Reluctantly, we have decided to sell our beloved vessel, Choices. She is a Grand Banks 36 Europa, with fiber glass factory decks, single Lehman 135, bow thruster, 5.5kw Northern Lights genset, Garmin Electronics, all windows replaced/rebedded with Awlgrip, completely redone beautiful interior...

I have been perusing looper videos at the suggestion of my friends. On most of these, the videos are of a ship shape vessel with smiling husband and wife demonstrating boat handling techniques with amazing gadgetry. But what I question is most of them have their docklines tied to the bow...

I started a blog of our boat, a 92, 36 Europa, about five years ago to document our travels and upgrades to the boat, "grandbankschoices". Since that time people have reached out to me through the blog and most have become very good friends. The blog has taken a gentle turn lately toward GB...

I have a 92 GB. We can not get the engine control alarm lights to illuminate, unless turning the engine power breaker off, when they will flash. Has anyone ever troubleshooted these panels? I have 12 vdc at the panel. I can not force the lights on, even at the terminal block. Alarm buzzer...

After less than two weeks our Jabsco HD fresh water pump died. Currently cut wires to pressure switch and we are pressuring up via circuit breaker. Seems pressure switch died, pump still works. Amazing the crap that is getting manufactured these days. I am considering using a SqrD well...

We purchased about twenty yards of white phifortex to match our Grand Banks Europa gel coat. This covers all our windows and completely enclosed the back deck. Of twenty panels, three stained from pine tree pollen. Not sap, wind blown pollen. The boat was indoors, under cover. All panels cut...

Looking for GB refrigerator or freezer stainless steel shelf and mounting feet. 17.25"w x 11.25"d PM me please.

I need to repaint the interior. Would like to hear from owners who have color matched the ZSpar to other manufacturer's and their paint codes or mix schedules. Also if colors were a match. NO LATEX, only oil base. Thanks, Mike

I have just started rebuilding a leaking Garmin autopilot Smart Pump. There seems to be no information on this proprietary design, not even a parts diagram. I will post pics soon, but for now you can see it on our blog, "grandbankschoices". The blog accepts full size pictures, so posting is...

I have a set of 36 Europa rear deck canvas with iso glass for patterns. Also misc gunnel covers and window covers. Free, just need to figure how to get them to someone. In the Houston South Louisiana area.

I hate looking at crappy Stainless. We inherited two VHF bases with the boat, and upon close inspection determined they were mounted on 2x4 yellow pine bases painted white. Not exactly to my high standards. I thought about making them from teak or mahogany and painting them with Awlwood, but...

Not sure about the other captains on here, but my boat came with a nifty binder with all kinds of data in it. Problem is, when going through locks, checking bridge heights, marina spaces, or contacting the Coast Guard I had to send someone to go get it. I had Bernard Engraving make me a pair...

The vessel is a 92, 36 Grand Banks Europa. The windshield wiper system was original and in a bad state of repair. The shafts were almost gone, the arms frozen on, the stainless springs missing or broken. I took a hacksaw and with a couple of strokes cut the shaft and twisted the arm off...

Two of us are headed to Beaumont from Ft Myers the end of the month. Anyone going that direction is welcome to tag up. Looking for information on marinas from Tarpon Springs to Apalachicola / Panama City. We have heard Sun Harbor does not have docks rebuilt yet, and will confirm today. If we...

Boat has 135 Lehman. It has two plate zinc's on the stern, one on prop shaft, two on bow thruster, one pencil zinc on heat exchanger. I regularly find the zinc almost gone in the heat exchanger. Could be cause it's smaller. The issue is all that trash in picture at end of heat exchanger...

My boat does not have a fuel polishing set up, and burns fuel so slow I would like to add one. Below is my layout in black. Red is what I would like to add for the polisher. My plan is to use a Walbro 12v pump plumbed after a Raycor 500 with a vacuum gauge, that will keep spare parts easy...

Vessel is a single screw with 135 Lehman, factory fiberglass decks, Northern Lights, genset, currently in Ft Meyers for winter. Great shape. Hope to make Trawler Forum reunion in February. $225k. Mike 713.899.7627 leave message.

I decided to build my own flush system. The photo shows everything but the reducer, not delivered yet. The Groco 500 has a 3/4" hose outlet. The cap threads measure about 2.75" OD. Actual thread size is 2.5". I found the 2.5" threaded fitting and reducer bsng to 3/4" at Grainger for about...
