    Grady White Gulfstream Cobia Tower

    I would love to do this on my 24, but I don't think I have enough beam. Looks great!

    The deck covering - where to get it, how much, is it worth it?

    OceanGrip is local for me so I'm going with them to add to my swim platform. I'll probably replace the bolsters with the same material. The installer is the most important part as most of the big brands are very similar.

    VHF Radio

    Just bought a standard horizon with GPS off of the GPSstore for $159 and there is a $50 rebate. Same one that's listed above.

    Engine and Grady Bracket removal

    It wasn't that bad. Debond, powerpro and some homemade wedges. Then I sold the thing and had a better one made.

    9" GPS/Bottom machine

    There are some good prices on the Garmin 94sv right now and might upgrade from my Garmin 74dv. Has anyone mounted a 9" screen on the swivel bracket? Post some pics if you did. I think 7" might be the max for the spot I have it now.

    flag poles

    The rod holder ones are better. Just make sure you use a small bungee to secure them if they are in the top rocket launchers.

    Towing

    I tow the 244 all over the state. It's been from Pensacola to the Keys pulled by a Tundra with the smaller v8. I get a cool 10mpg.

    Long distance trailering tips

    A temp gun is another good item to keep in the truck. Shoot the hubs at gas fill ups.

    Those kill switch thingies?

    I'm not a fan of the cutout switch. When I built the Mako I didn't even add it to the cluster. The first time your going through an inlet and that dumb cord wraps around something and pops.....good luck. I won't ever use one of those again on a boat. On the Grady I didn't do the install so...

    Gulfstream Repower

    I was out the door with my 300 rigged for $20k in SE Florida. I used International Marine and had a good experience. A little cheaper than the Mike's, but the Mike's have better customer service.

    Aluminum tank install

    We have a tank builder/installer in the area that has been doing it for decades. This is how he makes mounting pads to replace the neoprene crap that kills the tank. Step 1 -RTV silcone - make large worms cutting the tip really short. These usually go in the 4 corners on the mounting surface...

    Steering wheel removal from Seastar helm

    The plastic moves a little. I have the same assembly and the small puller worked just fine.

    Steering wheel removal from Seastar helm

    Yep, AutoZone has the small puller that won't damage the plastic. I ended up buying it vs renting. Helm wasn't hard to rebuild.

    Islander 268 Minn Kota Trolling Motor Install

    Nice! How well does it hold? I have seen them mounted on the swim platform down here on Parker's/Grady's and use them as a sea anchor. Anchoring off the stern for bottom fishing is also something you see down here that's probably not popular in other areas.

    98 Adventure needs dash update! Need help

    I did the switches last year. I made a mold and made a solid glass sheet. Covered it in a carbon fiber wrap.

    Cabin Rod Rack Hinges

    Hope everyone is doing well. Had the Grady out for a week at Little Gasparilla and the rod rack hinges gave way. The Southco hinge replacements are around $12 a piece. They had some knockoffs on Amazon 2 for $9.99. They are a direct replacement. Rod rack hinges

    Amp Location

    My son and I started working on the Mako again. We are redoing the console and I pulled the amp off. I'm going to put it on the Grady. Anyone have one on a 22-25 foot model and where did you put it?

    Go Pro vs ??????

    I have had a GoPro for years, but barely use it. I bought a waterproof point and click recently and started using that more and use my phone with the DJI Osmo gimbal.

    03 283 Release trim tab motor/reservoir access

    If you just need to fill the unit you can do it from the stern. Disconnect the bulkhead fitting on the transom and stick the hose in you fluid container. Retract that tab with the switch and it will fill the reservoir.
