Yeah. Sorry. I used the wrong terminology in my update. I can now suck the tank out from the deck. Owning a used Grady with a functional Groco macerator is like owning an 80's car with a functional parking brake. It just doesn't happen! As much as I'd love to have that working, it's on the...

Hookup, I'm not exactly sure what you are implying. The issue was I could not get anything out of the holding tank. We sucked this up from the tank to the gas dock pump-out nozzle. It was stuck in the nozzle. We removed it and suddenly we were able to suck the tank clean.

Uh, it would have to go through the electric macerator in the head. No way that made it through!

Found my problem! WTF is this?!? This was blocking the pump out line! Looks like a capacitor. Could it be from the Groco macerator?

I don't think they were as universal as you might think. Also, when the boat is rotted, so is the hardtop. I've followed this site for a long time. Tops do pop up now and then, but it is not common. I can't say I've ever seen one for your specific boat, but keep trying. You only need one!

If you already have Yamaha rigging and prices are similar, F250 all day long. And that's coming from a guy that doesn't care for Yamahas. F250: - more displacement - much lighter - the 4.2 is one of the most bulletproof outboards in the business If the difference in Yamaha to Honda is more than...

You can get them new, but it will cost more than the boat. If I were you, I'd look at a semi custom option like https://www.atlantictowers.com/products_wa_tee_f.php

Sorry for your loss. Unless you have some reliable, cheap power available to mount, and/or your budget for a replacement is unable to pick up something newer, I would 100% let it go. You will be throwing $ at a project that will need more and more $ and time, but won't appreciate in value...

I owned that hull for 10 years. Even with a single ox66 water would come up on the cowl. I think it was just a characteristic of the short running surface. The boat had a tendency to run bow high unless the engines were trimmed down. I also added at least 100 lbs of ballast to the bow. I had...

250's and 300's are the most commonly sold engines over there. Considering the midrange power of ox66's, I wouldn't pass up a set of 300's. Some claim it can cause insurance issues to go over the rated HP, others don't. IMO an extra 100hp on a hull that big is no big deal.

What is the hull rated for? Over on THT there are a lot of 800-1200 hour 250 and 300 4 strokes that come up for sale. An insanely clean set of 250's just sold for under $20k.

Trailerable + under 13' + family of 5 overnight + not be cramped = ain't gonna happen. Subtract cramped and you might be able to get there for a couple years or after you make cannabis part of your boating routine.

I could probably do my homework to answer this myself, but I'm sure someone else here already knows the answers. - Will the engine's charging system (f150) put out more power than the draw of the fridge so while underway the charging system can maintain and replenish what the fridge used? - If I...

Seems safe to assume these engines would be marketed as 2005 then. The boat is a 2005. The engines likely didn't go into service till 2005. I just want to avoid a WTF issue if a buyer sees the manufacturing date of 10/04. Thanks all.

Every man has to make his mark. Here I go: If my f150's are manufactured in 10/04, does that make them 04 or 05 models? I ask for a couple reasons. When I look up parts, the models only show up on parts diagrams as 05. It's possibly other sites might show data for 04, but I haven't seen it...

The cams turn at half the rate of the crank. Otherwise you'd have a cammed 2 stroke!

Did the hose get pinched from tilting the engines out of the water? I ask because GW makes no mention of what orientation to have engines when tilting out of the water. On a single it isn't an issue, but on the 270 there is only one way to position twins to avoid damaging the steering lines and...

Looks like you owe yourself a call to Propgods. They won't be guessing. They will know what you need. They also offer prop exchange.

Look up member Skunkboat. He has Suzuki 200's. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265-express-suzuki-df200apxw2.29099/

Good point Glacier. I wonder if it was heavily loaded. Halfhitch, yes THT knows this was caused by inferior construction. A Freeman would have consumed the rocks and ejected sand. :D
