I put in a sandbag bid on eBay for a Kohler 5E generator that had been submerged. I bought the whole thing for $50 plus shipping which was about $150 (that sucker was heavy). Anyway it arrived in 3 boxes in pieces. All the non-mechanical non-electrical bits are in pretty decent shape. The...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-30- ... 4601fa2b7a. I saw this on eBay today. Not my boat but thought if anyone from Florida needed a big project or a parts boat......

My engines are 1997 Mercury 250 EFI Offshore -OG47xxxx I have a problem with my starboard engine. Started up both engines and they ran fine. Starboard engine quits dead and will not re-start. It's cranking fine. I checked it was getting fuel and all that seems fine. I pulled the plugs one at a...

Has anyone shipped a Grady from the New York/Boston area to the westcoast? I'm looking for a ballpark price and any shippers who are reliable and insurable! I'm debating between repowering my Marlin or biting the bullet and getting a 33 Express. My bias is newer boat so I'm checking out my...

I'm thinking of up grading my batteries and charging system. I find it frustrating to really have no idea as to how much charge my batteries have and what condition they are in. I run a four battery system in my 1992 Marin. Two engine and two house batteries. At idle my alternators put out about...

I have the classic version Raymarine C80 set up. Radar,GPS and fishfinder. I finally got my boat all buttoned up and took it out on Saturday. I got a "DSM signal lost" error message several times and the screen would flicker from time to time. I searched the Raymarine site and several other...

I live in Canada and ordered two new tank senders from Florida Marine Tanks. I asked them not to use UPS but they did against my wishes. They arrived today late. Plus UPS charged me $39.10 to "clear customs" when there is no duty on items manufactured in the US. Fedex doesn't charge this, not...

I have finished fixing the area under my deck hatches and decided to finish it off with a little gelcoat to make it look nicer even though no one will see it. I followed the instructions on the can and added the hardener following the guidelines for our temperatures here ( ~80 degrees ). The...

I can't believe my luck. I order wiper blades from Crocker and they arrive and are great except they don't fit. The wiper arms on mine won't fit the replacement blades they sent. The replacement blades are narrower in the mounting area with a hole for a pin or something. The blades are slightly...

This 2007 Grady White 20' 8" walkaround is fitted with a 2007 225 HP Yamaha outboard motor, both of which were partially submerged in December, 2008. There is no physical damage to the hull or deck. What would this be worth new? It sank in brackisg water and the engine was not pickled...

I finally traced my forward bilge pump wiring problem to the switch. It worked on "standby" but could not be turned on by switch at the helm panel. I pulled the switch and it was corroded with signs overheating. It failed the multi-meter test so now I need a replacement. Boat is 1992 Marlin and...

I pulled up my deck sections to clean them up before I put my new deck plates in. I discovered that the thin piece of fibreglass between the aft deck section and the deck section over the tanks is supported by a piece of plywood that is wet and rotten. I'm assuming that these pieces were...

My deckplate are old and ugly and won't clean up anymore. Also, even with new "O" rings I think they leak a little. My boat is a 1992 Marlin and the plate have an 8" outside diameter. Who makes replacements in off-white and which is better: pop-outs, screw-outs or the ones with the T-Handle lock?

I have a 1992 Marlin. It has a pair of primer pumps to bring fuel up to the engines. Can anyone direct me as to who made them and where to find replacements?

I decide to replace my forward bilge pump and switch based on the fact that I was getting only intermittent functioning when it was switched on. I pulled out the pump and the switch. Both Rule, a 1500 GPH pump and the switch enclosed in a blue box type cover. When I steam cleaned my bilge a...

I don't know. It's a Canadian boat and they may have gotten a deal on "old" stock engines or ordered it so far in advance they got stuck with the 225's. Speed is not an issue in BC waters. We have a lot of wood in the water and very choppy seas due to all wind/tide/currents. I cruise my Marlin...

I'm looking at a 2006 330 that has everything I want except it only has the 225's. Can someone who has run these engines on a 330 please let me know what they think of them and what kind of real life performance they get.

I was at the local boat show on Wednesday and had a good chat with the Grady dealer. New guy from last year, very friendly. Couple of notes. I saw the 290 and was asking about why they would bring out a new model so close in size to the Marlin. According to him the Marlin is so popular it's...

I have a question about mid-sized Gradys. A good friend of mine wants a new fishing boat. He prefers a walk around. His slip can only hold a boat of maximum 25' LOA. What is the 'biggest' Grady in that length. He likes to be comfortable and needs a head. Can this be done? Say 1995 models and up.

I have a 1992 Marlin. In the helm area outboard of the seats is the area where there are the drink holders and open storage areas. The vertical panels below these are made of the melamine covered plywood material that Grady seemed to use everywhere back then. On my boat they seem to be very weak...
