I’ve had to access it every Other year. Bilge pumps three times ( switch once pump once came off the bottom once ). Sea-lector valve for the live well wash down twice. (Just a terrible valve design. Wish I had brass if it was made ) But yes. If it’s structural I’ll not mess with it. I’m...

They make bulletproof glass out of polycarbonate. However it can be scratched by anything harder. It is hard to scratch and if you buy Makrolon AR (abrasion resistance) it is almost impossible to scratch (ie wiper blades) and what you would use . Polycarbonate cannot be buffed out...

Hi Mike Grady white does not have the rear fuel tank. It is a 1986 226 seafarer. With the engine on a bracket and live well center stern. The bilge pump’s is an incredible hassle to access (remove live well completely. Get lowered by your ankles to the depths of the bulge. ) the empty fuel...

i will check the ventilation plate with when I get back to the boat I’m sure the engine is mounted in the exact same spot as the 2-stroke on the Grady drive bracket The WOT is 5400 and 40 mph I can tilt up the engine very high (doesn’t feel right though ) and get nearly 6000 rpm but the top...

I will run her all-out this week and let you know the WOT RPM. I got higher RPM when trimmed nearly out of the water but it did not seem right under way. also no increase in speed. my hole shot is amazing and the boat comes right out of the water. I may be sacrificing top speed for hole-shot...

The 2-stroke was the same horsepower. Yamaha evidently, admits to propping the 4HP engines incorrectly as the same prop does NOT work the same on the larger 4-stroke engines. This error continued for several years. this is the same rated prop as the 2-stroke which is why I'm questioning...

i have a 22' 1987 seafarer with a 2016 F225 on a bracket. When it was running the old 2-stroke i ran at 50-53 top speed. I can rarely get up to full RPM near 6000rpm. Really around 5000 rpm The newer F225 four stroke rarely gets above 40. I cruise at 24 mph 3.2 MPG 3300RPM. I am very...

Does anyone know the size of the set-screw?

the light-tip bat toggle lights DO look pretty cool and a bit more modern! I might do this instead of the lit switch $12 vs $7 but it's really whichever I like to looks of better! I'm sure with a little trial and error I will figure out how to get it to light when the auto bilge comes on...

thanks, read it. will probably replace the LED lamps rather than the switch... so will measure.... Lit switch does make things easier and one of the posts above had one for $10 which is hard to argue with

I was thinking of the lamps not the switch. I guess I can measure the hole and see. I'll buy a lighted switch and see how it interacts with the bilge pump/on/off indicator that is separate from just the position switch

Does anybody know where to get the little indicator lights that go under the switches? or if there is a good LED replacement? I have a 1987 seafarer also, who makes these switches? They look like a black paddle toggle switch. searching the board finds ancient posts to nowhere... someplace...

What are the rods coming out of the bottom of the boat in this photo? after I removed the livewell to get at the aft bilge pump I found a rod laying in my bilge that looks similar.... PS your bilge is spotless.

boat is dry as a bone back in the water. Used the USS ultra safety system for the rear bilge. The front bilge is wired wrong and has no auto (only manual) mode. I rewired to be automatic when switched on until I can run a new wire for auto mode

I will go for a panel with circuit breakers from newwiremarine.com. I'll go for lit rocker switches and push-button circuit breakers. I'd like to simplify my life of glass fuses and blade switches my boat is an 87 and there is definitely a big space in the back where a fuel tank was removed...

I have a 1987 Grady white, original switch panel. I noticed a fuel switch. Also the aft bilge has no manual mode. I am probably going to upgrade the panel but what is the fuel switch? My boat presently has one 97 gallon tank. Is this a useless switch for an older setup with two tanks?

as a 1987 seafarer owner: 1) the floor panels are likely soft and will need to be re-cored. Grady does not believe in epoxying holes and edges. 2) the forward bulkhead is likely rotted and if not replaced both port and starboard should be replaced. 3) replace the teak with starboard when you...

This was the case. We had a lot of rain, and it probably failed during hurricane IDA. switch was stuck open and burned the pump out. I don't believe it was a coincidence that the bilge filled with water upon my arrival, and I think it was already pretty full. probably worse when it tilted...
