    Pics of Grady without stripes?

    Removed the stripes from my 240 Offshore over the winter. Makes it look like a whole different boat. Like drbatts said, after she was buffed and waxed, made the hull look a lot cleaner. Try to get a pic soon.

    88 240 Offshore Fish Box Drains

    Thanks Rainmaker. I am all set with the thru hulls though. I am replacing the last two, the ones that drain the fish boxes. What I am looking for is the actual plastic drains that are inside the fish boxes.

    88 240 Offshore Fish Box Drains

    I did a search on this topic and the closest anyone has found is the forespar drains. The fish box drains are 1" threads and the hole is plenty big enough for the drain. The problem is that the fiberglass is contoured to fit the 1-15/16" flange size. The forespar 1-3/4" flange does not fill...

    88 240 Offshore Fish Box Drains

    I am trying to replace the fish box drains on my 88 240 Offshore. I did a search and couldn't find any information on exact replacements. I tried the forespar drains, but the flange size is not correct. The forespar flange is 1-3/4". The old drain flange is approx 1-15/16". Anybody have any...

    Gunwale water system Offshore 24

    If you are trying to remove it now and just fill in temporarily, then just fasten a piece of starboard of marine ply using the same holes as the faucet assembly. If you want to remove it all together, then you are going to have to get into some fiberglass and gelcoat. If you want to replace...

    Suggestions for a replacement switch panel for 1988 sailfish

    I second what capthec posted. Scott made me a custom switch panel for my 88 24 Offshore. Top notch work, and a great guy to do business with. He will even walk you through the final wiring of the switch panel at the helm if you need any help. Make sure you check the condition of the all the...

    In the middle of doing the same thing now. look for a post by conshykid for the an 89 Offshore rewire and bulkhead replacement. I am doing exactly the same things. All new fuse panels, buss bars, circuit breakers, etc. All of it Blue Seas. I am completely rewiring the boat. It's amazing...

    88 24' Offshore Thru Hull Transducer and Deadrise

    Want to replace old thru hull transducer(not even hooked up anymore) with an Airmar B60 tilted element. Not sure if the 12 or 20 deg is correct. Airmar suggests mounting it as close to center of keel as possible. The keel in that location is rounded. I would think that the 12 deg would work...

    rear scuppers

    check southco.com for stainless deck drains. i also have an issue with scuppers being underwater when the boat is at rest. i am going to do a little planning this offseason and hopefully raise the thru hull scuppers and move the deck drains, so that i still have the proper fall for drainage...

    Scuppers and engine in water

    I agree about not putting a shut off valve at the scupper. I have a 24' Offshore with twin 150 evinrudes on an armstrong bracket. My scuppers are underwater. I always check the boat after a hard rain and there is never any standing water on the deck, so the deck drains are doing their job...
