The system works because water doesn't naturally flow up hill. When the boat is empty at the dock or on the hook the decks will drain and seawater ,even if it gets past the flapper won't bother anything because your deck drain is above the the scupper through hull fitting. Now if your hoses...

I was trolling for dolphin off of Key largo and heading north. I was in 250 feet of water and doing about 5-7 knots when a jack wagon in his 40-50 cruiser came in behind him heading east doing 25-30 knots . It was clear as day I was trolling with my outriggers out and I use high vis yellow...

My 228 does it without a kicker . I troll and sometime when slow down or stop and the big guy is in the back we get water on the deck. It doesn't bug me. I would NOT block those drains even on a big boat . That's a huge safety risk and the drains make the boat self bailing . I have taken...

I did my 228 with new hoses and I even bought the current stainless deck drain fittings too. It's actually a fairly straightforward project especially if you put in new deck drains . This way you don't have to worry if you crack one trying to get the oem hoses off. The set up of a 225 and 228...

JRspawn, You will want to get detailed info on the Bahamas COVID requirements before you go. It's like. 55 miles out of Miami to Bimini . If you don't want to mess with Haulover inlet you could motor down to Blackpoint Marina and head out through Biscayne Bay. The other thing is to check...

I have done it with my 228. You should run from Miami though as it's a straight shot versus Ft. Lauderdale. We ran from Key Largo because we met up with friends there . We stayed at Bimini sands. It's not the Abacos . It's nice for what it is and the waters are very sharky. I would go again.

Hey Guys, I repowered in 17 and yes 5 years later I have not got the boat dialed in to what I think it should be. Mid Carolina mounted the motor on the top hole on the bracket and top on the motor. I ran it for 2 seasons like this. Then KY suggested moving it at least one hole on the motor ...

My advice is to get the best trailer you can afford and don't go cheap. Tandem axle trailer would be ideal with Kodiak stainless brakes . I would go with 15 inch wheels with 6 lug hubs. Your right on the edge there of needing a 7,500 pound trailer and the next size up.

There was that 27 footer in Puerto Rico last summer that sunk or capsized after it was repowered with bigger Zukes. I don't know of this counts or not . It was a strange situation. Saw it on one of the Facebook GW groups .

Since the COVID stuff and election drama , my desire to be on Facebook is non-existent. I hope Great Grady doesn't fade away anytime soon.. I have not looked at Facebook since September. I have to admit one thing. When I was in the hospital with COVID in August my wife posted stuff on...

What I am talking about is the Yamaha versus Mercury crap. The what tier is my boat Sea Hunt , Bayliner , Grady kind of discussions. I do think some debate is good and you want to know if something is good ,but if you drive Ford and I drive Chevy , who really cares ? You know. The Grady hate...

Thanks . Ok..I am going to order the puck . You guys are great .

Y'all need to just embrace the hate of THT and Grady . it's Yella Fin , Freeman , and SeaVee or Contender. It should just called center console . I have accepted the THT reality that my boat as we speak is nothing more than a rotting hulk on my trailer and when I leave it in the water I...

Hey now thems some fight'n words right there . I pay for my Grady addiction by selling another addiction or two, chocolate and coffee . Don't diss on the cacao !

I have purchased stuff from A and J in the past would highly recommend them ..if I need canvas work I will be calling them .

I did call Fusion prior to ordering the radio to understand what cables I might need to purchase also. I brought up the 942 and the Garmin XM weather receiver puck and he wasn't exactly sure how to connect XM radio that route. He did mention he thinks through RCA audio cables and he thought...

From Grady White and I got one in the mail today. . It's a t shirt and on the back is a twin engine Freedom of sorts . It just hit me a moment ago . It hit me that the handful of Grady shirts I have had over the years if there was a boat on them it was their iconic invention , the walk around...

I have the new speakers , the Fusion Apollo hideaway system and new speaker cable. I want to add XM to the system and I want to buy the Garmin XM weather puck combo deal. So, the question is this. When I connect the weather receiver to the 942 XS Plus and then connect the Fusion head unit...

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks guys.

So I can't believe it's been 5 years this summer since repowered with that sweet 4.2 liter F250. My warranty expires in July and Yamaha says I can extend it for $1,500 for another year.. What would you do ? The motor has like 230 hours on it .
