Use that thing that allows you talk to a live person over a great distance. :) Call Grady directly.

I've pulled tubes on boats your size - just not your particular boat - but in the end, it's all the same. Big wake at tube speeds (slower than skiing). You'll probably use full tabs and full engine down trim... maybe kick the engines up a bit. Yes, stern eyes or even stern cleats are fine...

That's a pretty good visual to get an idea of a system. Some things that not all boats may have though are the check valve, mixer valve and expansion tank. But overall, that decent diagram. Checking yoru owner's manal should (hopefully, if it's decent) give a better diagram for a specific...

Does your boat NOT have a hose connection for dockside water? Meaning... a female garden hose connector where you would attach a garden hose from the dockside water spigot? Did the pump now stay off after you closed your faucets?

Bail, I'm confused. It's not clear if it is or is not working for you. What push button are you referring to? And "power the swtich"? If the circuit coming from the dash switch is active (has power) and your new pump is good, then everything should work just fine. If it's not working, maybe...

Did the pump now stay off after you closed your faucets? "I am sure the pressurized pump feeds 1) the hot water tank, and 2) the cold water branch. agree? -- Yes. It works the same way your home does or the way your boat does when hooked into dock water. The dock water simply ties into the...

Just to be clear - maybe I'm not fully understanding what you're saying, yet... -- You've mentioned "heating" the water numerous times. However, this has nothing to do with the pressurized water system or the pump. It's a completely different circuit. I just want to make sure that: Whether...

I would tell him "You're right. The engines would NOT be in the water with them tilted up" :) For what it's worth, most v-hull/planing type hulls in the 20'-30' category are ALL in the upper teen to low 20-inch range. That is very normal. It's largely dependent on beam. The wider the beam...

I'd say that's pretty realistic. Adding a typical amount of weight won't make a huge difference in draft, either. Not as much as what one might think, anyways. Just keep in mind that "floating" does not mean "operating".

In the meantime, make sure you have shut off the breaker to the HWH. You don't want to burn the element out if it goes dry.

Good point about the hot water working. Hinmo... your post was a little contradictory - you said HW works... then you said the system doesn't work. Can you clarify? FYI, having the fresh water fill cap off won't matter. Gotta let air in for water to come out. The fill cap is essentially the...

If the fresh water tank is empty, it will just keep running and running since it can't build pressure. Fill the tank... does the problem go away? Seems like a simple thing to check. Don't you have a city water hookup so you can use the water supply from the marina instead of the onboard tank?

You can look at your wiring diagrams (Grady manual) and can likely find out what those two capped-off, white w/red wires are. But at this point, I wouldn't worry about it since it doesn't affect what you are doing. It is probably for some option your boat doesn't have. Or possibly your model...

Ah, OK. Now it's clear regarding the area you are talking about. I haven't done it - and I can't exactly remember it ever being talked about here on this forum - but hopefully there will be someone out there that can help. In lieu of that... -- Have you measured the backrests on a Canyon...

OK, start with those simple/free things I mentioned. Don't forget to check directly at the battery for V.

What do you mean by "The volts would go up but they never made it up to where they should be"? What did they go up to? Was this while the engine was running? You should somewhere in the neighborhood 13.5-ish with the engine running. Even 14. The issue could be anything from loose/corroded...

I think you should re-read what you wrote. It's not very clear what you are asking. We can't help if we don't know what you are asking. Add more info - writing in full sentences will help.

Thanks, Half, for the correction. Yes... "retracted" :)

OK, try again - but this time get the tabs fully retracted and don't mess with them. Focus on engine trim only for now - making sure to trim up sufficiently once on plane. EDIT: Wrong terminology used! Better now... Thanks, One Knot.

It's hard to say with limited info, but the first thing that comes to mind is that you guys might be new to operating boats? Or at least operating a boat that has larger engines with trim and trim tabs. -- Was he playing with the trim tabs? Newbies to trim tabs always hold the button down too...
