By control, you mean the switches? Power to dash switches/breakers is daisy chained so its possible that you have a loose connection on the switches.

So long as your transom is completely flat across, you can do it from outside. It seems all Gradys are flat. Leaving at least 4 inches all around. Never cut to the corners/bottom or you are screwed. It is MUCH easier from the outside. Some boats have angles in the transom. You can't just cut...

Yep just a simple spacer. You could go crazy and glass some plywood and match gelcoat. or you could just space it with 2x4s and trim the 4 edges with PVC board. The pix helped. I was assuming you had a pedestal. Arrigoni makes a pedestal extension. I raised mine 6" so I'm not looking at...

For bottom fishing the best choice is GT51M-TH (thru hull) This is a two channel, all in one Traditional and Side vu. If you can, mount a single TH on the centerline near the transom without a fairing. This is my primary transducer and it works great at speed for everything. You could live...

Both the same. If you read above somewhere I say I used the sink strut for size because I didn't have the livewell strut anymore.

but I was worried about hitting debris or a log and causing more damage This is not a thing... Thats a big hole to fill...Leave it where it is. Use it trolling and drifting. Assuming you have two inputs on your sonar...Get a thru hull with a 50/200khz. (B265LH) Put it centerline about...

make sure the holes did not get widened. That would require drilling/filling/drilling

This post may help you make some https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/plastic-tub-repair.34536/ Basically you use epoxy/glass over packing tape to make a rim and then build a box under it

you're better off waiting until you are out

What size wire was on the breaker? Where did that wire come from? What size wire was on the up/down switch? What size wire connects to the wires of the winch? My Grady had factory 10 awg marked "windlass" up in the anchor locker...not connected...no windlass. I would hope that Grady didn't run...

its all in here https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/transom-maintenance.37746/

heheheheh running hard too many times in SW wind, 3 to 5 ft for 40...60 miles.... isn't abuse, its proper use.... ;) You'd be surprised how crazy heavy those Grady hump tops are. Good luck with the repair.

There are most likely wires in rear starboard leg and across rear horizontal if you have spreader lights. Also wires in any pipe from helm to upper ebox. ALL wires need to come out or you risk welding one or all of them to the inside of the pipes. I had one fixed on my V20 while it was on the...

There is a menu in Garmin/Sonar for Transducer Diagnostics. Usually a "GT" transducer will have XID which tells the MFD/sonar what xducer you have and it sets the parameters automatically. If they spliced or if they used an 8 pin adapter, they may not have the XID wired. There is a hidden menu...
