    Anybody seen or got pics of the new Grady Hull colors?

    Wow, blue Grady's. I was thinking of painting mine next year, it would have been unique. I suspect not so much anymore! Be strange seeing colorful Grady's everywhere.

    Trim Tabs not working

    Yeah I saw that wire last night, need to trace it. Am I correct in thinking that there is likely an inline on that wire?

    Trim Tabs not working

    Thanks Gerry, I will check there. Also I have been reading that the orange wire on the back of the tabs may also contain an inline.
