    Helm Electronics Update - Garmin Chartplotter and Ideas

    I have a 225 as well and have dealt with NewWire in the past on my 192. They really are great people to work with. These are the push button switches I was referring to https://newwiremarine.com/push-button-switches/bluewater-switches/

    Helm Electronics Update - Garmin Chartplotter and Ideas

    Dual 12” 4K screens would be sweet- I could find twice as many hardhead catfish Are you planning on keeping the yamaha gauge and the small square Garmin gauge too? Have you considered swapping over to the push button switches with built in circuit breakers and etched symbols/ names on them?

    Which boat?

    I I’ve had both boats. I started with a 1999 192 equipped with a 1999 175 Evinrude Ficht (which I bought in 2015 as my first boat). We absolutely loved that little boat. We used it all year round, trailered it all over Alabama and Florida, and it was spacious overall for a 19-foot boat. I had up...

    Oldest a used Grady can be while not having to worry about fuel tank/tanks replacement.

    I had a 99 192 until 2025 with the original plastic tank. Never had any issues. I did replace all the fuel hoses around 2018-2019, but the tank was still going strong when it sold last year.

    Armstrong Bracket Bolt Corrosion Fix Ideas

    What kind of bolts and washers? Stainless I assume, but I think I have read about using plastic washers to prevent galvanic corrosion.

    Armstrong Bracket Bolt Corrosion Fix Ideas

    Hey Guys, I recently got a 225 Freedom, a great upgrade from my old 192, and I’m thrilled! However, the surveyor pointed out some corrosion on the bolts under the swim platform. The bolts inside the bracket and on the bilge side are fine. He wasn’t worried, but I want to tackle it this winter...

    Freedom 225 CommandLink (6Y9) Alternatives?

    I know it’s been a while, but just to wrap up the gaps for posterity, I ended up getting the 6y9 fixed by gauge savers. It turned out great and I highly recommend those guys. Long-term plan when funds are ready is to re-do the whole dash with new switches and upgrade to larger mfd from new wire...

    Freedom 225 CommandLink (6Y9) Alternatives?

    hey— now this dude is on to something . I bet NewWire could whoop up a new switch panel and make those updates happen and it’ll look like it came that way from the factory. If I’m already spending money— why not go all out

    Freedom 225 CommandLink (6Y9) Alternatives?

    thanks guys (all of you). I figure the gauge saver prices have increased over the past couple years — might still be the best alternative. I do not have a NMEA2000 backbone right now. My thinking was to replace the existing commandlink with a MFD that would fit in that spot and not look like a...

    Freedom 225 CommandLink (6Y9) Alternatives?

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Year is 2013. Measurements look like it could fit, but it’ll be crowded… guess I could buy a suncover for the Garmin and velcro it on the dash and get a good idea if how it would look.. I contacted GaugeSavers, —said it would be about $350 if the LCD needs to be...

    Freedom 225 CommandLink (6Y9) Alternatives?

    Hi Guys, I recently purchased a 225 Freedom with a Yamaha F250 and commandlink (6Y9) gauge. The gauge is pretty sunburned and I’d rather spend $ on a MFD than fixing the Yamaha gauge. Has anyone had any luck fitting a MFD in the 6Y9’s stock location? It looks like the Garmin GPSMAP 743 MFD is...
