    Fuel tanks

    OK I will look for it. On the Grady Spirit 175 I think it is under the console so will need to empty all my junk out of there. I only have about 10 gallons of gas in the tank. I think I will use the method involving the squeeze bulb on the fuel lines first to see what I can do. Then if that...

    Fuel tanks

    It stops the fuel from siphoning from the tank. The standard method is to pump the fuel from the sender opening after removing the sender. This can be dangerous with the fumes and if you do it, you must use a pump approved for gasoline and make sure you discharge any static. A lot of pickup...

    Fuel tanks

    I have a Spirit 175 and am trying to find out how to drain the fuel tank due to some bad gas. I have tried siphoning from the fuel tank unlet and also by cutting the fuel line in the rear well which feeds the kicker motor. There must be some sort of anti-siphone valve in the line. Anyway if...

    GM Outboard, Game Changer?

    Exactly! Why not even more? 4MPG or 5? I know it sounds like fantasy, but I'm sure that if all this engineering spirit and energy went into this proposition.... well.... somthing would come out! I am longing for the days of solar-powered props (be them outboard or inboard or whatever)... We...

    Considering a 1991 Overnighter?

    I just sold my 1995 GW Spirit 175, which I had repowered with a 115 ETec, which I loved, but which was just a little too small for my needs here in Puget Sound where hunt and fish. I would loved to have kept it, but right now I can't afford more than one boat. I am now looking at a 1991...

    Is it normal for fuel to come out the vent

    I am a new Grady owner, just purchased a 92' 175 Spirit with a 115 Yamaha. I was filling up at the fuel dock yeesterday when I noticed fuel coming out the vent on the starboard side. Is this normal when the tank is full? The fuel gauge only shows 3/4 tank of fuel. Also later that day in the CT...

    Wow... I owned a Spirit for a few years and there is so little freeboard at the stern as well as the offset... I'm not certain how well a swim platform will work... good luck if you figure something out.

    Where are all the 17 spirits?

    Have seen no mention of a problem. I scrapped my 1971 Aristocraft 19 in 1995 when I bought the Spirit. I saved its 18 Gallon Gas tank and have stored it outside in the weather. It is easy to load in my car (MINI Cooper) to transport gas for the Spirit and has shown no symptoms of any...

    Kicker motor Yamaha T8 for 228G

    I just have a GW Spirit 175 with a Yamaha 90 and a Honda BF100 8hp kicker. I bolted a 2 foot 'teak' 2x10 to the transom and even with the 'short leg' Honda it is fine. For steering, the Y90 (in neutral for free-wheeling prop) acts as a rudder and steers fine in all but the most extreme...

    Oil Pump problems on a Yamaha

    I think the trim sender/tilt angle switches were phased out in the 1996 changes also. The new electronics in the CDI probably keep the pump from running when the engine is not operating. In the spirit of not looking for Unicorns, I think the problem is probably in the float switch...
