No, no petrified wires!

I really appreciate ALL the input! You all have valuable advice. Just to clarify, this is a 1992 Explorer, with an aux tank. Someone has been in there well before me. This is my 3rd season with this "work in progress" . The old tank wasn't grounded to anything, nor did the sending unit work. I...

Ok, that being said, there is 1 red wire for the sending unit, is that correct or is something missing.

I am in the process of installing a new fuel tank. The original tank was only bonded to the aux tank, with neither being grounded. So now the question is, where should I ground the tank, I don't want to connect to the battery ground. Thank you to anyone who knows.

I have used unwaxed gelcoat from Spectrum, and added the wax at mixing.

I am about to purchase Total Boat Total Tread Paint. Has anyone used this before, and tried mixing their wet edge paint in to get a close matching color for Grady?

I have been using Interlux 33 for years , along with the Primacon Primer. I have followed instructions to the letter, yet still have a jungle growing off my trim tabs every year! What do you all use on your underwater metal, and do you have good results?!

Damn! That explains why he didn't smell the gas. I'm sorry this happened to your friend. That was not me with the leaf blower, but is it OK if I use a lighter to peek inside the tank?

Good advice on the tank, thank you. Either way the tank will last as long as I need it!

so, he blew himself up changing a bilge pump under the shrink wrap? Obviously he had some serious issues with his fuel tank leaking! That is the only way of an explosion happening. He didn't smell anything at all? He didn't disconnect the batteries? I put more faith in the internet jackass...

I am in the process of replacing my second tank on my second Grady. I purchased the first tank in 2019, and the manufacturer told me to barrier coat the tank, then attach the mounting strips. This time around, they told me NOT to barrier coat or anything. The reason is that if there were a...

well I'm having fun replacing a fuel tank! 92 Explorer

Stainless steel tanks? I never heard of that. They must cost a fortune!

Just to maybe make you feel better, many tanks last much longer. I have a 92 Explorer, which I am just now replacing, even though I have no problems with it. Does your tank look fairly clean under the inspection hatches? I would worry more if there is a load of gunk all over the tank. My opinion...

So, if you have your rope in the locker, you deploy the anchor under the rail and tie off to the cleat..you say you use the bow rail like a roller, and pull the line up and over the rail. Then what, you take all that line and put it back in the locker by going under the rail again?

Soi what then, do you have to feed everything under the bow rail again?

well, you are going to have to pay someone to recore it, or do it yourself. Probably around a grand to have someone do it.

hey Hookup1 I posted on the Grady owners page on FB about replacing my tank and hatch repair, you sent me here, would you be able to link me to your posts you told me about, thanks!

Mine is a 92 Explorer, outside under shrink with a door, in Conn. I will be pulling the soft tank hatch soon, and inspect. My heat is a heater buddy with an external tank.
