Black Grady Beautiful looking job on the paint. I've never used it but I understand that the awlgrip is about as good as it gets. I have the Lee 18' outriggers on our grady and they also have an expansion sleeve that allows them to fit the holders. This proides a surface that is slicker for...

Our 2004 GW 282 has the typical Yam 225's. They are propped with the stock 19 ML stainless Saltwater series props.

thanks for the input. Will Plexis remove the scratches?

livewell leaking I will double check but I'm pretty sure that I did. It is the valve on the port side and in line is open and 90 degrees is closed? Could the pickup overpower the valve at higher speeds?

Generator on a 282 I researched having a Panda gen set installed on my 282 and saw a custom installatioin that I liked very much. The gen set was installed where the fishbox is located on the starboard side. The problem was the cost. It was $20,000 for the gen set and custom instal. This was...

I would like to be able to use my livewell on my 282 sailfish for dry storage when I don't need it as a livewell. I have tried shutting the through hull in the stern and then putting a large rubber stopper in the drain in the livewell to prevent water intrusion that way. We put several boxes of...

What is the best product to use to clean and care for my Eisenglas? I make sure to hose the salt off with freshwater and then use an Absorber (chamois) to dry them. I have some scratches and scuffs from rolling them up when in MX. A friend with a lot of boating experience swears by Pledge...
