Here’s some pictures of my setup, I’m not sure if you could swap to the other side.

Hmmm I’ll have to check and get back to you

I don’t think I have noticed a change in steering pressure, I can turn the steering wheel with one finger

Hey Lucky, I don’t have auto pilot, my setup is very basic but it works up here on the Pacific off Vancouver Island. I used to have the threaded bar and nipples etc and it was a pain to connect and disconnect to move the boat to the next fishing spot, the Seastar setup is a lot nicer as it...

I went with the Seastar kicker cable tie bar setup on my 228, perfect solution. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/teleflex-marine-seastar-solutions/66.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq0iN59pRZrxayCOJNGbpQlCvaemW4azQ_aosjw0Fbg6vWtAfAW

Cleaning first with acetone is great advice, mine was a black color, so I thought but the acetone brought out the navy blue factory color.

Welcome to the group, many great ideas, experience and a wealth of knowledge here.

I think Trapper really meant either an authorized Grady dealer or Grady factory direct, just a play on words, us Canadians can be jokers.

Welcome to the Seafarer team!

Hi Marcus, I have used Starboard quite a bit on my Seafarer, bought mine at Industrial Plastics in Courtenay across the moat from you, lots of colours but I think it’s called sand that matches close to the Grady off white color, cheers Don

Same here, I have a Suzuki DF250 on my Seafarer and cruise at 30 mph at 4400 rpm, more than enough torque and speed for me

Hello, back in 2022 a member here named FLWhaler had a full set of curtains for an older Seafarer, you may want to send him a PM to see if he still has them for sale

Ultimately it’s your money so you must feel confident in the condition of the boat for the price you have offered. Let’s face it that all used boats are risky to some degree, the owner should have gone with you on the sea trial and assumed all the risk and cost to get it in the water. My 2 cents.

Thanks for all the advice, I will use the Lucas marine grease on the sliders.

Hello, I just received my upgraded Pompanette helm chairs from Seafarah and was wondering what is recommended for lubricant on the seat sliders? Thanks, Don
