You need to measure your headroom in your head. It is probably less than the 45. measure your rods also. You may not have enough height.

Do you want this so someone can track your position or do you want to know if the boat has moved when it shouldn't have. Depending on where the boat is normally docked and availability of cell service, perhaps something as simple an an ITag will suffice. Also for the second case, what options...

How many lugs are on the switch? Does it have a backlight? There should be a feed wire, probably red, that connects to most if not all of the stitches. That wire may be daisy chained from switch to switch. It will probably connect to one of the center lugs. If so when the switch is ON, one of...

Grady doesn't seem to have any info online for the 281 but this dealer does:) https://www.tristatemarine.com/our-inventory/grady-white/grady-white-281-coastal-explorer

Loss of top end revs could be a bad prop but could be the other reasons I mentioned. Do the tests I suggested Without a known good prop it is hard to tell. The fuel pressure test is also a good idea. You need to look up the spec for your motor and then check yours at speed and load. The fuel...

It may be that a previous owner installed the livewell option and didn't do it properly. That same job could well have been one of the reasons that the transom rotted. Can't say for sure but as mentioned the pickup ( scoop type) should be under the boat, not through the transom

That's a new one for me! Do you rinse the fuel tank also?

I am still not sure what ones you have. Here are the specs fo the 6 adn 8 inch options 6" Pry-out Deck Plate - Standard Trim Ring Replacement Gasket = D6P-G Outside Diameter: 8 1/8" (15.6 cm) Inside Diameter: 6 3/16" (15.5 cm) Hole Cut: 6 1/2" (16.5 cm) Thin Rim with or without screw holes may...

I found this company. I have no experience with them but it might be worth a call http://rnr-marine.com/Purchase.php?product=Bimini-Visor-OEM-G1.5&manufacturer=Grady+White&model=Adventure+208&yearfrom=2000&yearto=2001

The name of the original manufacturer of the Bimini and curtains may be on a label sewn into the underside, forward edge of the Bimini.

New canvas for the Bimini or a whole new frame and canvas? Do you have any of the old parts including the side and front curtains? Finding decent used parts will be a tough challenge. Generally, one would need to have a custom or semi custom enclosure made. Grady support may be able to tell you...

Often especially if the plates are original or just fairly old, it is a better idea to replace the whole thing. The older plastic can be dried out and rough and even with new o-rings, don't operate smoothly. If you have an 8 inch plate and it is a snap in style as opposed to a screw in type...

Wishing all of you happy holidays, fair winds, and following seas.

I don't know if it actually is available yet. It's hard to comment on a photo:)

If the piece you are asking about is a bulkhead, cutting it would most likely cause a structural weakness. If the structure runs completely from one side of the hull to the other it is structural. If it runs between two stringers, it is less structural in a way Is the section above the deck or...

Was your old washer stored in an area that was subject to below freezing temps?

You can call Grady and ask. Be aware that sometimes the length they give you is incorrect but knowing what they think is the length will help you estimate better. Here is one site with a how to measure section...

It depends on what you want to do to your hull. If you want to wash off slime, a small electric will be fine but if you want to blast off barnacles on the outdrive or LU , or peeling paint, you probably could use a washer with higher pressure (to a point since very high pressure washers with...

I wouldn't replace anything unless you have a good idea what the issue is. You can add more variables by replacing parts. The VST is a good example. It is super easy to test top see if the throttle is opening all the way and you don't need two people. That is the first thing I would do.

That youtube channel is actually pretty informative. If I hadn't watched it before I would also think he was a hack but having watched many of his videos I think that he knew right off the bat that the drive shaft was 'welded' to the power head. He knew it was basically a lost cause but went...
