Will do. The primer seemed to adhere very nicely to the bare metal I did two coats of it lightly sanded top coat of primer after a good cure time before two coats of Grady paint. Next job is to wax the super structure, I got a nice smaller size Makita 18v polisher/sander Tips on...

I found white Samurai primer in can and Armstrong Brackets supplied me with some matching paint. Sanded down to bare aluminum where it was peeling and masked for primer , removing masking tape after second primer spray ( 15 minute re coat time ) was easy. Used a little purdy brush with the...

I have some small areas of failing paint on the aluminum engine bracket. Used grinding wheel to remove down to metal and then tried gelcoat repair which turned out to be a disaster. I wanted to sand or chip that repair product off and start over. First is I just would ask for help in the...

I have a 2014 Freedom 225. Scupper flaps ( black rubber ) look worn and one of them allowed some wildlife to grow behind it. Having trouble finding the replacement parts and could not find any instructions. Are they very easy to change generally ? Can someone steer me on this one please...

Ok thanks ! It seemed to drain once I pulled it out by accident. I will check it now that I know I cannot do any damage !!! Appreciate everyone’s help.

So the hose just pokes thru the hole in the carpet of the bow storage area and that’s it ? Thank you !

Freedom 225 , 2014. Noticed the starboard bow cup holder was not draining. Reached underneath and accidentally pulled the hose out. It looks like it just poked thru the carpet in the bow under cushion hatch. Was it connected to something on the far side of that hatch ? It seemed to...

Thank you !!!!

Ok so the theory that the shower head stuck in depressed ( on) mode while inadvertently putting water pressure on while running ( and draining tank ) seems to be valid. I had water in tank today after a week of sitting idle. No problems !! Thanks to all who commented I really do appreciate...

Thanks again for all this detail. I will be down at slip tonight and will let you know !

Tom - my replies in context below I don't exactly follow your freshwater problem description. Can you please clarify a few items so these fine commenters can better help you? You have a freshwater holding tank that you can refill using a garden hose or such through a capped fill port...

Ok - yesterday I added some water to the tank. About 30 seconds of flow into tank at least a gallon. When I turned water pressure on the shower sprayed and pump was cycling. The button on shower remained depressed I noticed. I turned water pressure off and removed shower head. Then put...

Thank you ! If I recall just after putting more water in the tank the shower head worked well. I also took off the shower head and the bubbling was the same. Question : if I put some water in the tank and the shower head sprays well could it mean that I have a leaking tank ? I know for...

Replying to my own post to add this : also noticed earlier in the year that with the fresh water pressure on , the cockpit shower was running right away before I pressed the button on the shower head. And it was hard to turn off. Today when I noticed this empty tank issue ( was trying to...

2014 Freedom 22.5 - Noticed earlier this season that my fresh water tank despite being reasonably filled was empty again after minimal use. I don’t use the fresh water shower so often. Then I re filled it with let’s say 3 gallons or so , couple of weeks later it’s empty again. I am thinking...

Can anyone make a recommendation for a good trusted Grady and engine (Yamaha FX250 outboard) servicing company or individual in Western North Shore of Long Island ? Would appreciate any recommendations !!!!

Just did front three panels on Grady 22.5 freedom. Local guy in Port Washington did it 570.00 , stripped and replaced eisenglass. Nice job. They say the material is quite expensive.

I have a 2014 Freedom 225. My second summer. Can anyone direct me to instructions or a checklist with instructions on things I should do before I get in the water ? Engine was winterized/oil change by Marina , fresh and salt water systems as well . Would really appreciate some guidance...
