    Google Ads

    It has been a year and a week since Google Ads took over the site, how’s that working out? I’m sure that you run analytics on a regular basis, how many new members in the last year? How many first time users in the last year have stuck around? What’s the average number of people logged in at one...

    A Must Watch For GW Owners

    I don’t think there was anything actionable in the video, unless it was copyright violation on some of the photos or videos. BUT, how in the world did this photo ever get past any pre-publication editor!

    Head

    This is a porta potty with holding tank, and a choice between dockside and offshore pumping. It has a macerator, a Y-valve, and a seacock. If you don't have hoses that we can't see coming out the back of the potty, it is self-contained, and dumped by hand. You could have dockside only, which...

    Trim tabs getting damaged when forklift lifts boat

    Hard to believe grady would have done that at the factory. Are you the original owner, and are they the original tabs? When fully up, is the flat portion of the tab tight against the hull bottom, or is there a gap between? If so, someone may have put the wrong cylinders, or mounted the top...

    Put a hat on my 2010 Tournament 225

    There are also the hard plastics, like Makrolon aka Tuffak in 0.040 thickness, that do not roll up, if you leave your canvas up most of the time. Storage is a problem if you do want an open boat for the day, but sounds like you are at a home dock. I would definitely want that for the 3 smaller...

    Stereo side piece

    If they are thru-bolted, with a nut on the backside, you could probably use the same holes for smaller bolts. If you are using screws, it looks like you could carefully drill new hole above and below the existing ones.

    Put a hat on my 2010 Tournament 225

    I would get a quote for a custom made enclosure, and then see how much I could sell the bimini canvas, frame, and enclosure for, as a package, and see how the math works out. You will be much happier if it does. Your bimini frame fits inside the side windows, and appears significantly narrower...

    Does this Pass the Smell Test....

    The boat in the video is for sale farther down on this same forum page. The boat in the 2 pics is not the same boat, or the same year.

    2001 Grady White 282 Sailfish - Macerator, Tank level monitor & Toilet pump assembly Install

    “ What do you use to clean old wires?” Can’t really clean wires, but you can clean the connectors on the ends. Use a small brass toothbrush sized brush, a soft wire wheel, or a chemical cleaner like jewelry cleaner. Even better, if there is corrosion showing in the wiring, is to cut the ends...

    2001 Grady White 282 Sailfish - Macerator, Tank level monitor & Toilet pump assembly Install

    You got the job done, so that's what counts. What did you miss? GLOVES AND A BUCKET! As soon as I saw the corroded connectors on the old wiring harness, they were suspect. Did you check the power to the old switch with the switch removed, checking wiring only? When you got the dim light on the...
