Those barbed fittings are a classy touch. That will give easy access.

That is the early stage of the cancer that everyone is talking about. That's about how mine looked when I bought it.

Welcome aboard Tom! I like your handle. Kinda has a real world ring to it :- I'm sure you can bring that Grady back to Bristol with the brain trust here.

Vitamin, when I lived in the NW, I owned a couple of different inboard aluminum boats. I think bare aluminum looks good and can be kept looking good with a little care. If your bracket is not pitted too badly, you can bring it back fairly easily follow any of the YouTube videos on polishing...

Drifter, I went to this site and picked out the numbers that I thought pertained to my boat and then called the number on their website. A young gal answered that was really helpful. I told her I needed some test swatches to make sure which pattern and I mentioned 304 and 308. She ask for the...

Hahahaha.....

LOL....makes me think of the old TV show, Red Green.

Given your history of ingenuity, no doubt there is a sprocket where the prop was and a hole in the bed with a motorcycle chain running down to a sprocket on the driveline.

I use a steering lock if am leaving the motor tilted up for an extended period of time. In the past I did not on previous boats. When I repowered my Grady 205, the Grady dealer mechanic that did the install warned me that on this style transom with the six cylinder 225, there is a limitation. In...

Vince, Glad to see you have a sweet set-up now. Here's a picture you might like to have when you are bragging to your buddies about how well you are set up...…..

Some real surprises in there. Thanks for showing us that. I really have a problem wrapping my head around the pressures involved, like the elephant seal dives about a mile and a half deep. How the hell can he hold his breath that long and the pressure there is around 3,500psi. I can imagine a...

Thanks wspitler, that made the lightbulb come on.

I was really interested in the info on that chart to see how my new trailer was set up by the manufacturer compared to what Grady recommended but the terminology confuses me. Other than the distance to port or starboard from the keel indicated in the drawing it is Greek to me. Anyone know what...

I have a 2004, 205 tournament. I added a hardtop, GO9 SIMRAD, EIC switches for Bennett tabs, Upgraded 8ft VHF antenna 5225 XT, autopilot, fuel flow module to name a few.

James, You got good advice on what will give your MFD the input for heading. When you install the new gyro, you will be connecting the wires to the course computer. Be sure to see if you can use the wires from the old gyro to pull the new wires in before you remove them. It may make it a lot...

I can't imagine any previous owner plumbing that system per the drawing. I agree with all the previous responses, that the freshwater tank should not be connected to the raw water plumbing no way, no how. If indeed that is what you have, I would recommend you get a valid, official diagram of...

I sure hope the awful wildfires in Australia aren't affecting any of our Grady White brothers. My heart goes out to the folks that have been affected or have loved ones that have. Fires of that magnitude must make those fighting it feel helpless.

I agree with Dennis. No need to replace it if the only problem is the oversized holes. Fixin stuff always feels better than replacing.

It's been my experience that diesels don't lend themselves well to small pleasure boats. I don't know what engine you are looking at but typically diesel engines are heavier than a gas engine for the same boat. In an inboard configuration the engine can be moved forward in the hull to help trim...

Longstreet, That boat is located just south of where I live. Should you get to the point of hiring a surveyor, following the advice of Dennis is advisable when he speaks of a "REALLY good surveyor". Be advised that in any tiki bar around here there are self proclaimed "surveyors" spouting...
