I’m having a tough time raising my ski pylon. I have used some WD40 with silicone on the shaft, allowing it trickle down the shaft, AND lubricating the locking mechanism I believe that the shaft must be pushed down with the palm of your hand, while releasing the locking mechanism. It won’t budge...

That color was Grady’s first color. Southport Blue gel coat. I believe that is no longer offered for 2022.

I have a 2021 Freedom 235. The ski pylon shaft is difficult to lift, and place back in the hole. Appears to be in need of lubrication. Has anyone had this issue? What would be your choice of lubrication?

Pettit Tech Support 800-221-4466

For 15 years I had a Albin 28 with LOTS of underwater metals, and LOTS of barnacles on metals. Pettit Paints Tech Support were AWESOME. The key to preventing barnacles etc, was to use a NON-COPPER anti-fouling paint. ( Hydrocoat Eco, water based). (Easy clean-up) Simply put, other copper paints...

If you have Awl-grip as your hull paint, you should follow their recommendations for maintenanc. * No wax….ever! * Wash with Awl-wash * instead of wax, use Awl-Care. A light liquid applied, dries to haze, remove with COTTON ONLY * Shrink-wrap to the rub-rail, never on the painted surface. *...

You’re gonna love it!! We got ours in mid-June here on Cape Cod. Weather here has only been so-so in MASSACHUSETTS, so it has kept the hours low. Just a great boat…..and I also have the latest Yamaha 300. Awesome combo.

I have a 2021 Freedom 235. One option for winter storage is to buy a bunk-style trailer, haul out at the end of the season, winterize, and have it sit on the trailer until spring. Then perform the spring ritual of “making her beautiful” for spring launch. So the trailer is used twice a year...
