    Year range for 25' I/O?

    Anyone know the year range grady built the 25's with a single I/O gas big block? Any SeaV2 sailfish models made this way?

    Reverse Polarity when hooked to shore power

    The isolator is for your ground wire. Something has the hot wire swapped with neutral. That is what the reverse polarity is indicating. Try turning AC devices on one at a time to isolate the culprit.

    If it has failed, there is a big screw on the side that will release pressure & it will lower.

    New Radar

    Just get the lowest mount you can find. You want it angled downward in front to reduce blindspot where you want it least.

    252 sailfish

    Not correct. 252 is not the same as the 282 or even the 272. Early 272 added euro transom. 1998/1999 the 272 added extended running surface and can float 4 strokes and the added running surface improved handling. Also, the plastic thru hulls changed over to SS. Many improvements including...

    Grocco in tank macerator / Jabsco Conversion

    Yep. +10. When that things fails, abandon it. Not a great design by any means using saltwater.

    Three Battery Systems.....

    You could add a 4th battery, 3rd batt switch and enable combining for all with a charge present without combining via switches. 1 house is not good enough, always need a backup plan. You want to wire pumps to batts individually. If you combine and walk away, it will take only 1 stuck float...

    upgrade?? 228 to 25 sailfish

    Definitely stay with a bracket boat or eurotransom for best handling, driest on the drift and most room in cockpit, which is the most important part of the boat.

    New to the site, looking to purchase a late 80's grady

    Well of course if you have a tight budget the 22 will be cheaper to repower. If you want twins and the associated expense, upgrade that 24 to instead a sailfish. Board both and see what you think.

    Water in bilge

    Up to the handle on multiple locations tells me it is not just water in bilge just settling forward, repeatedly. There are a lot of places a Grady (or any fishy boat) can leak from below or above. Check all of those waterline thru hull fittings/hoses for fishwell drains, cockpit scuppers...

    Ex Dolphin falls off Grady.

    If he can afford a 36 Grady, he can certainly afford a wireless auto-tether but money cannot buy common sense. http://www.autotether.com/
