    Fix rubber strip on my 228

    Thanks will try to reposition it first before investing 10 dollars a foot (if failed). The helm area will be tricky so I'll do the transom side first (easier).

    Fix rubber strip on my 228

    Hi ... any advice on the best way to fix loose rubber strips ... It seems that strips lost their elasticity. It won't be a matter of gluing it (becoming shorter than the original length) ... Do I need to replace them? if yes, which ones should I buy.. thanks

    Wreck anchor for Grady 228

    My Grady 228 (2004) has a Delta anchor and windlass ... I am going to fish a rocky area and think of getting a Wreck (Grapnel anchor) ... What size (weight) should I use? ... it won't be attached to a chain to reduce the possibility of being stuck. Thank you

    Livewell drain fitting

    Maybe I have a different tank! the inlet is at the top. If no water is flowing from the inlet, the tank remains full unless I remove the drain. I installed a regulator for the pump to control the time of its operation based on the amount and type of bait.

    Livewell drain fitting

    Thank you for your reply... Unfortunately, the hose was disconnected from the livewell itself and not from the scupper ... this was a two-person operation. Now, being alone, I can't do it in the same reverse order :( ... The only way is to connect everything to the live well then secure it to...

    Livewell drain fitting

    Thank you for your reply .... maybe mine is at the waterline because of the weight of the 4 stroke kicker. Do I need to add silicone or any gasket... or just double clamp the hose?.... I must say that many boat brands e.g. Boston whaler are much better than Grady-White when it comes to...

    Livewell drain fitting

    Hi all, I changed the livewell pump on my 2004 228 but I am unable to reinstall the livewell hose back properly. The space is too tight to refit the hose to the drain at the bottom of the livewell and secure it with the double clamps. Should the hose be fitted to the bottom of the livewell first...

    Thank you for the great help .. Definitely, I'll use your photo to install the ducer .. i am still not clear how far the ducer should project below the transom. Due to the deadrise angle of the boat, if i keep it 3 mm below waterline as recommended by Simrad (side close to the central line)...
