Ok, so I'm a bit embarassed about this, but here goes: Got my boat last year. 1997 Voyager. Freshwater tank had water in it..... Last summer, my freshwater transom shower started "sputtering".....so I figured it was empty. Took a garden hose to the filler, which is on the base of the port...

Anyone install aftermarket flush mounted tackle drawers on their Voyager or Journey? If so, curious where you put it, what product you used, and how the install worked out. I was thinking that I could remove the backrest cushion for the transom seat and install it there (no-one ever sits there...

Anyone know if there is a check valve in between the freshwater tank and the pump on a '97 GW 248? I bought my boat last year and freshwater worked fine. Now, it doesn't work well at all. The pump runs constantly (won't pressurize) and when I push the button on the handle, it spurts small...

So, I there are a ton of posts on this subject here, which have all really helped me out...however, I encountered a problem today in replacing two of my thru-hulls that I hadn't seen a post about....so i wanted to post my experience and see also, if anyone has the same..... Today I replaced...

My 1997 Voyager (new to me) has a forward and aft bilge pump. However, the control panel only has one switch that says "aft bilge." When I turn it on, it turns on both bilge pumps. The previous owner had added some switches and used the ACC switch for a baitwell pump.....so I know its been...

Anyone have part numbers or direction on replacement bow nav lights that will work on a 1997 248? I'm guessing they've not really changed too much over the years..... Thanks!

I'm looking to buy 4 or so, as I want to always keep two onboard and will be changing every 50 hours/6 months.....would like to find a reputable online dealer that can save me money over my local stores. Thanks!

So, I just bought a 1997 248 Voyager - it was neglected a bit by the prior owner, but is in overall good shape. The cushions in the cuddy are actually in good shape...but I can't figure out if there is supposed to be an additional filler cushion. I have the one filler cushion that goes over...

I'm replacing some thru hulls (both at and above waterline). I'm using stainless on the uppers and bronze on the lowers. What compound should I use to bed and seal them? Since they are bronze and stainless, I"m thinking they won't need replacement for a long time.... Should I use 5200 or...

Curious what recommendations are for replacing bilge pump hose. The hose I just pulled out of my Voyager for the aft bilge pump was the usual teleflex stuff that Grady puts in - think its called "bilgevac" - has that spiral reinforcement on it. anyhow - that stuff just split so easily when...

Just wanted to send out a note to endorse Getfeetwet.com. I have no affliliation with them, but have ordered some things from them. They have execllent customer service, and matched my price I found on some raymarine electronics....the best price I found. Plus, they made a mistake on...

Ok - I know I've posted alot of different questions here...but I've got a new boat coming and am trying to budget what I need to do to it. I think it is underpropped. Power is a 1997 250 OX66 EFI. Prop is an "Apollo XHS" 4 blade stainless. Size is 14 5/8 x 16. From what I've...

I've searched, but not found an answer... My GW 248 has old bottom paint...in its previous life, it was kept in a slip...now its being kept on a trailer. It looks like crap though and I want to re-paint the bottom black.... What should I use? Do I need to sand the existing bottom paint...

So, here are two pictures from my new Grady 248 (1997) - one is from under the helm console and the other is from inside the electronics box. I want to replace the old glass fuse panel with something new, and organize the wires. I also want to add a bigger bus bar. What is a good...

I need suggestions on how to deal with removing some older and somewhat corroded (but still quite usable) trim tabs, and reinstalling them. OR, perhaps you have a suggesion on how to check them. The boat previously sat in the salt....so there is some galvanic corrosion. The purpose of...

Just signed papers today on my new 1997 GW 248 Voyager! I'm in Washington and its in California, so I won't see it for a couple weeks, but I'm super excited! Will post pics as soon as I can. Deciding now on what new electronics to install....I think I"m going with a new C90W for...

Wondering if anyone out there knows if the yamaha 704 dual binnacle control will work with a suzuki outboard? Application is: OX66 250 main and a 2010 suzuki 9.9 high thrust kicker, w/ power tilt/trim. Adding a kicker and do not have enough room to put two separate controls and I don't...

So, I'm in the process of buying a "new to me" Grady - a 1997 248 voyager. Its pending survey, sea trial and engine inspection. I'm in the Pac NW and need a trolling motor. The boat is rigged w/ a single 250 OX66 EFI. The voyager has the euro transom. Another member here has a voyager...

Ok - so things are looking good on my purchase of the GW 248 Voyager....still have some hoops to jump through and a survey/engine check but....now I need to look into shipping. Any recommendations on reputable shipping companies? Southern Cali to NW Washington State.... I do not want the...

Hi folks - I've not posted much or maybe at all, but I've been reading here. I think I may have found the Grady I want to purchase. Problem is, I'm in washington state and the boat is in southern Cali. I'm debating whether to drive down and tow it up or pay for shipping.... I need to have...
