I recently added a couple of cleaning tools to reduce my elbow grease: -drill brushes / they attach to my battery-powered drill and do reasonably effortless circular cleaning … you need to be careful on upholstery, some of the sets on Amazon have combinations of soft and hard bristels -a...

I purchased and installed the Surfix Trailer guides last year. Very happy with the product … here is a related tread on this topic: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/roller-or-bunk-trailer.30972/

I store mine inside my house and use the Captain Grady app which has a searchable PDF of the manual. I never boat without a fully charged phone and find the searching feature in the app handier than working through a paper doc.

I went through this process recently. I could not justify the many $600+ options out there and did not want to have the straps in the way and rod holders consumed, while the shade was deployed. I found one of these used on FB Marketplace for $175 and it’s a good design: Not that tough of a...

I ran across this video the other day when I was researching the use of Spring Lines … very helpful to see a GW master at work:

I have not done the mod yet. In my research the TurboSwing customers seem to like the product.

Some info...

Have you considered a Trolling Motor w/spot-lock and a quick release bracket so you can get the motor off the topside when you are using the boat for pleasure cruising? Here’s a picture of GW option for 251 CE made by BigJon ... https://www.bigjon.com/trolling-motor-mount/

I am in the same boat ... one option for you to consider ... https://turboswing.com/xxl-turboswing-tow-bar.html

I didn’t measure the lip height before buying, just figured if that dimension didn’t work it was a simple return or I’ve got 3 bins to organize the garage with. Here’s a pic from one in my garage ... looks like less than 1/2”.

For my Coastal Explorer 251, I tried to find an off-the-shelf Tempress “Hatch Liner” that would fit my boat. I wound up using Amazon to search for a proper sized “dish tub” “dish basin”. The Amazon descriptions (and questions from other customers) were detailed enough that I was able find...

I investigated this for my 251 CE. To remove the “Chart Bag” (made by A & J Canvas of Fayetteville, NC), you need to disconnect the small “slide tracks” from the T-Top. These side tracks are attached by rivets You will need to drill out the rivets and after cleaning re-attach the side track...

Can’t add much to the detailed and thorough reply that DennisG01 has provided. I recently added the Surfix Trailer Glides to the GW OEM trailer. The installation was simple and the benefit these glides provide (to ease launch/retrieval) for shallow water situations, was well worth the...

I live in Wilmington

GW provides a copy of the user manual online ... not sure this will provide you the info you need, you but here is the link and and “wiring” excerpt for your model: https://www.gradywhite.com/explore/grady-owners/owners-manuals/

Not sure this will help but the 275 parts list is found in this document: http://rnr-marine.com/images/Grady-White_all-boats_2014_Parts-Manual.PDF I own a 2014 251 CE and purchased this drain tube for a perfect fit for my livewell: T-H Marine® ODT-2-DP - 18"L x 1-1/2"D Straight Push In...

This is a great thread. Very educational for this outboard and GW noob. I found this video helpful as well:

Went through a similar decision process ... 65% sandbar/cruising and 35% fishing. Really liked the versatility of the 251 Coastal Explorer and became an owner of a used 2014 back in Feb. Liked the Fisherman and Freedom models as well for this duality or purpose. After 8 years of dual...

I was researching the shade MOD for my boat and ran across this gallery of GW’s ... I have no affiliation with the company and found the Install pictures helpful: https://www.sureshade.com/grady-white-boats/?cn-reloaded=1
