My new to me older Grady is pretty solid but on the deck I do have a couple spots with chipping gel coat. Things dropped, old, etc? They are spots about 1 square inch or smaller. Two to three spots. Also no the floor is not soft. Any recommendations on small repairs? Also does anyone have any...

All my 1994 228G blue bump tail around boat is faded and a little damaged in a couple spots. Has anyone replaced it? How difficult wa it and time consuming? I know the materials I can get from IMC who makes the stuff for Grady. Any tips would be helpful. Videos even better from YouTube.

Did that work for you? I have same steering and issue.

Yeah I was worried about the bond between bracket and transom. If you have tips in the future if I do it. Def would like to know once I loosen remove motor, then bolts/washer/nuts that hold bracket to transom. What is best to remove bracket without damaging transom? Not sure what Grady used if...

Here are pictures of the bolts that broke during outboard removal from the Gil bracket. I tried the easy out on one of them it’s not budging. I do plan to try one more time with heat and more fluid.

Sounds easy. Yes. But lots have posted issues when removing and just don’t want to open another can of worms. The bracket has been installed for 30 years. The stories on removing Grady Gil brackets scare me. :)

PNW. I saw your post about painting bracket. Mine is a 1994 228. I’m going to have it sand blasted this week. Then I might paint it myself if I can figure out a way to keep it warm. Any chance you would be willing to chat on phone about experience and how it’s held up?
