    Zipper slide repair ?

    Stop by the hardware store, go to the key cutting department, and get a key ring. Thread it on the zipper and you are on your way.

    Kodiak Brakes vs Tie Down

    Time to find another trailer guy, I'm afraid. If it were me, I'd go - in this order... Deemaxx Kodiak Tie-Down G-5. I'm assuming your slow moving trailer guy can get all 3? If not, it's going to be whatever Eastern Marine can overnight to you tomorrow.

    helm cover for Tournament 225??

    How about a cockpit cover...look at my signature pic....snaps down both gunwales and across the back...navy Sunbrella matches the rest of the canvas on the boat....

    Height of Grady White Tournament??

    Ocnslr is correct....the trailer type will dictate how far off the ground is....and a roller trailer will sit other than a bunk trailer.

    livewell and fishbox

    X4...one of GW's deals has always been that all livewells and boxes drain to the outside. I think you have a hose that's either split, or the inside of a thru-hull has split and is letting water into the bilge. Either way, you need to start looking.

    Yamaha Gauges Replaced?

    Does your motor have Command Link? If so, the info comes directly from the ECM. I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe the harnesses weren't changed out to Command Link. If that is the case,you will have to swap the harness and gauges to get accurate info.

    Vehicle and trailer to tow Freedom 225

    Vic, I replied to your post on THT. The biggest issue the X5 will have is the short wheelbase and stopping the trailer at interstate speeds....for short tows, I think you would be fine. Hauling it down I-95 or the Turnpike and through South Florida traffic is another story. For comparison...

    Considering moving up

    Bob - PM me and let me know when you are headed south.....need to make a trip to St Pete to get my annual service on the trailer done at Owens (they do the first one for free) and intend to fish a couple days down there and see the family. Looking at the last week of June into the early part of...

    Considering moving up

    If you are worried about safety with the little ones, then I'd look hard at something with an enclosed transom and a bracket. Keeps the little ones inside the boat. There is plenty of cockpit space to throw a couple of beanbag chairs on the floor if you want or need comfortable...

    Bob, where are you keeping it this summer? Almond? Did you paint the bottom? Need to figure out another TN River trip....

    Considering moving up

    Do you need the cuddy? If not, would a dual console make more sense? GW now makes 225, 255, 275, etc... You are limited only by the size of your slip (or tow vehicle) and the depth of your wallet. You are welcome to crawl around on my 225 and see how it rides on the lake....send me a PM if...

    226/228 hardtop- can someone measure theirs?

    You will be over 11' high....and then if you mount antennas, lights, rocket launchers, etc...you will be even higher. Don't laugh (I know you just bought the boat)....but you may be better off selling it and looking for one with a hardtop already installed...I went through the same exercise a...

    Seafarer 226 fuel sender reading

    Does your 226 have dual tanks? Are you sure you are reading the tank that actually has 80 gallons in it. I had a 226 with dual tanks...if I recall you had to flip a switch on the panel to show readings between the aux and main tank.

    Congratulations on your purchase. Surprised the dealer didn't catch it on the Pre-Delivery...have you reached out to him. I suspect he will want to repair it quickly - before you get the survey from GW.
