    Tilt and Trim Issue

    That might be an indication of a frozen motor bracket rod. There are grease fittings, some hard to see but they need maintenance. If would help to know the following. When the motor would not go down, did you hear the tilt motor running? If so, if you held the switch did the motor sound get...

    Pompanette ladder back chair slide/spider assembly

    I just found this but I don't think it has anything to do with rotation, just sliding. Here it is anyway https://www.ebay.com/itm/201521342483?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338590836&toolid=10044&customid=6b5d23aef8011f70d1c9417f625213eb

    Pompanette ladder back chair slide/spider assembly

    I am surprised that you can't solve the spinning issue with either a cleaning of the clamping mechanism or a new plastic bushing. In any case, the most critical dimension of the slider is the mounting screw spacing. After that the overall dimensions are important just for clearance but you may...

    Tilt and Trim Issue

    I advised based on the most common cause of the problem. There are other causes possible but some of those may clear up just by adding fresh fluid and cycling it a few times. You can empty the reservoir with a big syringe and a piece of small diam tubing like aquarium filter hose.

    The Gradys in general tend to use the same parts across several models and several to many years of models.

    263 Chase Through Hull Transducer

    The factors vary depending on the application. For example, bottom fishing in 50 feet of water is a lot different than 350 feet:) In general you get what you pay for but you can also pay a lot more than you need to spend. Chirp, sidescan and similar capabilities can be vey helpful but your MFD...

    2003 Sailfish 282 Trailer requirements?

    The base hull weighs 5800 pounds. Motors will add about 1400-1500 pounds ( F225s) 2 strokes will be a bit less. Full tank of gas will add 1400 pounds, water and gear , say 400 or so. That works out to just over 9,000 pounds. Add 10-15% spare capacity and you are looking at a trailer rated for a...

    Tilt and Trim Issue

    Have you recently checked the trim fluid level? Most likely issue is air in the system probably due to a low trim fluid level. It could also be several other causes, but checking the level and bleeding is your first procedure. Raise the motor and engage the tilt stop lever so that the motor...

    Length of anchor rope

    You probably know this trick but here goes. You can soften your line by soaking it in water and fabric softener. You would need a fairly big pail for hundreds of feet of rope. I soak mine in plane water for a bit, then a mixture of fabric softener and water overnight. A final rinse the next day...

    Matching paint color for Grady Whites

    If you want to do a small patch, I would go with the Spectrum Color paste. It is somewhat expensive for a pretty small bottle. Again, note that if your hull is faded, the paste probably won't match. Before patching and color matching, compound and polish the area where the fix needs to be to get...

    208 Adventure killed off?

    I wasn't aware of that but you are correct. It is not on the web site.I am not totally surprise though since the bow riders are so popular. Personally, I would like to see something between the Gulfstream 232 and the Marlin . Something in the 25 to 28 foot range. I like walkarounds. I also like...

    250 OX66 serial #

    I don't know about the 250 SX but some motors have the serial number programed into the computer when it is originally 'flashed' Ask you authorized Yamaha service department if the number can be dumped. ( I know that the 150SX, does not have the serial number programmed into the ECM

    trailer bunk adjusment for a gulfstream 232

    I forgot to mention that if your bunks do not rotate but rather are fixed, the spot where the load is supported may not be the center of the bunk edge. For example if the bunks are 2 by lumber, unless that are mounted at the same exact angle of the hull (and all along the length of the bunk) ...

    trailer bunk adjusment for a gulfstream 232

    All options will be fine, center of bunk, outside of bunk, or inside of bunk. The reality is that a few inches either way does't make a big difference especially in light of the fact that your chances of aligning the hull exactly over the bunks when hauling are about zero:)
