Windshield support struts have slipped at the top, where the two grooved surfaces meet. If your hinge is still aligned on the port windshield, loosen the two Phillips head screws right above the black ball, and push outward on the top of the port windshield and see if everything lines up, and...

I have only had three Grady’s, and the newest is a 2000, but they have all been wired this way.

Float switches are wired directly to the battery, via the battery switch, and you cannot turn them off at the helm panel, if the float is up. May have gotten some debris stuck under a float switch during the storm. Try flushing it out with the hose. Can you visually see that the float is up or...

Check your inline fuses, where the bilge pumps connect to the battery switch. Brown wire/pink stripe. They installed that pump in the hull before they put the cap on.

It is unclear, whether you hired the surveyor, or are using a previous survey provided to you by the brokerage or the seller, which would be useless if I were spending that kind of money. They may have a surveyor who gives their boats a 12 or a 20 point check up, much like a certified used car...

That picture explains it better, you are just adding a second bolt in the upper engine mount. I doubt there is a plate that high, they usually support a knee brace to the stringer, but don’t take my word for it, it’s a free call to Grady White. Drill from the outside in, to make sure the hole...

Search YouTube for “Bennett marine trim tabs”, and look for the guy in the gray shirt. The guy in the gray shirt is the late Tom McGow, AKA Tabman. Spend an hour watching his videos, and you will know how to troubleshoot just about any problem with your Bennett hydraulic tab system.

OP has not responded since he posted the ad five years ago.

Some GW’s have aluminum plates in the transom. Your best bet there is to call Grady White customer service.(252) 752-2111 Standard, as shown in photo, is mounted to the engine, bracket, not to the transom. Either way, it is a low mounting point for a tow rope, especially a ski rope. The trend...

Sounds like a Spinal Tap(1984) fan, but the Walkman was out a few years prior, so maybe he just had the same idea...

In/down/forward or out/up/backasswards, everyone reading this knows which way the motor is moving, and I have heard mechanics who have "been in the industry" for 20-30 years refer to the "cavitation plate". I don't correct them, I just hope that they have the correct solution to my problem...

Might help to know what year the boat is?

What is your wide-open throttle RPM?

If the fill hose does not have a check valve, you may be able to snake a quarter inch plastic tube down the drain, and pump the water out with some sort of hand pump. Use that same tube to inject the lube of your choice, wait a day, then try working the rod again. The rod should be almost...

If it's the '97 in the first line, I would think about it. If it's the '87(non SV2 hull) in the second paragraph, I would not, especially if buying a new boat next year.

Start with the vent wide open, line it up, and slowly close until it goes together. Then install the latch in the glass.

THMarine was the OEM for most of them. https://thmarinesupplies.com/pages/search-results-page?q=livewell%20overflow%20drain%20tubes

High or low tide has no effect on the steepness of a ramp, only on the length, before you drop off the end.

Haven't used it in the water, but mine snaps to the underside of the rub rail. I can put it on and snap it from inside the boat, and step out either zipper, but it is easier to snap from the ground. An easier way in the water, is to snap easy to reach locations, and attach small sandbags at...

It was how they just ripped out chunks of the wood coring, to seat the washer, or recess the nut, that got my attention. If the bolts hold the windshield, and they ever leak, it will go right into the coring.
