Not all boat days need to be on the water. Having some father son time putting in a new helm. My son Cole is my fishing buddy and now is a freshman in college. In his junior and senior year in high school he participated in the FRC robotics program. There he learned how to turn a wrench and...

I have done this before. It's a good idea. I need to order an OEM part so my thinking was to have the dealer add a bottle of Grady gelcoat to the order and ship it my way.

Perhaps thats what it is. I think the epoxy route is the way to go. The exposed glass looks like muscle fibers. I don't know if I will have my boat in 5 years or 11 more ,either way I think it needs to sealed up to prevent any water intrusion beyond what might have already occurred. The deck...

Hey Y'all: Hope your covid-cation is going swimmingly. We are building out a new espresso bar in our Waynesville store. I am thankful in one way for this Covid crap and that is this spring I am doing a lot of boat repair myself. This past summer I noticed the smell of fuel when we filled up...

Hi Flot, I don't have the part number. However, if you call Seels Outboard in Charleston,SC they are a Grady dealer worth their salt. Ask for Nancy and that lady is awesome. She will get the part and a price for you. Their number is +1 843-556-2742. They will ship the light to you or have...

Don, I can not emphasize enough to call Ken at Prop Gods. You want a true prop guru on this and not a random Suzuki dealer. He knows his stuff.

Hi Wxrhoon, Not to get into a huge debate but in my experience the 228 handles slow speed manuevering better especially in reverse around the dock with a 4 blade prop. I also saw noticable improvement in following seas especially in moving through an inlet with standing waves and needing to slow...

The beach scene was Hunting Island. The writing is so so. When they were diving on the non Grady White in the marsh I just had a hard time getting past the depth of the boat being 30 plus feet down and what little I know about diving, biology and physics, they dove down to 30 feet and made a...

Typically, when you increase the number of blades you drop the diameter but only no more than an inch. I think Zuke has a lower gear y'all can turn a bigger diameter prop. Ken knows the math and he can cipher it out for you better than I can. The other side of this 3 blade v 4 blade prop...

Gentlemen, that's why you need to call your local Grady White Dealer. They can order it. I too looked around the web and you can find a lumitec one like at West Marine and it's blue and white and no spreader switch. Lumitec makes the light exclusively for Grady. Your dealer can order it for...

Tuned into a Netflix series called Outerbanks . It's about some cool island teens in a mythical OBX island town. It's ok. However, they reference Grady White a number of times. Once is a big walk-around that sunk in the ICW after a hurricane. The kids stumbled upon it . They sunk a walk...

It should just pop off. If you have the cash, I highly recommend getting the latest and greatest by lumitec and swapping it out. Why? My boat is an 08 that I bought new in 09. I have replaced those crappy switches 3 times and then said enough. I called Grady to buy a new fixture. They...

The good news is this...I only can afford 1 new plotter at this time. Lol.

My gut says the motor is truly under propped. When I turn a 4 blade prop on 4.2 liter yamaha it's a power tech and it's 15.5 inch diameter prop. I think the pitch it's 16? The reason I say this is my prop was stolen 2 years ago when I repowered and stole my brand new motor. So, my memory is...

Thanks WS, Garmins new line of plotters has a port that is specific for engine data. It's called J1939 standards. It's not on the NEMA network, it's a stand alone engine network as it is. If I connect the plotter using this J port to the 4.2 motor, my plotter essentially becomes a one big gauge...

I searched this site and others and I could not find the answer . I have a 2017 Yamaha 4.2 with digital controls. I am buying a Garmin 942XSplus that has the ability to interface with Yamaha using that J something or the other code. So, is the plug at the motor or did Yamaha think it through...

I went with the 942 XS Plus. I spoke with Garmin about my options. The series above it has been discontinued. The latest is the 8 series. While that 10 inch unit is sweet, it's more than a grand more. The 942XSPlus is a new model just released and with an adapter my current 1kw transducer will...

Enjoy your new motor and boat!

So, what are the dimensions of that unit? I suppose I could drift on over to lowrance web page and figure it out.

So, Brian, did you fabricate the flush mount panel ? How did you secure the panel to the boat? I never thought of flush mounting ,but I am intrigued
