    HELP Me choose the right Grady!!!!

    I bought my 2002 Tournament in 2007 for $27,500 so would agree with the other comment that the price is high. Mine came with 1 Yamaha F225, electronics, life vests, full canvas and trailer as well. I found it on Boattrader.com where you can really get a good idea on pricing. I just took a...

    Waxing

    So I got the bright idea to wax my boat while it was on the trailer coming back from my fuel system issue service. I used McGuires marine wax on the hull and for the life of me could not buff it out. I even used a buffing pad on the end of my cordless drill! I could see a cloudiness when...

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    Talked to my mechanic again and he thinks the junk in the VST is from last year when he replaced the fuel pump and didn't completely flush everything out. He can't figure out how he left junk in there but he says it is not hoses since it was brown and not black. They are going to cut me a...

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    My mechanic had my motor opened up today and said a brown material had partially clogged the filter in the VST. I pumped out most of the gas that was in the tank using two different filters and there was not much gunk in the combo fuel filter water separator. He is going to tilt the boat up...

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    I talked to my marina where my boat is waiting for service for the clogged VST filter about the 2 micron filter and they said it was too hard on the fuel pump and do not recommend it. Thoughts from those who have switched from 10 microns to 2? I guess if the fuel is clean there is less of an...

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    I called Racor at 1-800-272-7537 to see if the Racor S3220SUL Ff/Ws Marine Gas 2 Micron would replace my Sierra 18-7845. The tech support looked it up and assured me that it would.

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    I purchased the Racor 2 micron fuel filter and water separator and was wondering if after I pump the gas out and get the tank and lines flushed whether it's over kill to use the 2 micron filter after the normal 10 micron filter in series. Is that overkill? Any fuel flow issues? Given the 10...

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    After talking to service manager, the problem is likely a small filter in the VST. Particles form in the gas from water getting ionized from the electric pump. Some of that junk got past the gas filter & water separator and is partially blocking that filter restricting gas flow. Got on the...

    Grady White Fuel Tank

    My boat does sit a lot. I average 2 outings a month when the weather is good which is most of the year in the New Orleans area. I have used the appropriate amount of Sea Foam for my 96 gallon tank. I have also recently been told to try the Lucas Fuel Treatment and/or Marvel Mystery Oil. I...
