Planning to install a wood boat table with a removable pedestal side table mount at the bow of a GW235. I know from factory they have a floor mount, but I wanted one that would go on the side so I do not have to walk over a floor mount. Anyone done a side mount before at the bow where the...

Has anyone installed the Yamaha Helm Master Ex Joystick themselves? It looks like a plug and play. I tried to install the joystick on my GW 235 while on a trailer, but it seems to not be linking up. All the rigging looks good. The yamaha display recognizes that the joystick is in place (I...

Hi all, I had the joystick installed on my vessel. But it didn't come with any instructions. Does anyone know if the outboard is in neutral idling, should you be able to move the outboard back and forth just like you are able to do with the wheel? On the joystick, it does have a button that...

I just saw a spider crack on the bow port side of my 2022 GW235 near the waste outlet cap. I read, it may be nothing (cosmetic only) or could be serious. I have not hit anything in that area to cause it. Is this something I should address with the dealer or GW office now? The boat is still...

I have a 2022 Grady White 235 freedom. Anyone had any issues with the 100amp circuit breaker in the aft battery locker continuously tripping and/or not resetting at all? I believe the breaker is for the battery isolator. When the breaker is tripped, I do not notice anything else turning off or...

Hi all, I am planning to install a Garmin fantom 24x with hinge mount on a 2022- GW235. I have read that having a heading sensor would be ideal to have overlay on chart. Where on the GW235 should I place the sensor? Does it have to go on the bow or can I place it in storage seating on either...
