wow that's not good. The only way to know if that transom is wet or rotted is to drill a 1/8 hole somewhere near the middle and the bottom center into the wood. if the wood is wet or dry the drill bit ill tell the tale, if the wood on the bit it wet I would let the hole sit open overnight...

As stated the pump should not continue to run unless the pressure switch was bad or leaking, the pump should prime and stop when it gets to pressure limit. I wired my radio to its own on/off switch with the accessory. Works better than wiring it to the ignition switch, on some engines...

I stopped using any of the wax products for 4 years now, Use the Magic buff and pro polish now. I get compliments all the time on how my mid 80's grady shines. It lasts from spring to late fall. Not to say the wax did not shine better, because it did. But the pro polish lasts longer...on...

I hope Grady will help you out, imo they should honor some kind of reimbursement if you have to get this replaced. Its always due to that stupid alum cap. And those brass tubes. When I ripped mu outer skin off I was able to see exactly were if failed, just look for the black areas of the...

thanks that pic is what I was looking for, you have the same transom, my batts are split one port and one stb, do you find yourself using the port tab allot when you have the motor mounted? does it list to stb?

I am pulling the trigger getting 15hp etec kicker/trolling motor for my 86 204c for the fall bass season. I need some advise on mounting. I do not have a swim plat form so I am assuming it can go on either side. I am not sure where to mount it exactly on the transom (the bracket), I mean how...

to add , learning to back into a slip will be a valuable asset to your capt skills. A good time to practice is when your marina empties in the fall, find big slips and practice on them going into smaller and smaller slips. after doing that a few dozen times you will find yourself getting...

you may want to check that hp rating I think the max is 225hp on the overnighter models? 200 is about the max you need on the overnighter.

As stated the 150hp is fine and 4strokes will weigh down the transom on older models. The 2 stroke 175-200hp class is perfect motor for this class grady. It wont disappoint.

I have been looking to replace my old cabin windows (slide open type) on my 86 204c. all the seals are rotted out, they don't open, and they leak. What would be my best option for replacing these? I like the idea of having a window that opens in the cabin..(porta potty). Does anyone know...

Cut a round hole for a 5in screw in deck plate in the back of the jump seat so you can access the hose connection real easy. Install the deck plate when done the cushion will cover the deck plate.

yes carb rebuild time and check when the last time the vro pump was rebuild, it runs on engine pulse to deliver fuel. Check vac lines by removing them, and inspect them. My parts were worn a bit, more throttle the better it ran. And it stalled a few min after idle. Pump rebuld kit is onlt...

Marlin is my favorites, one day I may get the cash to get one but for now its ....work, work ,work. GL with her she is a beauty !

The shake siphon is awsome1, empties a 5gal can in 3 min. To keep it working spray it with seafoam "deep creep" before storage it will keep the ball clean. I have had mine for years and only recently had to change the hose due to drying out.

I have an 86 overnighter, the stb side vent wind broke. ( the small one that opens to let air into the console) Does anyone know of a place to get a new one, on line order or in local purchase NJ area? Thanks.

I would recommend the seastar xtreme nfb.... http://www.seastarsolutions.com/product ... -steering/ Totally worth it, as good as hyd in my opinion

yes, best investment for the 20' overnighters. easy to install yourself and save about 400$

if you planning on taking it into the ocean I would go with more hp- 150 for 190 and 175-200-- for the overnighter. If you boat in fresh water on a lake the 130 will be all you need provided you keep the weight down and dont plan on towing tubes or skis.
