My s My sides roll up. I have not snapped my front up yet. I may never do it. I don’t want to scratch it on the electronics box. The small panels in the front at the corners roll up. Last summer, we rolled those up On the old enclosure pretty much everywhere we went. Combined with the side...

It’s more permeable on hydroscopic materials. I know it will also swell the ball in nylon seacocks and freeze them Sometimes.

Ok folks. Here is the official reply from Grady White Engineering Dept. 1. Grady White does not apply any bottom paints at the factory. 2. They have had very little problem with blisters over the years, accept when boats are kept long term in fresh water. 3. If a boat is to be kept in the water...

I didn’t hear back from Grady Engineering. They might be closed.

Call Shaun Hall. He’s the Webasto Guy. Tell him Russ Johnson told you to call. He’ll help with pump size too. 941 356-8954

Beautiful!

Thanks! Always good to know how to access everything! I know the box. My auto pilot compass is mounted there.

yes. I wanted to replace the sprayer, hose and the counter top ring that the sprayer sits in. It was all old and crappy. It’s so nice now. These Ambassador fixtures have 5 year warranty including the finish.

You are correct. You have a 3/4” thru hull . You don’t need to change any of that. The larger pump has the same intake size. You will tee off after the pump. You may want to put shut off valves after the tee in case you need to isolate an AC unit For repairs.

Give me the size of your 2 AC units. I’ll have you the pump size tomorrow. I know the guy that calls on Grady for Dometic.

The shows are huge now. Very good booths. Food and drinks are very well done,. The casinos do a great job. Lots of door prizes. I think your rooms are free too. I promise you a pump if you come.

you use a single pump. Just a higher flow pump. The Marine Air folks will tell you which one You need. Grady uses the March Pumps. If you run an AC line across to the head. Be sure you insulate it if it’s somewhere that condensation would soak a bunk cushion or get something wet. I Rep’d Marvair...

Well, The Back Cove Yacht group does not provide bottom coating at the factory. They calculate that to be a regional thing, best handled by the Dealer. My buddy did say that he thought their dealers were applying a barrier product pretty much all the time. He saw my email on his phone. I’ll...

Unfortunately, Searay and Whaler have run off all their old salts (engineers) in favor of people from Automotive backgrounds. The other builders in FL and TN have hired every one of them. They are still building good boats though. Mercury Outboards is on a roll! The big motors are hot. Yamaha...

After soda blasting my hull. I had the yard follow the Pettit Reps instructions exactly. He suggested just 2 coats of the Pettit high build epoxy primer. Years ago. I did the Interlux system on my Bertram because they gave it to me no charge. I would burn the boat before doing that again. I’m 64...

Excellent Dealership! Very good reputation. I hope the marine industry can survive this virus. Here in SC, the waterways were absolutely full of boaters yesterday! It got cool again today. As of now. The only builders that have shut down so far are the Brunswick guys In our territory. That’s...

Do you work at Peters Marine?

Joe Hunter, head of Grady Engineering is a very good 30 year friend of mine. I already sent him an email Asking their official opinion. I’ll post it if he gives me permission. Once you get blisters. It takes over a year to get 70% of the moisture back out unless you do a complete peel. I...

I agree. I don’t want to argue over boat bottoms, but there is a certain responability to posting statements or advise on these blogs. There are people that are new to boat ownership that take these blogs as gospel. Have you have checked the price of a new a Grady White these days. We went to a...
