I've had more dead batteries in my 2021 Freedom than I had on all previous watercraft - ever. I've become super-diligent about putting battery switch OFF every evening, and alternating 1/2 when I'm running on even/odd days. I put a charger on them every week or two without use during the...

The hole that a surge pin WOULD go in is 1/2 way visible - far far left in the photo. This is in the "male" part of the trailer tongue. There's no pin in that hole - it appears partially "surged" back into the (female) brake enclosure, meaning your brakes are engaged! You can see that IF...

I was able to get the windshield alignment straightened out when this happened in an old boat (not a GW). Kept messing with the hinges and support arms until we we were straightened up.

I little bit of length makes heading into chop a little better. A little wider beam makes moving about the cockpit easier. Trailering the extra 6” has been tougher on me than I had anticipated - tight traffic, truck traffic, and construction zones wear you out on longer trips.

Depth, heading, and whatever else you want is displayed on your MFD at all times. so only one display is ever needed. But there have been times I’ve wished for a Second, Stand-Alone depth sounder for redundancy in sketchy water.

Like concrete floating docks. Until they crush boats in a storm surge.

If it only lists while underway, you've got one trim tab stuck down. Or possibly a bend in the skeg. But if it lists when at rest and there's no obvious weight issue, there's water someplace where it doesn't belong.

My NEW Grady was delivered in June. They are back-ordered on the connector that goes on your hose. Months later and still back-ordered. Supply chain issues . . . The couple I bought at a hardware store don't connect . . . I'm still waiting on the part from Grady, and I remind the dealer...

My new 215 came with a Wesco trailer model B-ALC-2259T. I think it sells for about $5k. This is a top-of-the-line trailer with welded aluminum frame, very nice alloy wheels, spare mounted, surge disc brakes on all 4 wheels, dual-speed winch, etc. etc. I probably will trailer the boat 5,000...

Just bought a new 215. Neither factory nor dealer would install a thru-hull, so I have go go transom-mount. They said there is no place to mount it, and if there was there would be no way to access it . . .

I also just got a new Freedom 215 and noticed the same thing last weekend - strange that the red and green reflection was so bright. There was no moon and it was really really dark out, which made things worse - But it didn't bother me too badly. I had to shut off the Yamaha display and turn...
