Old school is right..60+% of today’s population were not born yet…lol
In comparison, my daily driver just rolled 250k miles on 12 spark plugs, 5k oil changes, and a fuel filter.
If your worried about someone seeing you naked, the first thing you do is close the curtains…then you lock the door and put the key in your pocket.
Got rid of cable. Had my provider switch me over to Ethernet, installed a firewall on the router and browse behind a VPN
First thing I delete...
Not sure about brands, but the formulation makes a difference.
For long term durability you want a penetrating oil, not “waterproofing” like Thompson.
Been using Flood, CWF-UV since my deck was new. Still looks great after 25 years
Not necessarily.
A 12V switch would be all that is required to actuate a remote battery isolation relay.
If that is the case, that would be high on my list of things to check as well.
A battery switch on the helm is weird.
Never heard of or seen of such a thing on a Grady.
I have a light at the helm that lets me know when the ACR is active.
Have a OFF/ON/Combine switch on the transom
What year and Model?
All the Grady wiring diagrams are on-line

One plug is platinum, the other is iridium. MGK says they are interchangeable with the only difference being the platinum is gapped to 0.044 the iridium is gapped to 0.032.
Fouling typically is not a plug problem on an injected motor. One plug would be an injector. Fouling on all holes, on...
We have no lakes. The rivers are killers (strong under tow) and you’re not the top of the food chain in other swimmable locations. The “cement pond” is the only way to go.
While technically still in drought, we’ve had storm after storm come through the area. Pumped 2” of water out of the pool...
Sounds crazy, but switch your bilge pump selector from auto to off or pull the 5A in-line fuse(s) that feed the bilge pump(s) at the back of the boat.
Unbeknown to me, the aft bilge pump shorted in the windings back feeding power to the helm through the switch.
Would have never found it had I...
Any time I run into possible thermal related situations I start looking at components in the circuit with windings and or contacts.
In this case, the primary suspects are the start relay and the starter itself.
Enjoy them while you can. They grow up quick.
My eldest daughter lives 6 hours away. Between the distance and my travel schedule at the time, we saw the grand kids once or twice a year as they were growing up.
Eldest grandson is now 34. Has a 14 yro daughter (my great grand daughter). Plays...
It finally made it to the "Land of Pleasant" living overnight.
Not as bad as you, but it still suxs
Supposed to get blown out of here by T'storms tomorrow afternoon.
Don’t need a part number.
Minkota doesn’t make switches. They buy from a third party.
Should be a mfg. part number on the back of the switch which you can cross reference to a different supplier if need be
You said you don't have a problem with the stainless (braided) cable on your Cannons.
Cannon's uses a 7 strand SS braid on their down riggers. With that being the case, one could surmise that the "braid" itself isn't the issue. Its either the materiel (spectra) or the number of strands that...
