    Grady Gas tank cover screws

    Is it normal to not have any sealant on these screws that screw in the hatches that cover the gas tanks? Seems like a logical place to not have water intrusion?

    Thoughts and tips of bringing a Grady 232 up from states

    After some thought and deliberation, I think the 232 is the boat I want to go with. There's nothing for sale up here and even with the exchange, the prices down south, especially in Florida seem appealing. Any thoughts on this or tips?

    Slack in throttle control

    Could anyone give me an idea on how to adjust the setting on a Yamaha 703 throttle control unit? When I put the boat in gear and move the throttle forward if I want to back off the throttle, there's about half an inch of play before it will decrease the RPMs (slack is all in the control unit...

    Shoot through hull transducer mounting help

    I just can't get my transducer level right on the transom to read at any sort of speed/not kick up a ton of water so I have decided to buy a second transducer to act as a shoot through hull to keep a bottom read at speed. I bought a AI 3 in 1 transducer (I know it's not made for this purpose)...

    Surge brake lock out

    Is there a way to lock out the actuator in the coupler so that it doesn't slide back and forth. I removed my disc brakes and it still slides back and forth which makes the stopping and starting a bit rougher than it could be. Or should I just buy a new coupler?

    HDS live questions/help

    I tried out my new unit today for the first time and have a couple questions. Firstly, when the engine was off, I could hear a clicking sound coming from the display unit, I hit the stop sonar button and it stopped. Is this normal? I looked on some other pages and some people say it's normal...

    Hds live 7 or hds carbon 9?

    I don't want to spend more than ~$1500.. which would you pick.. newer and smaller or older and bigger. From what I've researched the processing speed is similar, screen is the same other than size. I'll be using it just for sonar as I use a mounted tablet for charts. Thanks for any opinions.

    Reading bottom underway

    Any tips on how to dial in the sonar transducer to read bottom while underway.. doesn't have to be too fast.. hoping for 7-10km/hr (seems ok at 3-5km/hr) while looking for a place to drop my traps. Everytime I do this now I lose bottom. I've got a crappy Lowrance hook 7 with the transducer that...
