    First trip to the Vineyard

    Yeah I come out of Waquoit and go to the vineyard all the time (rarely moor just fish) There really shouldn't be any shoals between oystervill and the vineyard you should need to worry about other than in oysterville bay or just outside depending on your boat. Most likely cause is the boat...

    The new to me Seafarer fishing Curse is Over!

    You were on your boat and you caught a fish. Nothing else matters. I hope you enjoy many such relaxing days in the future.

    2000 26ft grady

    Yeah I'm going to agree with the guys above. I recently purchased a 2000 226 and have experienced the same thing occasionally, and know it's because of my fumbling with the trim tabs (mine don't have the fancy lights) as I learn how to use them in different conditions. Kind of freaked my wife...

    Navionics and Lowrance HDS ?

    One more thing that was an issue with HDS unit's if you have two slots and older software versions, it needed to be the right hand slot (I think definitely one of the two) Now in my Carbon with the latest firmware it doesn't seem to matter which slot its in now. But you do need to select which...

    New Grady White Owner

    Ah. No I put mine inside the glove compartment. Because my wife didn’t want a starboard covering it over. And was saying it fit inside and there’s still plenty of room to store things.

    Seafarer 226

    What is it about the seafarer that makes her uncomfortable. The seating, nausea, the head space, while underway or while anchored? There are a lot of different things that could be done to make her more comfortable. This is a topic I've spent a lot of time thinking about and researching as my...
