it is unlikely they both went bad at the same time ( unless you got hit by lightning:) What does the fuel gauge read?

When you say the motor is mounted in the first hole, do you mean the top or the bottom? If you mean top, the motor would be lower in the water and would be less probable for blow out on turns. So assuming the motors are the correct shaft length, you may just have the motors trimmed up a bit too...

I used that stuff on a large plastic garbage bin but it didn't hold up. It originally seemed OK but under stress it failed.

are you referring to HDPE, high Density Polyethelene or do you really mean polyprpylene? Starboard is a HDPE product Regardless, neither is easy to glue. I have seen videos of some success for starboard that uses a special adhesive and a flame treatment of the joints before glueing. I think a Ca...

I assume they are accessible under the deck plate. I know you aren't near the boat but if you do f=go to look, the part number of the sender may be stamped on it. If the sender is a WEMA now KUS brand, the part number will include the length or at least get you the correct replacement' I don't...

Depending on a bunch of variables; Motor trim, motor mounting hole, position of trim tabs and the like, it is possible that you are hearing blowout of the prop. As the boat turns and leans into the turn, the hull on the opposite side of the turn can lift up and lose bite. On MyOtherBoat, this...

Did you leave the porta potty underneath?

Silicon is not intended for below water line use. Your first step should be to check the bracket after some usage to determine how fast or slow it is getting water. If very slow, you may be able to get away with once in a while draining (for the time being) You should try to find out what is...

You have to remove the valve to replace it. It may unscrew easily or it may not. If the thru hull fitting turns at all when removing the valve, that will have to be rebedded or better yet replaced. If you go that route, you will be able to inspect and reseal the inner edge of the hull cutout...

Let's not forget the purpose of this forum, to share experiences and knowledge about boating, specifically as it relates to Grady White. I don't want nor need political discussions on this forum. Don't ruin it

Easy to tell model year; the last two digits of your hull identification number (HIN) stamped on the transom usually is the model year

I wrote and deleted three responses to this post. It's hard for me to shut up so here is my fourth attempt at a reply. It's a scary world out there. There are scammers that will steal your money. Unfortunately there are some evil folks who may do you harm. Of course you have to be on guard for...

Talk about apples and oranges. Other than the Grady name and having a cabin, the 208/218 and the 232 are different animals and in different classes. Configure a 232 with twins and it is in a class by itself. That said, the 232 is not really a great overnighter boat. In addition for me the lack...

Putting in a bigger capacity fuse is usually a bad idea. I can't say for certain without knowing the make and model of the pump and maybe the gauge of wire that it uses. Nevertheless, the automatic bilge feature is not powered from the helm. If there is a switch for the bilge at the helm, it is...

It can. There are different options. Downside? The more complex the systems are, the higher the chance of failures. here is a video of several different manufacturers' offerings https://www.boats.com/reviews/mercury-yamaha-and-seastar-add-positioning-features-to-joystick-controls/

Most modern outboards have over rev protection . That's a good thing especially if you are prone to prop ventilation as your out of control over powered boat flies through the air:) I will often run wide open for a short time to help scrub the hull and no so much to work the motor.

Usually the rigging manual will specify the amount of toe or toe out but even that can be misleading. In addition some setups specify zero toe in or out. It is easy to make twins parallel but a spec like 1/4 inch can be misleading. The trailing measurement is easy, i's the spacing between the...

I used twice as many staples because I spaced them pretty much end to end with little space '

To be precise, some accessories run on battery voltage usually 12 volts . The power from those comes from the batteries or a gen set. Shore power may be used to power a battery charger which will recharge batteries to a point. Although most ACs in this class are AC powered, there are dc only...
