Same for my Freedom. It was installed in the partition behind the helm. I had to get down and lay on the deck to see it. It takes a maximum of a 32GB card which is a bit archaic - you don't find those in stores around here. I have a bunch of sports cameras and the smallest card I had was a...

I'm looking for some advice on how to outfit for short stints out on the Chesapeake Bay in the dark. I've waded through most of what I can find on THT and other sites on radar choices but nearly all of those discussions I've found are centered around sport fishing, seeing birds, etc. Honestly...

Price? Age? Miles on it?

There are several reasonably close by. It would be interesting to know if any of the boatels around here have suffered any damage during a hurricane or severe weather. I'm in a very protected little cove so I'm not too worried about wave action but definitely large surge has to be planned for...

If you're looking for a less expensive option Shady Rays are working fine for me.

Yeah, but, uh, they're not white....All the cool kids have the white digital control Yamahas.

The out piles are 12' off the dock piles so the slip is very large for my Freedom 275 at 8.5' wide. If the lift weren't there, I'd put lines fore and aft on the out piles with a lot of slack and then spring lines to keep it off the dock. I'm concerned that even if I bottom the lift I'll still...

We're coming in to season where bad weather can happen. We've been on the water for 25 years so we've seen the worst of it being Isabel with around 8' of storm surge. Back at that time I had a Sea Ray 330 Sundancer at the dock in the photo below with no lift. I just put a couple of spring...

I liked the solution suggested using wing nuts on carriage bolts that I went ahead with the dock installation. I replaced a total of four deck boards, two near the center for support, and one on each end for drilling and mounting. It's solid, cantilevered out of the way, and will be easy to...

Update and mystery solved: according to GW, since there's no other AC on the boat other than the battery charger, no provision was made to easily see an indication of shore power present. I'll probably not routinely plug it in to my shore power unless I'm leaving the boat on the lift for weeks...

It clearly states in the manual that with the battery switches off that it's still supplying power to the radio to save presets, etc. and of course the bilge pumps. To be clear, this is a brand new boat and I'm not seeing any depletion of the batteries between uses but was just advised that...

Yep, have the manual but it’s mounted in a place that I’d have to remove a sealed deck plate to see it. I appreciate all the responses and I thought this would be an easy answer I was just missing. I’m contacting Grady for their answer.

Yep, got all that and have reviewed. There’s nothing in there that I can find about an indication that shore power is present. There’s an indicator for reverse polarity but that’s it - unless I’m just missing it which is entirely possible.

Nope.

30A shore power NEMA receptical with breaker. Sitting at my dock on shore power with engines off and everything turned on the batteries are reading 12.8V and 12.4V.

No AC breaker panel as the only AC device on the boat is the battery charger. I found the charger in the bilge but I'm going to need a long retractible mirror thingy to see the lights on it. I'd have to pull up the sealed deck plates to really get to it.

New Grady White owner here with the first of the many questions I'll have mastering my 2024 Freedom 275. Given that there are some drains on the batteries when everything is shutdown and the battery switches are off, I'm thinking it's important to plug the boat in to my dock power whenever it's...

Here's a photo of the dock: During big storm surge events the dock deck can be underwater. Doesn't happen very often but every few/several years and it might happen when I'm not here to do anything about it. It's making me second guess putting the box cantilevered off the dock itself and...

I've got a 5' wide wooden deck on my home dock off the Chesapeake Bay and I'm looking to add a large (96")dock box. An option I'm considering is to replace a set of the 5'x2"x8" deck boards with 7-8' boards leaving a cantilevered deck onto which I'd mount the box. I've priced cantilever mounting...

I'm pretty new to GW ownership but I'm told that the wiring on my 275 Freedom runs up and through the T-top structure. I'm just guessing that's the path of the Fusion sound system wiring. I'm thinking a quick call to GW or your local GW outfitter/dealer can tell you.
