So, I did my first oil change on the Panda 4200 Generator in my 336 today myself because I was having a difficult time finding anyone that would come do it. Turns out it‘s very simple. There is no oil filter on the 4200 so its just an oil change every 100 hrs and there is a filter screen nut you...

I ordered updated kit from my dealer and installed. Very happy with results. Car paint shops will carry a rubber stripe removing wheel designed to go on a variable speed buffer. Not orbital. It wears as the decal is removed and works well. Not as messy as chemical and wont gouge like razor...

Enjoyable read! Just what I need to decompress in he evening. Glad you had a great trip. I’m just a few hours away from there but cant seem to get a break from work to enjoy what’s in my backyard. wont be this week. Blowing like a hurricane down here today.

I did similar to you. Took off the old letters and stripe and updated it with the new stuff. Very happy but was about $450 for the logos and new stripe kit for a 336. Changed the old hull vents while I was at it.

What Key are you on?

I stand corrected there. I used it for twin 150’s on a standard SeaStar single ram. Shouldn’t use that kit for your application. Better to have a hydraulic shop set you up with hoses and fittings

I bought a kit on Amazon and it had all the fittings I needed to go between my 20 years old sea star helm and he new pump. I did a SImrad but I think the pump fittings are pretty much the same. Hard hose and compression fittings. Tip, buy extra compression fittings for the hard hose and don’t...

I love my bow thruster In my 33 and its the first boat I’ve ever owned with one. I would not hesitate to add one to a 275. Grady hulls ride high off the water and have plenty of windage. It will make your docking easier without a doubt and they aren’t that big a deal to have installed. If it...

To do bottom paint right on a brand new boat is somewhat of a process that you dont want to rush. They can either rig the boat and then bring it back in and bottom paint it . Or they can paint it , wait for it to dry between primer and paint coats, and then go thru the rigging and pre-delivery...

Marco Island

It certainly was, already had my first helping

Got the Grady out today. Late start but managed a good day with our 2 person grouper limit. Got our 4 and left them biting.

So today was a work day to fix a few lingering items on the boat. 1st was a new garbord drain plug assembly. My marina reported mine was totally stripped both sides. SImple right? Wrong! You’d think they were pretty standard size and you would be wrong. GW OEM is lager diameter and different...

Most boats your size go with a Rhodan 96” shaft. Youre going to need the 36 volt system and the longer shaft for it to stay in the water in my opinion. It’s not cheap but its the right way to do it the first time. If you‘ve never fished with a Rhodan, its a game changer.

Those seem like good numbers. I can hit 1.3 with my 350 yamahas, but only if I run them at under 4000 rpms and at a slower speed than you are getting. . I’ll bet with the proper height and less boat in the water, your numbers will improve some.

A Little Easter brunch by boat in Naples today. 75 degrees and sunny. 30 min boat ride from Marco Island to Hamilton Harbor in Naples and then back. Doesn’t get any better than this. Oh and a belated Wake Wed photo of a pair of flippers behind the boat this week. Hope everyone had a great Easter...

Anyone know who‘s brand pop up cleats that Grady used in and around 2013? I need to add a couple mid ship cleats and several I’m finding look identical with different brand names. Here‘s a pic.

Nice Ride Congratulations!

Water only needs to be over your head to drown. Buy an epirb. I live in Fl but still cant get over how many stories there are of people in other states that get lost hiking and nobody finds them for days. Its literally the cheapest life insurance you can buy.

There’s a company called Deep Blue Marine that makes a variety of organizers with suction cups on them that work well for stuff like wallets, keys, phones and drink holders. High quality and hold up well. I have two of these currently for the junk in my pockets.
