Russ, I was working on my yacht yesterday and I keep hearing this buzzing sound. Finally I look up and see this hornet and the burgeoning hornet nest smack dab in the middle of my hard top. Eight inches away is a paper wasp building a nest and today while I was inspecting my in hull transducer...

Grady White Customer care is really helpful tracking these kinds of questions down.give them a call.

Wow, it's amazing what finding an intermittent wire will do! Old tech is talking to new tech . I am happy.

Part of it for me Russ is I live in the Smoky Mountains. People love to vacay here , so it's easy to meet people. The other part is KY is right. I trailer my boat everywhere. I mean on 1,000 mile treks. I met Coconut because I wanted a buddy boat to go the Abacos. Our stars aligned as it...

That's too cool and crazy at the same time. We would take our kids and friends and go knee boarding and tubing there. Crazy as it's loaded with Gators. Lol. The DeLand Christmas Boat Parade starts there as I recall. We did it a time or two in our old Grady.

Hey peeps, I bought a Garmin 942xs plus. It replaced a 4208 and a GSD 22 digital sounder. I am running an airmar shoot through the hull 1kw transducer 50/200khz. I spliced the wires and connected to the Garmin 6 pin to 8 pin black box. The 942xsplus has built in chirp and traditional sounder...

Yep, the mighty St. John's. Love that river and it was funny chasing you down.

This is rainy COVziD Saturday lunch thread. It has no benefit what so ever to fixing a damn thing on anyone's boat. Lol I was thinking here on my porch in the Smoky Mountains about how many people I have met in person on this forum. Its kind of cool when you think about it. Parthery and I...

So, I guess posting help, I got an addiction to meth , boats and hookers is better than just saying help my wife thinks I am at work. Lol You make a solid point. I try search here on my topic questions before I post a question. Putting the topic in the subject line improved that search...

I am not a mechanic or engineer, but I am a boaterman and I owned that motor to 1,100 hours.. I did the timing belt before a trip I took to the Dry Tortugas in 17. The motor was flawless. If you have 500 hours on it you should be fine until 1,000 hours or past it even..Asking your guy to...

I don't recall your background Russ , so pardon me if I am writing something you already know. Your electronics, the GPS is sensitive to voltage drops. You should think of voltage and amps this way. Voltage is how wide a river is and amps is how fast the water is moving in the river. Your...

I like your Captain Ron approach. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there! Lol. Insurance is for that stuff, but your brain is there to keep you alive. There are things we all do which we all do before we leave the dock or slip. It's just automatic. So, yah, Russ needs to...

Avoid using the head unless you have access to a pump out facility. All seacocks should be closed while running. It's easy to say, hey let's use the wash down and forget about it and then cruise down the river or sea at 30 mph. That's a lot of water pressure against that pump . Close it ...

There is evidence in the picture the top hose is leaking down and on top of the lower hose. Also, maybe double up on the hose clamps? Fittings above the waterline are not required to have seacock shut off valves. At a minimum if you put new fittings in , just replace the hoses too and...

I am curious. Did Grady offer this boat or any other in this era with different motor options? I had a 98 192 with a Johnson Ocean Pro motor. My brother had an 88 190 with a factory rigged Evinrude. I don't miss owning a carbed two stoke outboard at all. Starting that Johnson after she warmed...

Nordans Trim Shop in Columbia,SC. Mid Carolina Marine referred me to them as they use them. 803-794-0209 The work is actually done well. The vinyl matches and I paid $150 for the stern seats ,$150 for the port fish box seat and $175 for the bolsters. The price was very good. I am...

My hubs run between 110-120 depending on the run. I usually only take their temp when I am driving to Florida from NC. It is critical that you inflate your trailer tires to their max cold pressure levels. Under inflated tires , especially trailer tires, generate more heat and that heat is...

My question is not necessarily about aestthetics but about durability. A good deal or fair price doesn't mean much if they fall apart quickly.

Today I toured the central Piedmont of North and South Carolina picking up furniture for my retail store and my cushions for my boat. I was hurries today.. left the house at 7 AM and returned around 9 PM. I brought my new cushions inside and I noticed the upholstery shop did not use piping on...
