The sides of the hull should be solid glass. If a through hull was broke and allowing water in, it should just be draining into the bilge. If the glass is solid around the damaged through hull I don't see how it could have a water intrusion issue unless there was a secondary issue with the...

I have one I got from Grady for my 1999. Below is the link to the dropbox file. I have the extended running surface on mine but I would imagine most of the systems would be the same. Section 7 is the "model specific" section. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fumgk9515n04s ... L.pdf?dl=0

I try and make this short. Last trip of the year I noticed the starboard outboard chattering some in gear, about 30min later pulling up to my mooring that motors shift cable snapped. I confirmed it was the shift cable and not the shaft also. I assumed the chattering was from the motor not...

I replaced my drain tubes, I bought the tool and made sure to bed them in real good in 5200. It was not a bad job, I was nervous but the whole process went smooth. My previous '86 Offshore I replaced the drain tubes with the GEM plastic drains in 5200 and I thought the brass tubes went much...

The Venture bunk is defiantly a "budget" trailer, but it fit my needs well. Check them out but if you plan on using the trailer a lot keep that in mind.

If you are trailer regularly I would prefer a roller trailer, depending on the ramp I think it is easier to load. Sounds like you will be using it just once or twice a year though at the beginning and end of season. This is what I do and have a bunk trailer. I do not tow very far at all and...

I figured I would post this since I have not heard of this scam before and fell for it. They didn't get me for much, but I am more frustrated and embraced I even fell for it. My father is selling his 2003 Wrangler and I am typically his "broker". I had the Jeep listed on a few sites and was...

I will look into Flickr, but since they started their new charging thing I started using PostImage.org, its another free service. Photobucket was getting ridiculous with the ads, and now with the subscription I think they made a mistake and will drive most of their users away.

I am sure this has been discussed before, but could not find anything in a search here or on THT. I have a Raymarine C80 and DSM250 on my 27' Grady with a B744V transducer. I maintain bottom lock while underway which I was happy about. Reading the manual it stats auto gain maximizes the units...

My father always says the further away something is the more of a POS it usually ends up being. This sounds like it fit that description! I always keep my eyes peeled for projects, but mostly cosmetic or maybe needing a repower with a used OX66. The deals are out there but I know at least for...

I am not an I/O guy myself, but for $6k that sounds like a pretty good price with a trailer. I would think that in good condition would be $12k+ boat. I am sure no-one is beating their doors down for it if you throw even a lower offer at them and let them sit on it for a week you might be...

As far as the size and layout I would think the bigger the better. We mainly do a lot of day trips to the beach and occasional attempts at fishing with my boat. Had the 24' Offshore before although that did 99% of what I needed, the extra room in the 27' is much appreciated. I would think the...

I think it all depends on the ramp. My Sailfish is a nightmare to load on the ramp closest to me. Since I only pull it once or twice a year I travel about 5-6 miles to a better ramp that makes loading much easier. I think a roller trailer is easier also to load the boat incase you can't get...

Look at the catalog for your year hull. My father has a 1991 228G and I have that year catalog and a 1993 catalog saved and I just looked at those. The Pre SeaV2 (1991) had an option for transom modification for the 226 for twins listed, but not the Grady Drive for twin option for the 228G...

Defiantly check the VST filter, if you are handy at all it is pretty easy. The gasket on the tank can be difficult to say the least to get to sit back in place, sometimes a little axle grease helps hold it down in the trouble spots. Also if it is stretched out a little place the tank and...
