I have recently purchased a 2004 282. The previous owner must have modified the switch, since the tank fill on the Yamaha gauge reads only the Aux tank. Grady told me that this switch would toggle between the main tank and the aux tank for determining the amount of fuel on the gauge. Well...

I am in a very preliminary stage of looking at upgrading. At various boat shows, I have climbed on the Pursuit and always came away more impressed with the Grady lineup, but that could be my clouded vision of the brand. I do like my Grady White design and features. Now, I want to upgrade, and...

Short story: Trailered my boat the other night from house to Marina, late, in heavy rain. I stopped at gas station, filled up boat gas tank, and apparently forgot to screw fuel cap on. Trailered to destination, dropped trailer, and left. This was Three nights ago. Marina put boat in...
