Did you get that from Grady? Do you mind if I ask the cost. This may be something that I need to go to. Thanks.

Russ, If you intend to replace the hubs, you might consider the hubs from Northern tool. They have a zerk fitting made into the rear hub collar so that they operate somewhat like the E Z Lube hubs with the fitting in the spindle. With that design you are less likely to blow out the grease seal...

Be still my foolish heart!!

They might be bearing related ( too tight) or the brakes possibly dragging and transferring heat to the hubs. I am not saying that there definitely is a problem. It is just something that I would monitor. Pull 20 miles and check then pull another 20 and check. And as I said in the summer the...

Russ, FWIW When I have pulled boats in the past (GW 225, GW 248, and GW 226) the hub temperatures usually would not hit 100 degrees. In the summer pulling the 248 they ran up to about 110. And that was with air temps in the 90"s. This past weekend I pulled the GW 226 200 miles with the air...

Great looking boat!! I love the lines on the Express boats.

You have been threatening this since you got it. Dreams really do come true!! Big fan of Suzuki's. I live vicariously through you. Haha. Keep us posted.

Lobster226, I have a 2000 GW 226. Mine only has a helm side wiper. Is the helm side a 16" or 18" ? Thanks.

Skunk, what engines are you going with? I know you are excited about that, except for writing the check. Did you sell the old engines?

It is very simple to remove the switch covers. There is a plastic tool for that. Look for "Carling Switch Cover Tool".

This also shows up on the Montgomery Alabama Craigslist. Obviously a hoax.

I have a 2000 GW 226 with a 2000 Yamaha 200 ox66. Does any one know what model cylinder # I am likely to have ? Thanks.

Those are cool !!!!! Post pictures when installed please.

I used starboard to create a mount for the two Garmin units on my 226.

I got into that several years ago due to being a cheapskate. I poured acrylic heads with metallic prism paper with dolls eyes embedded in the plastic. I used them to troll for blue marlin, sailfish, white marlin, wahoo and mahi. They worked great. The skirts were a good bit longer than 6"...

I have that same meter. I bought it at Lowe's. Very inexpensive. I have used it on several boats that I have looked at. I know that it is not very sophisticated or extremely accurate. I just used it as a comparative tool. I bought it after I saw a certified surveyor use one. It has 3 or 4 levels...

The cost is $75 per gauge. They also do Mercury and Suzuki gauges.

For those of you that might have an issue with your Yamaha gauges like I had ( dim lettering and sun crazed faces) there is a cure. I sent mine too Gauge Saver in Florida. They sent this picture of the before and after. The result is pretty dramatic. I don't have any connection to them. I just...

Amen!! Here's hoping that 2020 is the best year yet for all the Great Grady folks here. You all have added tremendously to my enjoyment of owning a Great Grady!!

John, Thanks for the input. I will do the Tach/ Speedo panel and then later get to the switch panel. Either way I think it will freshen things up. Merry Christmas to everyone here !!
