Are the motors 2 strokes? It makes a big difference. In nay case you can look at the original Grady brochure for 2000 models. Search for Grady White archived brochures.

Wema is now owned by KUS. In any case, the only parameter you need to know is the sender length assuming you use Wema type senders. You can call Grady support and ask what length was used originally but that doesn't always get the right spec. The most accurate method is to remove the current...

Dennis, if there is a small gap, you may have luck using a bunch of wooden wedges. Whack them in a crisscross pattern and see if you make any progress. I would not hit the drive wheel or crank.

Very true in many cases. In some instances though, tabs come in handy when you are out with friends who carry extra 'ballast':) As my fellow fishermen settle down on the way out and back, I often need some tab to correct for list

Your hull is rated at 450 hp max. You may run into insurance issues due to over powering. The 250s will add extra strain on the transom. The weight difference will be significant. The Verrado 250 weighs about 168 pounds more per engine. That's 336 extra pounds on the transom

Breaking strength aside, using a larger diameter line on a small cleat can be more prone to line slip.

You have to remove the old screws don't you? If so, you know how much penetration works without breaching the hull. Adjust more or less to compensate for any differences in the old and new mounting base thickness. Don't forget to fill the holes with caulk before you drive the screws in.

With respect to line diameter, it is a general rue that it should be 1/16 inch times the length of the dock or boat cleat in inches. For example a 6 inch cleat would best fit a 3/8 inch line. 8 inch takes a 1/2 in line and a 10" cleat suits a 5/8 line. You should select a line diameter based on...

If you have an iPhone, email the pictures as attachments to yourself. When you press send, the phone will ask what size you want the files to be. Choose small or medium. I guess there is a way for Andriod to resize also , I just don't know what it is. You will get the same prompt about size if...

You are correct. I apologize for my bad info.

I concentrated on 4 hulls, Grady 232, Grady 218, Whaler Vantage 280, and Pursuit OS 325. Unfortunately Pursuit has over time stopped production of the smaller Vantage (28 and 30 ft) models in favor of longer hulls. On each vessel I took a look at the overall fit and finish of the topside areas...

GE silicone (for bathroom/kitchen applications in Almond color is a decent match for the Grady color. It's not perfect but it looks much better than white

My guess is neither. To some extent, it depends on how the tube is mechanically held in place. I probably would use a good adhesive rated for under the water line (even though your tube should be above). Adhesives like 5200 are not really meant for fittings that can flex which can create...

I wen to the show today, got there at about 12:30. The show opened at noon. The lobby of the Javits Center was eerily uncrowded. Maybe everyone was inside. No, it was just super uncrowded, more so that any other years, including last year. One of the sales rep told me that attendance was...

Sometimes they also stock it at Home Depot. The trick is finding an adhesive that will stick to the seal AND the panel if the seal is not peel and stick

By new style do you mean something like this, cast stern eye? https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/attwood-boat-lift-ring-66120-1-5-x-3-1-4-x-2-7-8-inch-stainless

This stuff helps a bit. The downside is that it comes in grey or black only. You need to do several coats, read the instructions It may take a few spray cans https://www.pettitpaint.com/media/4448/alumaspray-plus-product-data-sheet.pdf I find that Trilux 33 in a can (not the spray) works OK...

I am always impressed with Pursuit. Just take a look at the below equipment space and it is finished. I get the impression that Grady was short on experienced craftsman for whatever reason and the workmanship quality suffered. That added to the unusual big spike in demand during Covid and...

That's not the part. I take it that there are flush mounted plates of some kind, possibly on the deck, that have a slit in them that allows the stub end of the cam lock buckle to be inserted and slid into place. The tension on the strap keeps everything in place. . On myotherboat there were...

Very sad. I actually have reservations about the brand after seeing so many posts on QC issues for newer hulls. What does the future look like for these newer boats when they are not so new? I have been a Grady fan for a long time but lately not so eager to unequivocally recommend the brand to...
