No ill intent by this proposal, but is it time for a Grady transom sticky? Or "What to look for when buying an older Grady"? Seems like we have on average 2 threads a week on this subject. Not that I want to hide anything, but it isn't helping the brand or our resale. It would be similar to...

...even if you don't have a trailer!

I'm likely going to be replacing a battery or 3 this off season. The boat is set up with the standard GW 3 battery system for twins and 2 switches. I'm considering going to a dual purpose LiFePo chemistry from Ionic. If I do this I'm also considering going from 3 batteries to 2. The 2x 100 ah...

Stuck myself badly today for the 1st time ever. Went entirely through my middle finger. Check out the video on you tube. The technique is actually what the ER used and I could have done it offshore and saved my day and expense. I would advise numbing with ice 1st.

My 270 holding tank issues still aren't over. Last year we couldn't pump out the holding tank and ended up sucking out the float switch. After clearing that out of the line, all the the ick came out. Fast forward to the present: only 2 people used the head this year - just water. Both opened...

I started out with Solas (Suzuki) L3 Plus 15 ⅝ x 23 props. Traction was awful. I could only get them to bite if the engines were 100% tucked in. I could only slightly trim out before they would lose bite unless I was +35 mph. Sent them back to Ken at Prop Gods. He suggested Mercury Eco Enertia -...

My old f150's had zero power with batteries off. The new Zukes have been set up to allow for the trim/tilt to work, but all else is off. Is that typical for all engines these days? Aside from someone accidentally hitting a button, is there any issue here?

Every man has to make his mark. Here I go: If my f150's are manufactured in 10/04, does that make them 04 or 05 models? I ask for a couple reasons. When I look up parts, the models only show up on parts diagrams as 05. It's possibly other sites might show data for 04, but I haven't seen it...

The PO of my boat claimed he never used the head. I assumed the holding tank must be empty. I've had some issues with backflow into the bowl, but I have not yet checked the joker vavle. I know the system has at least a gallon or 2 of water in it. Went to pump the tank (vacuum system) out and...

Over winter there was another member who created a thread for me to post photos of his trailer setup. My setup actually looked better than his, but my stability was terrible. I'm happy to report it is fixed. That said I'm blown away as to the cause. Here are things I checked and rechecked: *...

The weather strip fell off my battery switch door. I have tried EVERYTHING and I mean everything to get something to stick to this surface and nothing will. I've tried: - 3m automotive tape - Gorilla tape for polyethylene - The stickiest carpet tape known to man - Duct tape - 4200 - Seadek...

I registered for an MMSI on the USPS.org site. The site does not say how, or when I will get the number. After registering, the site shows I have no registration or MMSI number. Is this typical or do I have a glitch?

Little winter project. Out with the old, In with the new...

Im running a new transducer. I'd prefer to drill where there is no coring. The bottom of the splash well isn't cored, but I can't tell if these areas are. Anyone know if GW typically cores the side walls of the splash well? Tapping on these spots sounds similar to the deck.

Aft fresh water shower. I know it isn't Scandvik 12153. 2005 Islander

I currently have an in hull transducer with a Ray marine c80. I'm likely going with a new Garmin with a transom mounted transducer. I really hate the thought of drilling a large hole anywhere on the boat for the cable, but I don't have any choice if I want side scan capability. At this point my...

I need 9' of stripes for a 2005 270. The ebay guy doesn't carry the profile below. Anyone know of another source or dealer who might have a good selection?

I've seen many people with 270s that have removed these to do surface mount for their electronics. Mine is set up this way, but I rather have the door back on to enclose my electronics. If you have one you want to get rid of, let me know.

More specifically, the Jabsco electric pump conversion system on our new to us 270. Oddly both the upper and lower macerator housings were chipped on the outside causing or contributing to a leak. I thought replacing the lower housing (by far the worst of the 2) would be sufficient to get it to...
