I like the idea of custom welding a bracket to the engine bracket. Like some boats do with power poles.

Very welcome. Measure from the drain plug. Cavitation plate should be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch above the plane of the straight edge.

If you don’t fill the old holes, the core material could rot. I mount my pump and float on a removable plate that is bolted to the transom. Like an L bracket. Makes it easier to remove the whole unit for rewiring or replacement.

That looks amazing. Making me hungry.

There is nothing like being able to put the rods up out of the way on the hard top. Transom racks leave the rods in your fishing area and get sprayed with salt water much more while you are running.

To check the engine height, take a straight edge about 4 ft long and place it flat on the bottom of the boat down the center under the drain plug. (Sticking our next to the lower unit)With the engine in the 0deg up down position, the straight edge should be 1/2 in Bellow the plane of the...

Do you still have the lees rod holders? Or the plastic rod storage racks,

Yamaha fuel management

No nematode for that motor. Yamaha fuel management guage has nema 0182 and can hook up to give instant mileage reading.

Can’t wait for reds to open on the 11th. Here in ft Myers area, you won’t find reds under 115ft and are abundant in the 165ft range. Your choice of bait and tackle is right on target. Couldn’t keep them off the hook last week at 145ft range. Yellowtail and mangrove snapper are running in 70 to...

G You have a point there. Looks like if he raises the winch up to max height, it may help. Just not sure if that would bring the boat forward and alter the tongue weight.

You will be fine in the GOM. I run my 24 offshore 70 miles off ft Myers on a nice day. Sometimes a storm rolls in and it gets a little sporty. I never get worried since I know my Grady will weather the storm.

Great idea. Goons have to steal it too. I have the wife trained to back the trailer down and hook up the boat while I drive up, but it will definitely help when I go Out alone.

Water alarm is very possible. If you have a little red ring in the bottom of the filter under the hood, this is a water ring. It floats in water and sinks in gas. If it is suspended, you have water intrusion.

Standard fuel fill is 1.5 in.

I agree. Sometimes it saves them but not all the time. It is best to be hooked up when the problem is happening.

The Yamahas don’t usually hold codes. If you happen to have the diag program hooked up when the alarm is going off, you can check the overheat issue. It will either say switch on or switch off.

Here in fla, A lot of people opt to remove the oil injection system and mix 50to1 like in the old days. Saves not dealing with the expensive parts going bad and all the aggravation that goes with it. That way, you know it is getting oil. There is no sensor on the pump itself. When it fails, your...

Definitely non ethanol gas. It is usually a good idea to do an annual service on the engine if you don’t know the service history. Annual contains engine oil, lower unit oil, h20 pump, fuel filters, and zinc check. Thermostat is done every 2 to 3 years. Also be sure there is a quality water...

Do you have deck plates behind the driver seat on the floor? Or in the console?
