    Vinyl Enclosure

    Ok, sounds like a good idea. So the smile was added to the side curtains so you don't have to roll up the entire side. Kinda like a window. I was thinking you had them change the design on the front curtain to make it easier to get to as mine are a bit of a pain to reach. Will definately...

    Vinyl Enclosure

    GTOMAN, when did you have this done? Did they charge more to install for you? PM me if you can share more details. I was wondering about the snaps! Would really hate to do that and like you say, do it wrong. I put some snaps on a cooler cushion over a year ago, and they are already...

    Vinyl Enclosure

    Mickey, I am very interested in your results. I had contacted the folks that do the original canvas for Grady factory and for full enclosure, got a quote of approx. $1500.00. Assume since they have the original template, and also said it would be good to send them my original canvas to make...

    Cover for entire boat with Hard Top

    Welcome Peanut, I just got my '92 252G earlier this year. Absolutely love it. I have been checking into a cover also for winter here to keep mostly leaves out when I bring it inland from the coast. So far, can not find a premade cover for this model. A local canvas shop here quoted me approx...

    Gas in Morehead City, NC area for Trailer Boats

    Finally made it to the fuel dock at the Marina where I got my boat and is right next to the ramp. Worked out well. Regular fuel was $4.03 and just dropped to $3.64 per gallon! I checked the Exxon on land before I went launched and that station just changed from Exxon to BVG (Best Value) and...

    Gas in Morehead City, NC area for Trailer Boats

    Oh yeah! Forgot to check on the discount for Boat US! By the way, is it customary to tip the gas dock attendant for filling up the boat? Assume they do this or do they let you do it yourself? Not sure how that works as never been there and done that yet. :?:

    Gas in Morehead City, NC area for Trailer Boats

    Thanks Doc ! When I go to get fuel next time, will walk in and ask what my options are and maybe they can offer up something for me. That would be much better if they are willing. I think for a charge card at the pump, it is pre-programmed to stop at a certain limit, but if we go inside and...

    Good points Shadow..... I have been running the Amsoil Full Synthetic 2 stroke oil to ensure best possible lubrication and also using the Startron with Ringfree Plus to ensure some level of control for the ethanol affects. For sure, plan on replacing all fuel lines this winter so that I will...

    Bow Rail Allen/Torx Set screws?

    I know I remember reading a discussion on this subject, but at the time, I didn't have a Grady so no worries for me, but now I find myself searching and not finding anything! I have a couple of loose set screws in my bow rail bases. It seems one of them is damaged and in need of replacement...

    Battery Drain

    Just got my 252G earlier this year and the batteries seemed to be draining down. I did the load test and found them to be bad and figured this was my issue. Replaced with new. Found that both bilge float switches were bad and both fuses were blown. Replaced both floats and fuses. All good on the...

    Burning off both tanks on Marlin

    Never thought of using one engine on a different tank from the other. But like to know the fuel level and so far the gauges have been very accurate until lately, one is flaky so have to replace the fuel tank sensor. But, on a rough day, it seemed to me to burn fuel from the rear tank first to...

    Gas in Morehead City, NC area for Trailer Boats

    Is this the norm nowdays for trailer boaters? We have to carry several credit cards to fill up? Sometimes one of the cards will limit at 2 times, others seem to not care, so that might be the credit card company I guess. Was hoping someone in my area knows a trick or two.
