    Have a '82 Grady stern drive with 305 V8. The starter seems to be dragging quite a bit and want to replace it. Takes both my batteries to get it to spin well. Seems there is a LH and RH spin for this year depending on weather the cam is driven by a chain or gears. If you know about old...

    Spider cracks in deck gel coat???

    I guess the sun and age of my '82 Grady-White has taken a toll on the deck. I'm noticing a lot of spider cracks all over the deck. I thinking I should use a coating that will cover and seal these cracks. Two possible coatings come to mind. One is the traditional deck paint and the other is...

    24' Grady-White slow top speed!

    I have an "old" '82 Grady-White, 24 foot, walk around cuddy that seems a little slow to me. It had been sitting un-used for 3.5 years on the side of the house. Took me about six weeks to get her back in the water again. When I took her out for a sea trial I was only able to get her up to 30...

    After my '82 Grady had been sitting for 3.5 years, so many maintenance problems have been identified and fixed. But every time I think I'm about ready to launch something else come up. "This time" it's the MC-1 outdrive. When the outdrive is in the up position all my 90w leaked out of the...

    MC-1 Right Trim Ram line stripped! Help!!

    I was replacing the 10w-30 oil in the trim pump and bleeding the line at the right ram fitting. Upon replacing the line to the ram it stripped out. I've known, for some time, that that female fitting was not so good. It finally stripped out. Does anyone know of a repair to the female threads...

    Hello to all. This is my first posting. I have a '82 Grady White with the 228 / V8 and have a question about the exhaust manifold gaskets. My engine cooling was, converted sometime before I owned it, to fresh water and they discarded the heat exchanger. I'm putting new elbows on and was...
