    NJ fishing reports

    With those motors I'd be very surprised if you can't get 1.5 mpg at 30-33 mph. 21 knts is too slow to make canyon runs. That would add an hour each way. Do you have fuel sensors connected to an MFD? With my Garmin it will tell me my RANGE at the current speed.

    NJ fishing reports

    Did an overnighter to Hudson Canyon. Caught a bunch of daytime mahi on pots and a weed line. We got nothing overnight. It was slow for everyone. Just a single bigeye, couple yft and a longfin reported over radio. Lots of moaning... Morning caught a few more mahi. Guy next to us trolled up a...

    Transom Gelcoat cracking

    "MAYBE, it needs a transom. Nobody can tell you it does or doesn't just from that picture." I stand by what I said. Yes I have replaced a transom myself on a previous boat. Its not rocket science.

    Transom Gelcoat cracking

    2nd picture is confusing. Is there a swim platform up against the metal trim on that side? At first glance it looks like the metal trim separated from the transom and they tried to fill it in with gray sealant. I don't think thats it. All old grady's that got used and are not trailer queens...

    Possibly the dumbest question ever asked on GG?

    to clarify my point, there is no longer a "model year" for motors. Its not like cars. Neither you nor a dealer can randomly decide what doesn't exist. The following is from iBOATS. Begining in 2005 Yamaha stopped including the year information in the model number. The production date can be...

    Possibly the dumbest question ever asked on GG?

    Not a dumb question... but one that has no definitive answer. This is what I think I know... For a long time outboards from various manufacturers used a letter code in the model# to indicate the "model year". They stopped doing that. They keep a model # for years and have a mfg date and a...

    209 nav lights

    Nav light (bow light)wire should be Gray not red. Standard in the industry. The incandescent fixtures often had two black wires because polarity doesn't matter. LED fixtures usually have a black and a white (sometimes a black and a red).

    2013 Marlin / any outboard owners

    I think a combination of a spare short hose with both ends and a spare replaceable fitting and a 3/8 male to male threaded couple would cover any kind of break anywhere? You could cut at the break and put on a fitting and then attach the spare hose. That assumes breaks happen near the ends. I...

    265 express

    shame they put those motors on there. Kind of a price trap now. What do you do? I suppose if you are just fishing bays and sounds trolling for salmon they will suffice. 265x needs 200s. Yammie or Zuke i4s. Or new light Merc v6 225s Boat looks nice. Electronics...meh.... New Tanks? Canvas...

    Trailer Rebuild

    There are ramps in NJ where a bunk is a nightmare. At low tide you would have to drive off the end of the ramp to float a boat onto a bunk. My father in law has that problem evry time. Trailer goes past ramp, wheels get stuck, frame bottoms out... Rollers you touch the water with the first keel...

    Replacing Bennet Actuators Requires "Set No." From Grady

    I know the 265 tabs are special short rods. Not surpised others are too. You would expect the recesses are the same on similar Grady hulls.

    265 express waste line replacement e

    its been years since I looked at that but I'm thinking maybe you have to remove the tank thru the head and crawl in? My macerator hasn't worked since I got the boat. For me it isnt worth messing with for hundreds of $ and hours of time. I just do a pump out. The head only gets spoiled two or...
