I think it is the bracket that adds strength to the lifting eye on the forward deck. If you don't plan on needing/using a lifting eye, you don't really need the bracket.(you will need something to tie off your anchor line) Note that the lifting eye is on the top deck and is not the bow eye that...

That sounds promising. Good luck with the job; keep us posted.

That was quick!

I don't know what Grady used to bond the deck mold to the hull back then. These days an industrial 'super' glue' adhesive is used and it is very difficult if not impossible to just separate the parts. In your case, you need to remove any rub rail and then any screws that hold the deck to the...

You might consider adding a short flexible M-F spring hose so that if the fitting gets wacked by something, the hose will flex instead of putting a lot of force on the under gunnel factory fitting.

Lots od similar props on EBay, running about $225-$275 average. You the full specs if you want to list it and also check for spun hub

look inside the rear rim of the prop for other markings. You might see the diameter and pitch. Post a pic also of the whole prop so that the condition can be determined. You may need to resize your photos to get them to upload. There are various ways to do that but a cumbersome although...

I did not explain my method very well. A normal hose end will not fir the fill. I have a nozzle on it and hold the nozzle in the fill hole. I have to hold it to keep it from shooting out but it works well to stri up the tank and let the water overflow. I guess that in cases where the fill hose...

I am curious also. What is the reason for selling? Yout put a lot of money recently into the boat. Also how did you convince 'whoever' to change the lower unit, 2 years after the engine was installed?

You can push the pumpout button for a brief time , just be ready or have someone near it to hear if it runs. Does your boat have a dc breaker panel? If it does, have you looked for a switch for the toilet? Also if it does, make sure the DC panel is ON. There may be a breaker and switch for that

That is a TLM model. Go to this site and click on the right hand side box to download instructions. https://www.groco.net/products/marine-sanitation/level-detectors Does the holding tank macerator run when you press the pump out button? If not, that might mean that there is no power to the...

Well, I learned something today.. Safe boating!

hmmmm. The reason I asked is that Grady states that 208s with 175 or higher hp motos should have hydraulic steering That was the case for my 2002 208 model. Is your motor a bit hard to turn?

What motor do you have on that hull? To be honest, I never seen one of these mechanical steering auto pilots

My initial impression is that there probably are serious issues based on the first picture. The cracks on rhe right side are concerning but more so since the sealant/caulk applied to the left of that area is cracked and looks separated. That could be a sign that the transom is flexing

I do not know what model control panel you have on the system. A picture would help since I am sure the model was used on multiple hulls and model years and someone will be familiar with its operation and trouble shooting You can describe it too. That will probably help identify the part

Tell me about the sunshade. Is it separate from the hardtop or part of the structure? Do you know who made it?

We may be confusing fresh water tank and holding tank. The holding tank level would be in the head. The fresh water probably doesn't have a gauge as standard equipment.

Interesting but I were looking at the boat, I would use the HIN to tell me the manufacture year. You could state that it was a replacement under warranty but until your post, I wouldn't have believed you:).

If the cooling water is cold as yours was at 42 degrees, you can't be sure if your cooling system is up to par. In addition, running on muffs often can produce higher water pressures than your pump can. Running in the water or in a drum is a better test. Secondly, if your water pressure from the...
