    Use Fresh Water System To Flush Outboard

    Yamaha hasn't come out with a product like that because they know it is snake oil. That's my opinion, not a provable fact. I don't have any proof but I'll bet if there was a way to find out how much saltaway is sold in the whole world outside the USA, I'll bet it is very little.

    New Rocket Launchers

    I agree with Fishtales on both accounts...very nice addition and the importance of protecting your coring. Merely putting sealant on the mounting bolts is not enough. Perhaps you are on top of it but if not, this is a good description of proper sealing of cored areas....especially the part about...

    Head Level Issues

    The best thing to do is leave all that internal stuff right where its at and unhook the wires. Install a indicator made by an outfit called "Seelevel". It's all on the outside of the tank and reads in %. https://www.garnetinstruments.com/rv-shop/

    228 Hard Top

    I wonder if you might be able to convince WMW, the maker of the tops for Grady White, to cut a "kit" for you but not weld it together but pack the components in a box to save you thousands in shipping. You may be able to get the box or boxes small enough to qualify for air transport. When it...

    228 Hard Top

    For you gents down under I have to think that it would be more cost effective to have a fabricator in your area build one using your boat as the jig.

    Simrad sounder problem

    Last year I installed a new Simrad GO9XSE with StructureScan transducer. I live on the Gulf coast of Florida and most of my fishing is shallow....usually 40 to 110 ft of water. The thing worked OK, although I never figured out how to make it show all those pretty side scan pictures of the bottom...

    A disturbing issue with my Yamaha F200i4

    Well trapper old friend let me give you a little glimmer of hope that may pull your mood up just enough that you may be able to see over the rim of that depression. On my old Striper I had the 4 cylinder 150 Yamaha. I usually trailered it and it was a day boat only. I never noticed anything odd...

    Considering a 190 Tournament

    HTHM, There are guys on this forum that have actually replaced transom core themselves and will no doubt chime in on what exactly it entails. In the mean time, I would just suggest to you that there are literally hundreds of 190 tournaments around. A boat that small is easily and economically...

    2018 Freedom 215 Gel Coat Chipping Off

    You say it is the original gel coat but in the original post you said you are the second owner. I agree with KY Grady, in that it is probably a repaired area that was done improperly. For me it would be a job for a fiberglass pro. That's an area that needs to look good.

    Water in One Tank

    Looking at the first picture, I see double separation lines. Probably saltwater on the bottom, then freshwater on top of that then gasoline on top of that. If you use a small plastic straw with your finger over the top end, you can access each level and pull from each one separately to verify...

    Anchor Away ( Yes I mean AWAY)

    ROBERTH, That's the size zip-ties I use. I make 2 wraps before threading into the locking head.

    Had a little scare today.

    Several years back, I had a similar experience only I was on a planned trip and it ruined that. I had just always assumed there was fluid in the helm and had not looked at the level for a long, long time. Since my experience and thinking about what could have happened , I now have included in my...

    CO2 Alarm

    Are you talking about CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguisher systems or CO (carbon monoxide) detectors?

    looking at a 1989 254 Sailfish

    I was looking at an older Grady with the thought of going to a little larger boat and one of the members on this forum warned me that Grady started using Greenwood XL in 1998, so in the years previous to that the wood in the boat will be more prone to rot if subjected to long term wetness. FYI

    Anchor Away ( Yes I mean AWAY)

    As is always the case, whenever there is a problem with any kind of device that you have to jury-rig, some guy, somewhere gets serious about solving the problem in a more professional way. Here is what one guy came up with. I've never seen one of these personally but have seen the ads for...

    fresh water pump on 228

    Check the O-ring /gasket under the cover of the filter screen you cleaned to make sure it is in place properly. Also, it is not unusual for the cover to crack from age. Any leaks on the suction side of the pump will result in the pump sucking air and will not pump water. You can remove the hose...

    The Grady Has Landed

    Very nice!....I think you will find that the quality of the genuine Grady decal stripes are superior to most aftermarket stripes.

    Wiring Spreaders to Rocker panel?

    Why not just change the switch in the dome light and save the hassle of rewiring to the console? But to answer your question, you most definitely can power your spreader lights from the console switch panel. Grady sourced the power for the spreader lights from the dome light to save one run of...
