    Now have photos -- Seeking help with how to replace windshield wiper on Freedom 235

    The first thing to try is a new blade after a good cleaning with fresh water and mild soap. You should also check that the current wiper arm is applying the proper pressure to the blade. I don't recommend any windshield protectants like Rain-X. That goes double for plastics like isinglass, Your...

    A/C unit will not discharge water

    Did it ever work and discharge water this season? Did you check that the sea cock for raw water is open? When you say it stopped working, did it completely shut down or did it just blow warm air? It would also help to know the make and model at some point in the conversation.

    Comparable pricing model

    A leftover should be a never sold boat. That kind of boat may not have electronic or other options making it difficult to compare apples to apples. My feeling is that a used boat of the same model year as a 'leftover' is generally a better deal with the caveat 'let the buyer beware'. Whatever...

    2002 F225 Unknown hoses

    if the second picture is of the coil pack and ECU, I might think that the ECU is water cooled. That would be obvious in the service manual cooling diagrams.

    265 express leaking faucet in galley

    OK, So the leak is in the fittings, supply hose or lower body of the faucet. Unfortunately you are going to have to remove the faucet to inspect. Maybe you can try a new supply hose and or clamp to see if that is the cause of the leak but if the faucet had water in it and the boat was subjected...

    265 express leaking faucet in galley

    As I asked earlier, does it leak when the fresh water pump is but the faucet is not open? If so, that eliminate a lot of the faucet but not all of it. To be honest, the photo looks like a lot of age and corrosion/gunk. If the lower end of the faucet is the part that leaks, it probably makes...

    265 express leaking faucet in galley

    What is leaking? The underside or the top side? does it leak all the time or only when used. Most likely, if it is leaking from underneath and you can't see what actually is leaking, you may need to remove it and inspect

    Metal Transom bracket corroding what to do????

    If you just checked it recently and it wasn't corroded but is now, you have a problem that needs to be looked at. If you haven't been checking each year until now, it may not be as critical (assuming the corrosion has been a slow process You probably can wait till end of season since one of two...

    There aren't and that was a surprise to me. In addition I had to fill in a zillion fields to get to the download. I really dislike the way Grady now manages the manual site.

    Grady 275 Freedom rolling issue

    And the required annual maintenance. It isn't cheap. Note that depending on model, the Seakeeper gyro can take an hour or so to come up to operating speed

    232 Gulfstream single engine to twin engine conversion

    of course it's possible, twins were and are an option. That said it wouldn't be cheap nor simple. It's not worth it going into details. If you want twins, buy a boat with twins.

    Canyon 306 Refueling problem

    There is no easy way to determine how full the tank is other than filling very slowly until the vent or the fill line overflow. Then reset your fuel management system for the tank capacity. As you use the boat, note the fuel used and compare to the tank display. Holding the fuel nozzle out a bit...
