    Repower prop selection

    I'm repowering also in the next few months, or whenever Yamaha decides to ship motors. I spoke with Ken initially when I bought my boat and I went to the PowerTech 4 blade OFS prop also. Been a great prop, definitely helped with hole shot and mid range grunt that the F225 lacks. Wanting to keep...

    Towing with Bimini top - Freedom 225

    It should be mounted inside the gunnels. Pull the back supports off and lay it back into the cockpit for the ride home, or anytime you trailer to reduce stress on it.

    Sloppy Steering

    Have you tried changing out the fluid and bleeding it?? My steering fluid was nasty when I went to bleed it. Ran all new fluid through the system and seemed to help. My old helm actually gave way and replaced it with a new one last year, much smoother now.

    New to me! 2001 Sailfish

    Congrats on the Sailfish!! Your mesh bag can be had from A&J Canvas in Vanceboro NC. They made/make them for Grady. They did mine for my 228 as my zipper was blown on my old one and it was just nasty from being exposed to the saltwater environment. Call and speak with Lee and tell her what you...

    Mounting Fish Finder in Electronics Box - Gulfstream

    Blue,,,I guess I'm old school as I still run the external GPS antenna. I replaced all my electronics back in '17 when I bought my 228, with Lowrance Carbon 7's and installed the Point-1 antenna. Fast forward to this past October and I replaced the Carbon's with a Simrad NSS12 Evo3 and still have...

    EPIRB's

    I bought this kit. Then added flares and handheld VHF and some other essentials.

    EPIRB's

    I have one, along with a hand held VHF, flares, water, whistle, in a ditch bag that sits at my feet at the helm. It's on a 228 Grady. Looking into a Garmin InReach Mini to go along with the above gear. Hope to never have to use any of it, but very glad I have it if the need arises.

    My boat is at that age

    I won't see my boat for a few more weeks, but as Lee said, measure your own boat sitting on the trailer. My location may be standard, but I'm on a bunk trailer. Keep it out from behind the transducer so not to cause turbulence going over the ducer. As glacier said above, yes, I replaced an...

    "secret project"

    Yes sir, I remember you. I'm working through Hanckel Marine in Charleston and I think they already have a buyer for the 225. That said, the swap was supposed to happen around this time, but Yamaha has backed that up till at least March/April at the earliest. Hopefully the guy they had...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    The HS60 looks to be an option also. Replacing my Point-1 with it, eliminates the Precision-9 mounted down below somewhere. The pole mount is removed and it mounts flat to the hardtop inplace of the Point-1.

    My boat is at that age

    When I replaced my pickup it was a 3/4" and the pump was Jabsco. This is on my 2004 228.

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Plan is for now,, Install radar and find out what works and what doesn't and go from there. I'm the same as you skunk,,, one thing says you have to have a heading sensor and another thing says not needed in the same paperwork.

    Speakers

    I'm running 2 Poly-Planar in the inspection ports and 2 more Poly-Planar mounted up under the sides at the helm. A Kenwood unit power's them. Probably not to a audiophiles liking, but they work for me.

    Stopping the email

    Not sure what's going on with your email and the notifications. The only time I get anything from GG is if someone has started or replied to a private message with me. I've checked "Watch" on some of the topics and I still don't receive anything. I'm thinking you have a setting turned on...
