I was working on my aft float switch yesterday on my 2000 272. When I could not get a straight answer from my owners guide I downloaded, I called Jamie at Grady White technical support. The original "sure bail" units with mercury called for a 7.5 amp. Even though the replacement float called for...

Welcome, I am new as well and have found everyone to be a wealth of information.

Thank you to everyone for the advice. Quick update on this boat. I had a survey done today and he found several issues that I found interesting: Motors have roughly 1650 hours each and show signs of heavy saltwater use. e.g. heavy corrosion around heads, thermostat housings, etc. Transom bang...
