    Hardtop fiberglass repair

    Looks like balsa core? Cut out any bad wood from the under side. Look at anywhere where there was a screw going into or thru. If there is a lot of bad wood you can remove all wood and replace with foam core (nidacore, hexcell, divynil foam) Ditch the carpet for godsake! reglass and fair and...

    Tools, what do you have on your boat

    Ya. I have way too much. I used to have a small toolbox with no trays and everything piled in it. Got aggravated with that so now I have a three drawer toolbox that has way too many tools in it . heavy as hell. Keeps accumulating more and more when I’m working on the boat over the winter I...

    NJ fishing reports

    Went back up to the green can at Shrewsbury rocks yesterday. We got 9 keepers between three of us. Thats a boat limit! That doesn't happen often since they upped the size to 18". Again,lost a lot of jigs and lead...painful but worth it. You don't get a limit fishing in sand .

    Slight leak lower unit seep

    It can only be water (possibly mixed with exhaust ) or gear oil. If it was gear oil I think you would know because you'd have an oil slick around the boat.

    Heavy List underway

    First, if you have a set of trim tabs, raise them up and verify they are both all up. Leave them alone while you try to troubleshoot the list. Yes, not having a trim tab anode on a single motor can cause "list" when running because you are steering to compensate for not having the tab. This is...

    2003 282 Sailfish - New Fuel Vent Cover Suggestions

    Google boat tank vent fittings Get stainless steel or chrome over brass Do not buy ZAMAC or chrome/zinc. Stainless steel may run a rust line Tha Most Grady had vented fuel fills. That is probably a waste tank vent

    battery cableing

    Your info is insufficient for a response. How many motors, switches, batteries? Model and year of boat. Look at your owners manual for the diagram. You can get a pdf of your model/year owners manual at gradywhite.com

    30 year old Grady and Yamaha...what should I replace before it breaks

    Fuel tank probably needs replacing if original. The cost of that deterimines what else you do. ( for a 19' boat you could just replace with a generic Moeller plastic tank that fits) Deck drain hoses!!!!!! Shift/throttle cables clean out out remote oil tank, replace tiny filter on remote oil...
