:welcome I hope your Voyager treats you as well as ours has. Happy boating!

Re: Trying to decide what path to take. Older Grady or New C For your budget, a little hunting, patience, and research could net a heck of a nice low hour, reliable Grady even bigger than 24'. Casually looking over the past few years I've come across several I contemplated buying and flipping...

I wondered how I would ever get to those. I better replace them before my son gets any bigger! Let us know if you have any issues with the fit... if you can get that far!

What specific fitting broke? I've been wondering how long some of the above water plastic fittings will last and have been in denial that they might need replacement. Our boat has spent most of its life out of the sun, so who knows. The only ones that concern me are for venting the euro...

From what I remember, we unscrewed what we could get too and pulled the cap back far enough to get a good look. To be honest, I can't remember what it looked like under. This was at least 3 years ago. My Dad pulled it back as I was working on something else. He was confident it was well sealed...

Seasick, Respectfully, how does a ring become brittle? With steel cylinder liners all 2 stroke rings I have encountered are a high chrome alloy. They don't break easily. I've tried! If the rings got hot enough to affect the integrity of the material, I would think the piston and cylinder would...

If the gaps are good, the pistons free of carbon in the grooves, and the machine shop is reputable with a lot of large displacement outboard experience to back up the suggestion, run it!

Considering all the effort and expenses you are incurring to fix one cylinder, I would at least check the ring end gap to make sure you don't put an excessively worn ring back in. I'm not aware of a ring face having a special finish to aid with break-in, but someone like Wiseco could tell you...

Seasick is right on. To be clear, the primer ball will not become firm if one of the lp pumps has a ruptured diaphragm causing a leak into the crankcase. If you find a leaking pump, be sure to check the O2 sensor. The rich running condition could cause the sensor to foul compounding the issue...

In 1998 grady had fully transitioned to rot resistant plywood for the transom and stringers in all boats. I've followed this website for about 5 years and have not seen a single post about structural rot in stringers or transoms in a 98 or newer model. I'm sure some will eventually have issues...

Email Grady White. They will send the info to you.

Hey 248, Looks like we bought very similar trailers. Mine is LoadRite but has different bunks. My bunks have steel tubes under the wood with eyelets for tie downs. The eyelets are intended to secure straps to the transom rings. I have plenty of clearance from the tabs to the straps. Looks like...

Re: Grady 265 250ox66 Fuel Burn 1/2 load 1 MPG in calm water A fouled O2 can certainly cause an OX66 to start guzzling. Before you start swapping expensive parts, check the sensor 1st and also make sure things like the low pressure fuel pumps are 100%. A ruptured diaphragm in a LP pump can...

With auxiliary and primary tanks full, hard top, steel bunk trailer, full water, ice and gear... around 9-9.5k lbs max. Add another 300 lbs for a roller trailer. Dennis' s numbers for steel vs aluminum sound right for a trailer that big.

With the exception of the gelcoat, the problems you mentioned are supplier issues, not Grady manufacturing issues. At best Grady likely reviews quality issues with suppliers quarterly, unless something is consistently showing up frequently. The issues you mention while annoying and...

If practice cracks this nut let me know. 4 years of running our Voyager and I still get nervous docking especially when it's windy! Here is the little help I can offer: 1 - Have the engine trimmed up about 4 bars or 1/4 way up (Yamaha) from full down. If you don't the water off the prop will...

Let me first say I'm no expert on engine failure but I do know running water through an engine does a heck if a job removing carbon. Considering how clean the piston and head are for that cylinder, I can't help but wonder if you were sucking in water. How did the head gasket look?

If you rebuild, you need to determine what made that cylinder fry or history will repeat itself.
