I was just noticing the padding around the cockpit stating to wear, has anyone done this excercise & how difficult is it to remove & replaced with the new padding and material?

Thanks LUNDINROOF, sorry for not getting back to you sooner I have not been back on the forum until today. Thank you very much for the offer,I would be more than happy to meet some other GW owners for an ale if ever in Australia. I now have the pump out fixed ended up having to purchase the...

Looks like the only place i can purchase is Groco online which is $US 627. Croco dont have an agent in Australia and the New Zealand distributor is quoting me $1200 to cover delivery which is getting real expensive. I cheacked on a couple of US websites and they sell for around $US 515 but they...

Thanks Brian, I am not sure if i could fit a bigger tank on my 268 or the logistics of getting an entire tank sent from the USA. If possible I would prefer to replace the pump with either a Groco or other if they work just to see how it goes as we are in the middle of our summer so we are using...

Hi Guys- we have pulled it all apart now and it was blocked up but I beleiev that the pump has had its last day. Could I get some advice please on where to get a replacement, i dont think i can get it in Australia so may have to get it sent from USA. I beleiev the unit is a Grocco GP-50...

Thanks Guys I will give it a go, I just bought some blue cleaner and filled the tank with water yesterday & I will pump the holding tank out at the marina today hopefully. Will let you know how I go, i am not sure if I can get a repalcement pump over here in Australia easily if I need it.

Thanks for the information so far, to answer your question when I push the macerator botton I have no noise from the pump just the lights dim so the motor must be blocked or no good. I will have a look at pulling the motor out at this stage I am not even sure how to get access to it?

We had a great day out on the water at jibbon just south of Sydney, enjoyed a few beers from a keg on the beach, a couple of snags on a bread roll and the weather was a perfect 34 C degrees. Probably 300 boats at the beach everyone having a great Australia Day.

I have a 268 Islander 1997 which has an "electric head" with holding tank fitted from the factory. the problem I have is the boat pump out does not work, the lights show how full the holding tank is but the only way to empty is too have a marina pump out manually. The problem with this is the...

As one of the other guys mentioned get a swivel shackle where the anchor attaches to the chain. This will also help with the anchor always loading the correct way up when coming onto your bow rollers or bow sprit. This will also help with the anchor setting correctly and not upside down when you...

I have a 268 with twin F225's but we wakeboard behind our Supra 21V. I prefer to have a seperate dedicated Wakeboard boat and a dedicated fishing boat. We would not think od skiing or wakeboarding behind the Grady?

I have also been looking , have a look at this link as this company is now the official supplier for Yamaha. These covers protect the engine and also reduce engine noise and look very smart. They do also supply to the USA http://www.outboardcovers.com.au/yamaha.htm

sorry to butt in but I have the same problem with a 268 Islander, would it have the same wipers?

I am pretty new to the Grady scene and to date I have been keeping the motors trimmed all the way down and just using the trim tabs. In a couple of more recent forums I have noticed people talking about trimming the motors also to increase Revs etc. Could I get some advice please I am used to...

Thanks Brian for your help, I will make some inquiries about 17 & 19 inch props today. It would be great to be able to test a couple of options?

I just checked the props and they say 21M which I guess is 21 inch. I have 3/4 fuel and bascially no other weight in fishing gear and on ly 1 person on board. Max revs were 5200 and 42 miles per hour which I beleieve with twin F225 Yamahas is both down on revs and top speed. I am sure with 3-4...

I have 3 batteries and 3 switches, definitely use the deep cycle for your accesories that is perfect and the others for your starter batteries.

Our exchange rate is pretty good, around .94 so close to the same

Thanks for the info guys, I just called the local Yamaha dealer and they said the prop size will be in between the blades on the stainless ones. They also said that each prop will be $1000 for one and nearly $1500 for the counter rotating one (wouldn't want to be changing these too often)...

Thanks guys for the help so far, I will check the numbers on the props and also see what revs/speed the boat is doing and get back to you
