If I get 1/2 to 3/4, I will be happy.

End-to-end is a smaller, and smoother splice than back splicing onto chain, and I would think stronger, but the chain link should work. It is a clever idea. I think the end splice is done in 4 pairs on each end, rather than 8 individual strands. The back splice has loops, for sure, but there is...

Make them frown, instead of smile, but you may have to lay them down flat, if the roll also gets in your way. Can they go lower?

Anyone drilled holes, or run cables through the hardtop, specifically the bump above the electronics box, 2000. I want to suspend my vhf, and a couple of small things, so that I don't have to reach, or try to see over them. Is it cored?

Mine is cracked in a couple places. If I recall correctly, it is screwed in. Maybe drill the holes out oversized, and use a white nylon washer on the screw, if you had to repair it yourself.

At the very least, they should extend your warranty for 90 days, preferably four months.

On my last 2 Gradys, I have replaced the hatch with one piece starboard, or similar, and put the windlass in the center. The Tournament is hinged on the port side, and I used a lock down hasp on the aft edge. The Seafarer is hinged aft, and I thru-bolted the hinges. Both were meant to be...

Rusty Rons/Island Marina, in Morehead City, NC, buys up all the Grady parts, after production ends. He is the ebay link in the windshield washer manifold thread.

Are you sure the rails are starboard, and not PVC? It would be very hard to break the ends off 1" starboard.

If you haven't found the base unit yet, try following the cable from the antenna to the radio.

Okay, I can picture that. Thanks.

"You service the bilge pump by removing the live well." But, he doesn't have a live well. I am curious what his transom looks like.

Here you go! 30 second Google search for "Quest stop valve". Five bucks online, and $7.59 at Ace Hardware. One is 3/8 X 1/2, other is 1/2 X1/2. Not sure which is correct...

Link 2 posts above still seems to work. We all know GW didn;t manufacture that part, and their use is probably a fraction of 1% of its use, but sellers are smart enough to list it as 'Grady White', and triple the price. You can find that with 3/8 fittings, as a stop valve in any plumbing...

Sounds like a black box unit somewhere, with a ram mike.

I'm with you, I thought all Seafarers had a live well, especially of that era. That's why I would like to see a picture. I am curious how you service the bilge pump. I like to think that everyone installs a proper seacock on their thru hull, but I know that is overly optimistic.

JRyan, what is between your 2 rear seats, where the live well normally goes? Pic? Ky said that he replaced his, which I take to mean that he reused the factory hole. Many manufacturers have a special lay up to place the thru hull in a thicker than normal hull area. I would take the time to...

I have never been a fan of the dividers on this style box, whether vertical or horizontal. They are always sized for the standard height Plano box, and I often use a mix of standard, and the low profile, 1.1 inch box. With 4 inches clear, it would hold 3 boxes, with one being standard 1.75...

Location would be helpful in everybody's profile. That said, it does have Va. numbers, which may be relevant.
