If you are seeing fish on the screen but their deep, get out the butterfly jigs, go on the drift and drop down to them with the jigs. It'll make you wish you had been spending more time in the gym though.

I tried downriggers with 12lb balls at tuna speeds and it is not good. I found planers are more workable to get lures down. http://rockfishhq.com/chesapeake-bay-tackle/deep-diving-planers/

Brush repeatedly over the course of an hour or so with CLR.

I had the exact same problem on a previous boat. If there was bad chop it would continually go off. Mine turned out to be a loose spade connector where the plotter picked up 12V at the fuse panel. The spade had just lost tension so it would wiggle just enough when the boat hit hard that the...

Go down to your local tire store and get several tires with inside diameters bigger than the piling. The store will probably give them to you. Just drop them over the piling and they will lay on the pile guide and ride up and down with the dock. Just stack up however many is needed to be as high...

Grady didn't use the low quality aluminum angle on the transom cap because they were trying to cut costs. They did it because it is lower on the galvanic scale so it becomes the anode for the outboard motor resting on it. The aluminum of the outboard becomes the cathode and the "cheap" aluminum...

I think you will find the part you need for your seacock actuating rod. McMaster carr has most things you need. Make sure to get the S.S. version. https://www.mcmaster.com/clevises/clevis-rod-ends/

Might be a mount for a grill or a bait table.

If the fill hose is in the aft portion of the tank and you don't have a vent in the forward portion of the tank, then if the tank is full and the bow is higher than the stern then there is likely a bubble of trapped air that expands alot with an elevating temperature change and forces the gas up...

Hi Eric, So sad to hear you have caught the virus....the Grady Virus, but don't worry, we all have it. It is not usually fatal but sometimes you do need to shred the receipts discreetly so the Admiral doesn't make your condition worse. Looking on the bright side, you have a couple of fun years...

There is no problem for the tow/tie down eye, it's probably the strongest connection you have. Just be aware that for long term tie-up in that configuration there could be some chafing where the line passes through the transom eye due to the stretch factor in the line. You can easily make some...

That's gonna be an exciting trip out to get it. If you aren't.t planning no to splash it in any lakes on the way back, getting it shrink-wrapped for the trip would be money well spent. I towed one from Western Washington to Florida and it got some gravel dings in the gel coat. I had cardboarded...

I learned a lesson about flying flags underway. Flags mounted forward of the occupants must be screwed, bolted or mechanically clamped in some fashion and not merely set in a rod holder. I was running about 35 with several people in the boat while flying a fishing club flag in a bow rod holder...

If the previous owner used a dry-stack marina that could well be forklift damage. It makes me cringe sometimes watching careless operators picking up boats off a high rack.

Years ago when the disc brakes were a new item to me I was living and boating out west and being young we were everywhere and the downhill heating problem was a head scratcher at first. After replacing a couple sets of fried pads I rigged up a toggle switch on the dash I could flip on and...

It's your boat. If twin single seats fit your use best. Go for it. I have a 205 and I did.

Dad + kid + fish = treasure

The gas shock that supports the baitwell lid is made by Ameritool. They etch the part number into the barrel of the cylinder. However Grady White has them put a Grady White number on theirs so you cannot look it up on Ameritools info. You have to go to a Grady dealer to get it ordered from...

I have a 205 Tounament and this is what fits.....all stainless steel just like original.
