    My 12” Garmin display is black

    My screen is totally black. I’ve tried performing the three button presses of the power switch to force it to change to daytime brightness levels. I did the testing with a dark cover over my head and the display so it’s not a sunlight brightness issue. (I am familiar with the problem of...

    Jabsco electric toilet 29200–0120, GW valve settings

    I have a 2021 235 with a Jabsco electric toilet 29200–0120. Jabsco’s Manual tells you a lot more about installation than use and they of course have no idea how Grady white might have routed the plumbing to the toilet. GW’s Head use Manual isn’t very helpful either. They don’t tell me what...

    Towing a GW 235 with BMW X5?

    I’m needing to buy a vehicle for minimal towing my GW 235. Weight m: 6000 pounds with trailer. The BMW X5 is rated for 7200 pounds. The X5 weighs 5000# and its wheelbase is 117 inches. The 7200# X5’s rating probably regards pulling power and stopping/braking power, but not necessarily...

    Removing a bolster problems

    I can’t figure out how to get my side bolsters off my 2021 235 Freedom. I see the 3/8” diameter drain holes on the bottom of the bolster pad but I just see foam inside.

    Steering system layout? 2021 GW 235 Freedom

    Can anyone point me to some good resources to identify the Seastar model numbers for the components of this steering system? The main components would be the helm, power assist pump, and then the actuator (piston) on the motor. My pump is whining. A GW salesman told me “they all sound this...

    Electrical schematics for Grady Freedom 235?

    According to my contact at Grady white, they don’t publish any kind of schematics for their boats. This makes troubleshooting quite difficult.

    Mold normal inside console? 2021 GW Freedom 235.

    Is it normal for the metal diamond pattern deck inside the starboard console to become black with mold? I don’t see this black mold in the battery compartment in the stern. It’s just in this console area. I’m wondering if I don’t have some trapped water somewhere, causing water to condense...
