    NY Boat Show, some dissapointment

    BTW did you see the onboard engine flushing ports? They save you the trouble of stepping into the splash well to hook up the hose. The one guy I talk to did not know to much about those. He thinks it was something that Grady and Yamaha came up with and that Yamaha may come out with those. I...

    NY Boat Show, some dissapointment

    It sure was. The show is half the size it was. Although a lot of companies had gone under since the economy tanked and others just want exhibit at New York due to the expense. The Grady stand looked nice this year with a few more boats. They should not have done away with the boarding steps...

    Boat Junkyards?

    I always wondered the same. Especially after Sandy too. I would like to get the TV housing shell for the Marlin. This is the only place I know of for mostly out of new surplus out of production stuff. I guess you would have to go there and pick through the place...

    Evinrude G2's / Marlin 300....Splash day!

    Those things look weird and awesome. How did you do for the season? Also I got to know, do they tilt all the way out of the water??????? This is my only disappointment with Yamaha.

    Fischer Panda generator issue

    Yes I did. Ordered up a new and sent pictures. Fisher Panda stepped up and stood behind their product. I am ecstatic. Not counting Grady it is nice to see true customer service, this is something you don't see much of these days. The people in Florida were nice to talk with. Thank you so much...

    Fischer Panda generator issue

    Ran the generator a few weeks ago at the dock just to run it because it has been sitting for a month. Wanted to change the oil before getting pulled out for the winter. Ran it again for 10 minutes to warm the oil. As I opened the deck hatch I could smell some smoke. Though maybe just exhaust...

    Rust from Marlin fishbox drain.

    I have been bleeding rust from the fishbox thru-hull fitting for a few years. The inside and outside of the hose looks to be dry rotted and the wire wrap is rusting. Tried to get at the double clamps on the fitting, but my shoulder against the stringer my arm is a foot and half to short. Even...

    Did your headliner survive this winter?

    I had Grady sent out the guys from Long Island to fix a major crack in the headliner back in 2012. This has been a known problem for the Northeast Grady owners. After this winter with the yo-yo temperatures going down to 6 degrees then back to the 40's and back down again, I got a short crack...

    F250 lower mount corrosion

    Just messed with them today to see if the bolts could come out if I cut the head. It did look a lot worse until I knocked of the scale. Much of the washer is still intact and the bolt head will still grip a 19mm open ended. I tighten everything back up and Boe-shieled and greased what I could...

    F250 lower mount corrosion

    Anybody had to deal with this yet? Thinking about cutting off the bolts and install new ones from the outside so I don't have to take apart the power head. [/album][/album]

    6 year old F250 maintence+FP generator

    Yes I did do the F filter since it is easy to get at. I did change it two years ago without pulling the intake. They too started to turn color but not as bad as the ones I took off then. I was hoping to be able to reuse the rubber intake seals over again due to the cost at 20 bucks each for...

    Trim tilt rams

    I just did the short twin rams on mine. The one that doesn't tilt the engine up all the way. They would dribble a little oil. Got the tool from the guy who makes on E-bay with the 4 pins. With a short pipe it works great. There is a lip seal in the head and an o-ring under the cap. Very easy...

    6 year old F250 maintence+FP generator

    Best thing to do is jamb your left knee in by the full tank and place a board across the stringer to kneel on and hang over the back of the generator. I can't seem to get these picture to load to fit the screen. Right click view picture in seperate window to view...

    6 year old F250 maintence+FP generator

    Decided to tackle the VST filter this year on 2007 F250 Yamaha's with 373 hours. After seeing the filter element I was glad to change them. I had a lot of what I guess was phase separation in the fuel last year. I would dump the filters out into a jar and you could see what looked like heavy...

    Grady Web site virus

    Thanks guys. Hope it ain't me. I saw a warning come up about a month ago on a Bing search before going to the site. Norton was fine then. Today at work the company's Websense program is now blocking the site. Maybe just a false-positive. This is my Norton search results. I can't post the...

    Grady Web site virus

    The Grady White web site is being blocked by google and bing when searched. Webs sense at work is blocking it and my Norton search is also flagging it for computer threats. Don't know whats going on or if they even know about it.

    Electrical Connectors for Washdown Pump

    Those connecters they use are called Deutsch connector. They are reusable, you just need to crimp on new pins or sockets. You have to pop out the cap or inner wedge to get at the release tabs. The crimp tool is about 300 hundred bucks but Matco came out with a cheap tool to crimp on the...

    dreaded headliner crack

    thanks megabytes. I wish I was closer to you. I would love to use someone that is recommended. I would have to run 120 miles one way to Summers Point marina were the boat was sold. Hobby Lobby would be a lot closer to me but from what I heard from other Grady owners these people do not want...
