I have heard others say pledge is ok as long as it is not the lemon variety. Use the non scented original and it would not cause yellowing. Dunno, just heard that. Mine is time for new replacement which I will likely later this year take to vendor that makes them for Grady to make a new set...

Thanks Max, just what I was expecting and agree. Any resistance is an indicator for sure and also can compare with new filter's value if it changes.

Hey Max, found the specs from post that Andy on SIM Yamaha defined for us. If you are checking fuel system vacuum readings at the engine mounted fuel filter, the Yamaha spec is from idle to WOT no more then 4.0" hg for up to 200hp and 2.6ltr HPDI engines, and 6.0" hg for 200hp and up engines...

Max, that is a great deal. It seems that in your case, so far, no gasoline has caused any gauge failures. I think I might just give these a try at that price. The one's I purchased were approx. $100 ea and one failes shortly after connecting up. Myself and many others have consulted with...

Is there a brand on the gauges? Reason I ask is there is a real big problem trying to find a vacuum gauge that will support gasoline. Lots of posts on this over on THT. I had purchased 2 gauges and one did not work properly. Manuf. said it was likely due to the wetting part of the internals were...

Just installed the Johnson also in my boat. Nice system and peace of mind. Also put in a second 2000GPH emergency Bilge and Thru Hull for backup if primary needs help.

Found my local WM did not stock it, but the one near the coast had 1 of each size, so I got one while I was there. Seems no one knew what it was from either store. I bet if Stowaway did a little advertisement, it would go like hotcakes...and rightly so!

Do youself a favor and switch to either the Pennzoil Full Synthetic or Amsoil. I switched to Amsoil years ago and it has excellent results. Clean burning, longer plug life and peace of mind knowing I have the best lubricant possible. Find an Amsoil distributor in your area and it is worth it. I...

max366, I am very interested in what type of vacuum gauges you installed?

I have the HDS10 with 50/200 khz transducer, Structure Scan with 83/200 khz, 3G radar, LGC-4000 GPS High speed reciever, Sirius Satellite, Simrad AR42 Rate compass and this thing is amazing in what it can do. Will be adding another HDS10 Gen 2 later this year. I am not sorry at all! Just be...

Forgot to mention, will not use bottom paint. Just removed it all from the hull and getting ready to gelcoat. I trailer only so no issue with bottom paint. Hope someone has attempted to repaint or repair the paint on their bracket and has some ideas here.

Fishtales, thanks for bringing this to the table. Didn't know this stuff existed. Excellent demo showing how it works. Will get some today when I go to WM. :)

Look into Spray 9 also. It will also reduce chances of regrowth of mold/mildew and bacteria. It is hands down the best I have found.

2 models I wish Grady never changed was the 265 express and 25 and 27 Sailfish prior to the euro transom designs. The layouts are outstanding and access to anything under decks is very easy! I really like the layout in the 265 helm area but ended up first finding a 25 Sailfish in great shape...

Anyone ever figured out the right type of paint to use on the outboard bracket like used on the Sailfish models? I have a section on the bottom of my bracket that was corroded up under the paint, so I peeled/scraped it off to open up and clean out all the salt and corrosion. Now, I need to...

Richie is right on the weight. Compare 2 stroke weights when powering and try to keep it as close as possible. Can also relocate things like batteries forward somewhere save to relieve some weight in the aft areas can help.

Personally, I myself have been impressed with bracket mount boats. From your experience in regards to waves over the back, I have been in situations as well in a 20' with OMC Seadrive that I made it back and others did not. One of my friends sunk his Mako and was less than a mile from me one...

Dealer. I called and talked to Grady to get the list of part numbers for my boat. The scupper drains, on the deck that are plastic needed replacing and I was not able to find them anywhere, So Grady told me which part number to use and they had a newer design that fit perfectly and the 90 degree...

I got mine from Grady and price actually beat what I tried for the Attwood. Very happy with them!

Brian, how in the world did you get the cleat off? Or was it just screwed on?
