    Transom Thru hull

    I have 2 thru hulls one at the bottom of the transom no sea **** and the other at the bottom with a sea ****. I am replacing the one on the bottom because the handle broke off. I was wondering should i sea **** the one on the transom as well or is a simple stainless thru hull fitting is enough...

    Live-well pump

    First boat with a live-well, my previous boat did not have one. I wanted to ask when you have fish in the well, is pump constantly pumping fresh water in the well? If so would this drain the batteries if on too long or it does not drain that much current?

    I want to change my water separator, fuel filter, and primer bulb adding a shut off valve on the line before the bulb. I am reading the manual and it states the following: on fuel injected engines always relieve system pressure prior to disconnecting any fuel system component, fitting or fuel...

    Opinions on how you would fiberglass this?

    @NatedoggAZ You can put a huge piece down if you think you can glass it in. I would recommend cutting the pieces you need in 1 ft section unless you are a glassing master. The way i did mines was i put the bed down for the stringers with the 1708 already cut. Once i place the stringer in the...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    No doubt about that. I am going to think of a way to raise the tent about a foot and put my inversion table together to get it back straight. Today i didnt do much, I went over and cut the those templates i removed that separates the cabin. I will add a layer of csm over these because i will...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    Just enough scribble kick to get the message across. So this weekend i finally got that wood out from behind the helm. I went on and removed the other side as well even though the wood was still in good shape. I may reused it side instead of a new piece of wood. Just resin it up and put back in...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    Woodonglass Thank you glad to have some like minded individuals to help when questions arrive. Question in the picture below when i seal the transom in with the top cap, how far should i bring the 1708 down on the outer skin? Should it be to the splash well drain holes or the last hole for the...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    kcassells I saw that you painted you transom. I have not cap mines yet as i left if covered over the winter. I was waiting until i get the back end of the floor installed so i do not have to crawl under the top cap when i place it back in.My question to you is what did you paint or use to fair...

    Buying used Merc on E*bay

    Just wanted to ask everyone's opinion on this. It seems they have a huge selection on motors here, but you never know what you are going to get. I prefer to shop online because of the selection instead of riding and burning gas going from marina to marina. Wondering everyone's recommendation...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    kcassells ---Nope, no problem, you mean holes in the stringer/bulkheads? You gonna do that foam vid thing you showed me earlier? Are you foaming those areas? I removed foam from there. That area is where my above deck gas tank sat on the portside, and the battery on the starboard. I have...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    kcassells what i will do is fill the area with PB on both sides if I can then glass over it. I will not worry about drainage for the foam in that area. What I did and what I will continue to do as long as I have the boat is keep tilted upward so the water can drain toward the back into the...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    Here is a picture of my MEKP. This means I can use if air temp is 55 or higher? Or should I be more concern with surface temps?

    Looking to repower 1976 Grady White

    So i am looking to put a newer motor on here after I get the cap and transom wrapped up (see my build in my signature). I previously had an inline 6 115 on here with the switch boxes. I still have the motor but I would like something more modern and more power if possible. The boat tags says no...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    kcassells I decided to go with this tool. From what I read on amazon it is very precise unlike the side angle grinder. I saw a video of a guy on youtube i think boat works today. He was using something similar and stated that he uses it in his shop and does not worry about dust particles. Its a...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    KC that 41 gallon tank is not going to fit. I will just use my 18 gallon tank. Now if you look at this picture you will see an imprint for something in the center of the boat. My gas tank fits into this slot perfect but it fits directly to the hull. I think I will have to move it closer to the...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    kcassells Thanks for the help again KC. Here is something I got from another website. Someone asked similar question. Make the whole thing out of 1.5" XPS foam (blue board, pink board, green board) with 1/8" Meranti plywood skins. It will be light, insulated, and amazingly strong. Use 3M...

    1976 Grady White Transom Rebuild

    Ok I am trying to figure out the best way to make this coffin for the gas tank. Since there was not one under the deck how to make the coffin? Do I use plywood? Do I make a mold of the tank bottom (The way I think I will go)? Could the stringers be used as sides for the coffin or do I need a...
