    Throttling up to Turn in Place

    Try raising the prop thats in reverse up slightly, about 15 degrees. This will allow the propwash to go under the boat instead of hitting the stern.

    WEMA --- NO MORE ...for the individual customer. Been sold

    WEMA has been bought out and renamed. In the past, they had a great relationship with the individual boater ---- NOT ANYMORE. I called this past week to try and order new sender gaskets. When the phone was answered, I was told this is no longer WEMA but another corporation entirely. The...

    I have a'97 Gulfstream. Can anyone tell me if there is a travel adjustment for the wiper swing left-to-right. Its been a couple of years since I have put them to use. They function fine except the travel seems short.

    bennett trim tab problems

    Pressing both up and down switches on the "Old" setup blows the fuse. At least that what happened on my '97 Gulfstream. That would be one up and the other down. Has something to do with the pump wiring.

    2002 Grady White Bracket Oring

    I got tired of trying to find the proper size O-Ring and the plastic "Nut" ring for inside the bracket is a JOKE. I purchased a larger inspection plate assembly. enlarged the hole and used stainless screws to secure the mount. Now I have a larger space to access the inside of the bracket and...

    Fuel Gauge always showing full

    If you replace the sender(s), I recommend getting WEMA units. They are out of Florida and will need the actual length of existing guage or the true depth of the tank. I replaced mine over 15 years ago and the still work fine.

    Recommended VHF Antenna Length?

    I have never heard anyone say 'I wish I had a smaller antenna" when the time came that their life depended on it. TALLER IS BETTER. My 8ft antenna is mounted on my hardtop which puts the tip of the antenna at approximately 18ft off the water. I have talked 22+ miles on the Chesapeake bay on a...

    275 Freedom Gel Coat Cracks

    I have to agree that the snap retaining screws are done with self-tapping screws. Remove every one of them and have Grady make this right by refinishing the holes and installing the snaps correctly

    VHF Radio problems on a Marlin 300

    Just a thought, but Mid-Shore electronics in Cambridge MD is one of the best around. Call them and ask what they would charge to test your unit. They will match any price you find online for electronics. These are the guys that install stuff in those multi-million dollar boats. 410-228-7335...

    Repower - 98' 232 gulfstream

    Grady-White will NOT, repeat NOT hang a 350 of any make on gulfstream built before 2010, I think. According to the people I spoke with the transom is not strong enough to withstand the massive torque that the 350 puts out.

    232 Gulfstream

    I have a 1997 Gulfstream with Twin 150 oldies 2-strokes. I'm the 2nd owner on this boat, bought here in 2001 with less than 100 hrs. I have had MANY Grady owners say they wish they had gone with twins. The boat is much easier to dock w/twins then a single. These boats have a nasty habit of...

    Grady 232 Jack Plate Repair

    In all likelihood its a bracket made by the GILL Corporation that is no longer in Biz. I cut out the original inspection plat and enlarged the hole to accept a double gasketed inspection plate. Replaced the "O"-ring in the drain and the inside has remained dry ever since. Purchased the...

    Trim Tab Pump Location 2000 Gulfstream 2000

    BEFORE you do anything, check the fuse for being blown. If at sometime you pressed one switch up and the other down at the same time, it will blow the 20amp fuse. Test for power on both sides of the connection at the fuse block. Then you can proceed to the pump.
