Problem solved!

After sitting for 2 years due to a medical problem ,I m putting my boat back on the water.. I bought 2 new batteries and install them. Number 1 is working but #2 isn`t. The reason for this is the ground. Can someone tell me Where these main grounds cables connect. I jumped from #1 and 2 ground...

I hate mine so much I kept it for 11 years. :mrgreen:

I have a 1998 ,228.A few years ago I had a problem with the extention rods which connent to the seacock tru-hulls.The ball joint on the tru-hull side was made of mild steel and failed when I attempted to operate the valve,leaving me with the rod in my hand in a half open position.I was lucky...

My 228 sets on a 7#K Loadmaster.

Get yourself an anchor ball and learn how to use it.

When I bought my boat I had a Chevy 1500 4X4 with a 305ci engine 373 rear and tow pk.It pulled it ok except for merging onto interstates and pulling steep hills.I install a pair of airbags on the rear which was a big help in leveling and stability.When I retired I treated myself to a new truck...

When I bought my trailer it was only around $100 to increase from a 6K to a 7K so that is what I did.My trailer is a Loadmaster.

I don`t think there would be a big difference in the performance between the two if powered with the same engine.The one thing I have found with my 228 is that it a bit squirly backing up,but if you trim the engine up a bit it not as bad.The reason I got the 228 was I liked the closed transom.

I added 4 Taco clamp on`s to my boat,they really look good compared to others.The main reason for the install was because I`m kinda short and those roof tops are a PITA for me.

I used to tow my boat,228 H/T 225 OX66,with chevy 1500 4X4,305ci engine 373 rear limited slip.The trailer is a loadmaster 7K tandum.The truck pulled it ok,but on steep hills she would squalk a bit. I added a set of air bags to the rear which made a big difference on the handling and tracking of...

I was talking to two guys the other day.They went out on a off shore wreck trip and caught a few of the biggest flounder they have ever seen.I know it had to be hard to though em back [out of season].They did get some real nice seabass and that was what they were fishin for.

I have a Loadmaster aluminiun I beam bunk trailer for my boat. It is rated for 7000#`s,so as mentioned above you will need a trailer rated for more weight.I have had both types of trailers bunk/rollers and perfer the bunks.There is a guy who owns East Coast Trailers his name is Steve,that I have...

Well in the summer I keep it rolled up.Now in the winter thats a different story.We do a lot of fishing in the winter down at the CBBTwhich is a 500 mile round trip.It would almost be imposible to attach those canvas snaps at 5AM on a cold January morning.Having said that the canvas on my boat...

I got nothing ,but then again I didn`t talk to Jeff and my boat was 6 years old but had less than 400 hours on it.Grady White was certainly aware of the problem.
