    Two things.

    Guys, I’ve never charged the batteries while on the boat. Assuming that the battery cables are removed and wrapped, is it ok to charge them while the boat is shrink wrapped? Second, my forward bilge is not working. I’m not good at all with electrical at all. How do I determine if it’s the...

    Service Recommendations - Ocean County NJ

    With your boat right there in ocean gate , you should look up Dockside Marine repairs. He is a private mobile marine mechanic. Quite frankly there is no other mechanic that I would trust my motor to. In fact he lives about 5 minutes from Good Luck Point and 2 minutes from Ocean Gate Yacht Club...

    Shrink vs canvas cover.

    I’ve been going back and forth over the shrink wrap vs buying a fisher canvas cover. What’s the common feel here. For Jersey Shore coast, will a fisher canvas do the job fine. I’d like to hear from the guys who have canvas. How does the cover do with snow, and does the boat stay dry inside the...

    228 seafarer seaswirl proline

    Seavee2 hull came into production in 92. So don’t go older than that. In 2000 ( I think) Grady switched to wrapping marine plywood in glass for the transom. The Grady is a much better ride hull and will hold value much much better the other 2.

    Helm seats

    KY Grady, How did you remove the ladder back from the bench seat? I want to remove mine but the screws just spin. Did you have to pull the draw and enclosure to get inside ?

    ox66 or not?

    The rough idle you are referring to takes place at about 1800 to 2200 rpm. Yamaha designed this to run only four cylinders as a fuel saver while trolling. Between 1800 and 2200 is when it transition up to all 6 cylinders. A Yamaha tech will tell you that the TPS switch is back or out of tune...

    Maintenance guilt

    Yamaha recommends changing pump every year. Not so much for the pump, but for the exact reason you mentioned. They use titanium screws, which can corrode and get stuck. If they crack you can’t get them out unless you titanium rods and can heliarc weld. Then it’s a new lower unit.

    Helm seats

    KY Grady, I want to remove the ladder back on the jump seat. Did you have to pull the draw under the port seat to get at the nuts? The screws just spin on mine.
