    OMC spray paint dry time

    Folks, believe it or not, the Evinrude/Johnson touch up paint I got directly from Evinrude does NOT provide any information whatsoever about curing time. What the heck? I have checked all over the inernet and can't seem to find this information. The color is the OMC white, 1981 and on. I have...

    Attwood scupper 3876-3

    Need some help from folks, please. So I ordered a replacement for my scuppers on my 192 tournament. What was on the transom was a rubber ring, then rubber flapper ring, then the hard plastic outer ring. So, the attwood replacement comes in the mail and it is an exact fit. But here is the...

    Grady Lounge/Sleeper Seat

    I am looking to have all my cushions redone before summer. Has anyone removed a sleeper seat from their Grady? I assume you have to somehow remove the upper seats in order to get down into the base to unscrew or unbolt the base. How is this done? I would like to remove it without damaging...

    Wiring LEDs

    I would appreciate some advice on wiring LEDs up under the Gunnels of my 192 Tournament. I have searched online, but can't find the answer to my questions. I plan on wiring them to my accessory switch at the helm. The Grady manual for my year (1994) states that the accessory switch breaker is...

    Thru hulls with no backing plate

    So, I am replacing all of my thru hulls on a 1994 192 Tournament and noticed that none of them have a wood backing plate. The inner nut is threaded straight against the fiberglass on the inside of the hull. They are the original Perko thru hulls. Any idea why Grady did it this way? I am...

    Omc spark plug wire opinion needed

    I have a silly question, but wanted opinions. I have a 1994 evinrude ocean pro V6 that has 1 spark plug wire that is definitely bad. One other wire is marginal, but probably should be replaced. The rest look to be in ok shape. All are the original wires, circa 1994. I found a replacement set of...

    Really stupid question about Aux. switches.

    So, I have a 1994 192 tournament with fish finder, stereo and VHF. All of those power up without the need to hit a switch. I have 2 Aux. Switches that light up, but they don't power anything on the boat. If I get some new toys, how do I wire these so they employ one of the aux. Switches? I am...

    Bad Rectifier?

    I know this question may be better suited for an outboard forum, but I thought I would give it a shot and see what you all think. I have a 1994 Evinrude Ocean Pro, 200 hp. My voltmeter is reading 18 with the outboard running. If I just turn the key, it reads 13 until the motor cranks, then jumps...

    Tachometer help please!

    Last week I swapped out my voltmeter and fuel gauge on my 192 tournament. No issues there. This weekend I replaced the old omc tachometer with a new faria instruments tach. I followed the same procedure. Disconnected the battery, swapped out the gauge with ground going to ground, signal wire to...

    Helm replacement

    Hello all. I have a Seastar hydraulic helm that I need to replace. When I disconnect the hydraulic lines at the helm, will I need to first purge out the hydraulic fluid, or can the lines be removed without a lot of spillage? I know I will have to refill and purge the system after install, but I...

    Wet sanding

    So I have a 1994 tournament that I removed the stripes on. Going to leave them off. I compounded to get rid of the serious ghost stripes with no luck. Got some 600 grit and wet sanded and it is working great. Halfway through I figured, let me hit this with the 3m compound and the orbital just to...

    Carpet liner

    Hey all. Have a pretty straight forward question. My 192 tournament has a carpet liner in the bow storage boxes and also under the port and starboard storages areas. By the looks of the installation, this was done at the factory. Question: the liner in the bow storage boxes has come undone from...

    Windshield Loose on Tournament

    I just noticed that the port windshield frame on my 192 tournament is loose. :-| The shock absorber looking support rod is solid, so that is not the issue. I have thoroughly looked from up under the port console and am surprised that I can't find any bolts securing the frame. Come on, no bolts...

    Thru hulls for 1994 Tournament 192

    I have a 94 tournament 192 that needs all the thru hulls replaced. I want to go with stainless this go around. I contacted Grady White via email, and while they were nice and quick to respond, I was a bit confused by the information they provided. They indicate the thru hulls for the bilge and...

I searched for at least a year and finally found a 192 that was right for me. Here is the question. Are there any...
