Re: Collinite Boat Wax Equivalent to Insulator Wax I called Collinite once when I had nothing to do. The two waxes are equivalent. One is marketed for cars, another marketed for marine use. Smart people. I've used the boat wax on my truck and it came out beautifully and lasted most of the...

Well put, Seasick. Enjoyed your last comment about the priorities. I'm not going to win a race with anyone, even with the 225 hp, but in rough water I can stay up there a pretty well with the 4-bladed prop.

Get Up on Plane: Four-Bladed Screw I ground my old prop from 17 inches to 16 inch diameter in the shallow waters of the Chesapeake. So when it was time to replace, I went with the recommendation of Chesapeake Bay Propellers ( Virginia ) and got the 4 bladed version. I'm up on plane in very...

Good morning, all. Haven't been on in a while. Hope fishing season going well. Have any of you tried this hull cleaner before waxing? How hard is it to remove? Guaranteed aching shoulder at day's end or not too bad? Am curious before I try it. Thank you.

Here's my formula. I have a 225 V-6 Saltwater Series. Ethanol free 87 octane, Yamaha Ring Free, and a gasoline stabilizer called Pri-G. I have had zero fuel problems in 8 years of ownership, and don't even bother to drain the fuel system over the winter, because the stabilized ethanol free...

Re: How Do You Gents Replace Your Fuel Water Separator? Yama In eight years of owning the Grady (and Yamaha SS II Series Engine, I have never drained the fuel system over the winter. Been using E-free gas with Pri-G Stabilizer, and then go down and start her up once during the winter. Have...

I guess I should count myself lucky. In the town where my marina is, two sources of E-free fuel. 90 Octane in the Marina and 87 Octane at a local gas station.

Re: How Do You Gents Replace Your Fuel Water Separator? Yama Thanks gents. Appreciate it. May your Red Drum be hyper AND fat!!

Is there a way to prime the new filter by cranking the engine? Prime it by pouring fresh fuel into it? Prime it by squeezing the bulb for a few hours? ALSO, the head that the filter mounts into has some paint coming off it. Is this a problem as long as the contents of the old filter are...

Would like to have someone mount through hulls in bottom near transom. Boat is trailered, roller type trailer. There is probably 2 feet or so of hull bottom aft of the last roller on my trailer, and I was thinking this may be a good spot. Ideas??? Grady 208 Adventure. Thanks. J

Thanks to All For the Input I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Jake

OK, not exactly a specific Grady issue. But, my trailer has a Grady sitting atop of it, so it's good enough for me to go on this forum. I want to replace all my brakes and bearings on a Load Rite. I am serious considering the new Tie Down Engineering product, the G5 Brakes. (Has a SS rotor)...

Wish I Could Offer More Useful Advice First, I love reading this board. There are alot of good guys on here, including the OP. You have helped me several times, thank you. Unfortunately, I don't know a thimbleful about boats compared to some of these guys on here. In fact, the more I read, I...

Going with new gps and fish finder. Without s pending the whole night looking for the best price, any thots on where to go for Garmin gps? Fish finder, I need recommendations for good ones if any of you feel so inclined. Thank you. Hot Ajax

Thanks for responding. Yes, they are surge brakes. I have brakes on both axles, 4 brake lines to all, discs on all. Sometimes, if the boat has been sitting for a while and I hook up the wiring harness to the trailer, before I dunk the trailer, I can back without the brakes hanging up. But, if...

Good evening, and hope the new year is working out for you. I have a LoadRite trailer with disc brakes. Two of the four wheels are locking up and will not release when backing. I would like to replace the all the stuff made by Tie-Down Engineering, as it only looks good in the showroom, but...

Am down to a short list for a gps. Do any of you gents have any comments on this unit? Like all Garmin products, I would anticipate that there will not be many negatives. Thanks, would like to hear all comments you have. Hot Ajax

I'm hearing good things about Travelers, not too many people grumbling about them. Certainly nowhere near the number of people grumbling about BoatUS.

One Other Thing About Boat US As I have stated I got a hefty increase from them this year, and of course CNA blamed Sandi. But a few years back, I had them, and the following year they gave me a very hefty rate increase and there was no natural disaster that year. I spoke with a broker in the...
