rising so much over such a small amount of impact? Certainly we can make up for it elsewhere if not our own reserves.

I think I finally found a pic on this part. It is actually the float for the pump. Here is a pic and it totally looks like it might have 2 orings that might be the culprit.

Fills are on the transom with hose going down to tanks. No leaks there or around the fitting where it connects the hoses to the tanks. The leak is where I said due to that fitting not sealing anymore. I did reach down and could move them without much effort, so to me, they have either shrunk or...

Haha, Dennis, yeah, they are proud of their bracket system. For sure, a battery tray system would work out as well. I made my own out of some SS threaded rod and Starboard or PVC for my house batteries, sitting on a foam exercise mat for shock absorption and has been the best battery tray. Not...

That is a random picture, not mine. Just showing you the neck that is supposed to be sealed with the fitting. I need to get down in there and check it further. I had planned on pulling them out this down season to clean up and recoat the brackets as I see they are rusting a bit and then I could...
