In my area, those surveys usually require 2 people.

That's good to know. I am disappointed a bit. I was waiting for a 'sale' on the other 5!

The pump cycling is not necessarily a bad thing. It may be normal. If your flow is good all it says is that you pump can meet the volume demand. Frequent cycling can also mean that the pressure for the pump to turn on is fairly close to the turn off pressure. Making that range wider will reduce...

Manual or electric? Both are pretty pricey based on cost on other makes. I don't have a Grady price list to compare I have been told but have no firsthand experience that the electric model are prone to motor failures. I would lean towards the crank option instead of electric if I had the choice.

That's pretty funny but I do understand your question, My first thought was to space the guides at least as wide as the widest section of the boat ( usually it's beam). How much extra clearance you add is often personal preference but it should not be greater then the amount of off center...

You may just need new hoses. It's difficult sometimes to tell. If you smell gas all the time, you probably have a tank leak that is below the fluid level. If you don't smell gas when you add some gas but do after running the boat, you may have a higher up leak, either the tank or the sender...

Since you may have a few things to learn, I strongly suggest that before buying, you get a survey and a motor inspection. If the initial boat looks good, you can usually place a deposit and even sign a contract as long as the deal is contingent on a good survey and motor report. Do not commit...

Is it a dealer/broker listing or a private seller? There are lots of marine dealers in NJ. Where is the boat located? Last year you couldn't find trailers but lately in Jersey, I have seen more new inventory on the dealers lots. Prices of boats and trailers are still high but some softening is...

Thanks for the info. It's good to know.. I am happy that it was that simple. When I read the post, my first thought was an exhaust leak due to corrosion or a bad gasket:(

True, flat glass is a lot easier and less expensive to replace These folks may have a solution http://marineglassspecialties.com/HTML/MGS%20Boat%20Glass%20Replacement.html

I would ask Grady if the factory tops were reinforced for the option or if plates are sufficient . If the top is soft cored, even with plates it may be prone to crushing and cracking. At a minimum, post the model year of your boat and somebody may have the same or close to the same model year.

That's a lot of buildup. Have you checked your t-stat chambers? Do you fresh water flush after use? Do you boat on the Great Salt Lake? :)

Are you asking about my electric non vacuflush? If so, there is an electric pump that pulls in raw water into the bowl, at the same time, a built-in macerator in the toilet starts pumping the contents of the bowl into the holding tank. A separate macerator pump is used to empty the tank when...

No. I have an electric head but it is not a vacuflush. They are very different in operation and equipment needed. Vacuflushes have a vacuum tank, vacuum pump, and pressure switches in addition to a holding tank and probably a separate macerator.

s I read it you have to buy a case of 6:)

Not necessarily. Non vacuflush MSDs use raw water. Vauflush models usually use fresh water and a lot less per flush.

Just want to comment on something. If the holding tank vent is blocked, there is a good chance the the toilet will not flush correctly

By 'flushing' the tank using a hose or a bucket of fresh water will just result in your holding tank filling faster. Just use the chemicals made to keep the system smelling fresh, pump out as often as you can until you get tired of pumping out and plan on changing the sanitary hoses every 5...

Try scrubbing with vinegar first. If there are salt crystals, that may work. If the windshield is plastic, there may not be much you can do, especially if the plastic is internally fogged There are products that claim to work but I have not tried any. For example...

I was looking yesterday for a replacement for my small boat and noticed two things; Many ANCO 52 model blades are back ordered AND nobody caries the size I need which is a 10 inch:) I am looking for a replacement insert or just the rubber. In the past I had to do get a longer refill, cut to...
