The wiper system definitely lived it's life and then some. I was not able to get the arm off despite prying with a block of wood and screw driver, lifting the latch, and watching multiple videos online. Left it soaking with penetrating oil but it has to wick up into the the shaft so that seems...

I have a couple of broken springs on my window wipers that are causing the wipers to not function correctly. Has anyone replaced these springs or have a part number/where to buy replacements? 1994 Grady White Seafarer 228G

Wow I love your organization and skill! Thank you!

Where did you get the switches with writing on them and switch panel? Going through my switches they seems like they are on their last leg. After removing the switch panels I noticed the core material there is rotted. Not sure there's anything I can do about that now or if there is.. Talked to...

Here are some pictures of my boat with and without a line going across the side where I want to put another cleat. I talked to Grady and they didn't have a part numbers for a boat as old as 1994 but their best guess was an Attwood 66110-2. The closest Attwood part I can find now is: 66110-3...

Does anyone know where I can purchase a matching set of the cleats that are on my grady? I didn't see any writing on my cleats so I don't know the manufacturer, etc. There are no cleats on the front of my 1994 Grady Seafarer 228G except for one in the bow and I find it hard to leave the boat at...

When I bought my used 1994 Seafarer 228G if came with these cup holders that were screwed into the railings (teak) on either side of the port and starboard jump seats. Since both holes are at the bottom, a mug with liquid higher than the holes will move around while underway and topple over. Any...

Wow that looks a lot nicer, thanks for sharing! I don't have an enectronics stoage up top like you do, only the two compartments down below but will consider flush moutning my CL5 lower display. I wanted to mount it in my with Garmin but there isn't enough room. I suspect when they made this...

Boat: 1996 Grady White 228G 1) Does anyone know what the type of wood used around the electronic housing and on the cover that protects the electronics housing. It's 30 years old and harely handing on so I'd like to replace it. 2) What is the material of the clear cover? It's also pretty...

Awesome! Always wanted to do something like this. Do you steer by moving the other engines?

I recently moved my batteries to the bow in preperation for a new engine. Boats still at the shop so haven't tried it out yet. Was more of a pain than I thought and 2awg wires along cost $400. Had to also buy a hydaulic crimper and crimps for the cables...took a lot of work to get it done. Also...

I was told by Wexco that: 4R1.12.R110D crosses to the WWF12C16 However, I am still not able to find the degree of swing or the shaft length so haven't been able to purcahse a replacement motor. I don't leave near my boat which is at the shop getting a new engine so I'm not able to remove a...

TIme to replace my windshield motors on my 1994 228G and wondering what the writing means on these motors. Trying to find out the specs on these motors such as degree of swing and shaft length. These wiper motors have never parked, they just stop wherever they are when I turn the switch off so...

Pulled the hatch off and sucked about 1 gallon of water out from inside. If water gets in, how is it supposed to drain? Anyone know the screw size/length that holds the hatch on? Somehow lost one and now the boat is at the yard for a new engine so can't run out to check. Also not sure what a...

Since I'm getting a new heavier motor I decided now is the time to move the batteries and see how she rides. Worst case it will be easy to move them back. Moved the battery switch into the botton left of the cabin and added a new 40A fuse for the aux 12V power. Ignore the mess of wiring that...
