Yeah, maybe not a crack. Some goo building up a layer it seems.

Have never seen a crack like that in an area like that. Can only assume freezing caused it to crack there due to water penetration from a leaky thru hull....

I have 600' 8 plait 1/2" in my 252 and yes, every now and then get a jamb but that has been mostly due to the chain working it's way down under the rode during rough seas. Once I get it out and use it a bit, that issue goes away. Much easier to deal with an occasional jamb than other methods I...

I have been having issues in last few times when I was at the boat and had water coming in. We had a good storm one night and I found water all the way over on the sink, so it seemed to be blowing in but can't find where/how. Window is totally shut. I did find that the channel on the outside...

I went from the Delta anchor to the Mantus and it self launches every time and so far has held better. It is irritating when it does not drop when needed so have been much happier with the Mantus.

In my experience in my 252G Sportbridge model, every trip is different. Over time after getting more and more used to her, I found I could not get the bow down enough to let the front cut the seas more. So I added some keel weight and found now with tabs, I can put the front down into the seas...

Wow, looks like it could be an Ice Breaker!

Folks, I had a bad case of dock rash last weekend and have to do a gelcoat repair and also repair a section of the blue stripe on the side. I have been searching for the striping, but seems some of the former sources have since dried up. I can spray paint the stripe which I have done before and...

Does anyone know if these refills will fit the Marineco Stainless Steel wiper arms? I am using the Marineco 34020S model with the Silicone Wiper blades, but they barely last 2 seasons, even covered from the sun. I have been able to get new one's including the new SS arms for approx. $27 each...

Agree, same here. Just a thin coating is all that is needed.

Agree, but smoothness and operation of the Dewalt over the HF is night and day. The weight has not bothered me and I am an old guy doing the 25' boat myself. However, lighter would be nice, but investment is done for now. Speed control has been very important and the HF does not handle that well.

I have gone through 3 HF polishers. The last 2 I still have but got tired of them not managing the slow speed. After starting and they run a minute or so as they warm up, then the speed increases too much. Went for the Dewalt and what a difference. Speed management is stellar and that with the...

My favorite design over the years ended up being the one I dreamed of owning someday and now have....The 252G model. I love the swim platform and bracket as it gives a very large fish box in the transom and close access over the motors when fishing in comparison to the euro transom design. The...

Punchline, my tank holds 202 gallons and is full. It will burn just over 100 gallons my first trip out plus the 3 hour drive each way towing. That is another 40 gallons plus the 2 stroke oil for 2 gallons. One fishing trip at $5.00 per gallon will hit me for $700 in fuel, add the oil and total...

I have the spring in my overhead radio box door and it never fails either. Quick and simple. That is why I was wanting to see the vinyl straps as I though all the radio box doors on the Grady's had these springs. I did have the heavy clear vinyl strap with snap on my cabin door that held it...

I have been getting my gelcoat from Grady in the past when I had lots of restoration work to do. It was perfect match. I have a small section to fix in the next week or two so I just picked up a pint of white from West Marine off the shelf and will try to tint to match as best as I can. If I...

Any pics of these straps with twist locks?

I replaced my round hatch plates with the screw in type from West Marine a couple years ago and have never leaked a drop since. I did have to open up the hole slightly, but that was easy enough. Before this, I had a few gallons get in after every offshore trip. Now I remove the drain plugs on...

I mounted the Vinyl VHF radio holder just inside the cabin door. Can quickly reach it from the helm. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--handheld-vhf-radio-holder-large--8717878?recordNum=1

What am I missing here? If we only take 3% oil from Russia, then how is the gas prices rising so much over such a small amount of impact? Certainly we can make up for it elsewhere if not our own reserves.
