It seems like many Gradys accumulate water in the mid bilge.Mine do. Often you have to raise the bow significantly to get that water to drain aft. In fact on my 208, the only time I get the water to drain aft is on the steep launch ramp. Even when winter stored, it is impossible to tilt up the...

The proper fittings are CHROME over bronze. I dont think there is such a thing as stainless plated bronze.

Good diagnostics. The relay is bad unfortunately. Personally, I would look for a used one on eBay. I generally don't recommend used parts but $300 for the relay is ridiculous

Is it a thru hull transducer or a transom mount?

If the through hull fittings are below the water line, do not use stainless. Use bronze, chromed bronze or Marlon a good plastic option.Often rain water enters the forward bilge through the anchor locker lid or perhaps thewindlass opening. In some cases rain water at the helm may be draining...

All you need to do to test the motor is to undo the red and green wires at the relay and connect them to a good ground and a good 12v Both can be found on the engine, or run some wires to the battery. The motor should run. If it does and the tilt works, reverse the two wires and now the motor...

I kinda misled you. I have multiple boats and the one I am talking about is not a Grady ( mea culpa, mea culpa) . It is the boat I call MyOtherBoat:)

Its the original MSD; porcelain Jabsco. 2006 37010 model . It uses raw water for operation

My MSD is raw water electric and it also has a macerator for discharge. There is a selector lever to direct the tank 'drain' to either the pump out deck fitting or to the overboard discharge thru-hull with seacock.

There was and may still be a company that dries out transoms. They drill a lot of small holes on the inside of the transom (maybe the outside too) and attach vacuum hoses with glued on fittings over the holes. They then run a vacuum pump for a period of time and suck out the moisture. I have no...

I forgot to ask; when it doesn't work, do you hear the motor running when you press the switch either at the helm or on the cowling? If you hear the motor but the motor doesn't tilt, you most likely have a hydraulic issue as opposed to a motor issue.

The trim motor can easily be checked by unbolting the connections on the trim relay and connecting the motor leads to a ground and 12v source. The trim should operate in one direction. Then reverse the motor wires and connect to ground and 12v. The trim should run in the opposite direction. If...

I was expecting you to chime in:). I am aware that the third generation of the 350 is a vast improvement. It is just hard to get over the stigma of the early models. The 350 model has been discontinued and the replacement as far as I know is the 425 SHO

It could be the piezo horn, the thing that sounds off for alarms and such

I don't trust anything on those Optis:)

They may rust and leaving them will require new tab holes or relocation of the tab. Just remove the screws.

I agree with Dennis, maybe you didn't understand what the mechanic said or possibly the mechanic doesn't know what he is doing. Get a second opinion. What motor is on that boat. If it is an original OX66 model, there aren't many things that cause limo mode. In addition, any good Yamaha mechanic...

There is a lock lever bit I also insert a hunk of wood. The motor without the tilt rod attached scares me. Also note that if you try to manually lift he motor off of the stop with the level turned off, as you lower the motor, it gets heavier and heavier. It is not a one person operation.

The extractor shown is meant for a stripped head, but still a head. The type of bit I referenced is meant for a screw with no head, just the shaft
