    nav lights switch replacement

    I have a 93 escape and the nav lights were not working this spring, upon commissioning. I opened the panel and noticed on of the terminals on the switch had cracked. I found an on/off/on switch that had the same footprint to replace it and attempted to rewire everything just as it was prior...

    has anyone replaced the pedestal seats on escape

    I was thinking of replacing the pedestal seats on my 20 escape. I currently have the pedestal seats, and though I prefer them to the leaning posts, I would much prefer a reversible bench seat. I know that Grady does not offer this option that is compatible with the 20 foot model, but I was...
