The rear seat cushions are attached by 2 snaps behind the cushion. Once you unsnap the cushions raise up in the cushions and they will come off the two brackets holding them to the stern.

I was told if it has ethanol in the gas. Empty the tank If not, keep full.

I have a 226 and asked a Grady Designer at a boat show why they do not have a drop in for the aux tank area. His answer: Grady does not allow any area under the floor that can not drain overboard. That is why boxes are not available from Grady.

I have an AP11 and it has really never worked properly. Now when I turn it on I get Actuator FAIL. Where do I begin to look to fix this issue. This driving manually is the pits. I know, I know.. It is not going to be cheap. BOAT

Congrats. If you are not familiar to boating just take it slow and ask a lot of questions. You really should take a basic boating class. Please do this and save yourself a lot of headaches. Ill tell you what. I have a nice 2005 226 Seafarer that I will trade with you for a year or two so...

That is why I love this site. I logged on to ask that exact question on my 2005 226. Thanks

Stikezone-- I like your picture...boat. My boat has a soft top and no bow pulpit. If you were to add one of the two things( hard top or bow bulpit) which would you add and why?

Ok to all: I know there is a marina guide. Is there a lodging guide for the ICW? On another topic...I am thinking of stopping at Bald Head island for a day at the beach with my kids. How would I do this? I know of one marina there. Is there a cheap way to keep my boat there and get to...

bc282 I went to the Grady dealership and they said they had sold out of everything. Not one Grady on the lot. They wouldn't be able to get anymore in until the 2010 model year comes out. :-) I have thought of a bigger Grady but until the bank account gets bigger I am stuck with a 226...

I agree about a Hilton. Either I need to lose about 6 inches in height or the 226 is just too short to sleep in. I will be coming down the ditch from Deltaville, Va this summer and wish the Waterway Guides would expand on the Motel/Hotels nearby. The last time I did the ditch I was in my...

Yes, that does help. I tend to want to carry everything on board and take everything off when I am finished but I need to stop doing that. Any other suggestions on sleeping overnight on the boat? Do you have a fan that you use?

I have a 05 226 Seafarer and I am going to be using it for a few overnighters this season. When I travel I like to have an extra anchor on board with plenty of rode, enough life vests for passengers, coolers for food, drinks etc. I also have clothes in a duffle bag and a bag for charts etc. I...

Aux hatch Check out www.finaddictmarine.com. This might be exactly what we all want.

Space for Aux tank Its funny that so many people want the same thing. When I was l at a boat show last year one of the designers from GW was there. I asked him why they couldn't/ wouldn't make that space available with a hatch. He said that was the most often question he gets on the 226/228...
