I just purchased a Bilge B Dry single pump for my 228. The little bit of water rolling around down there bothers me and getting to it is PITA because of the livewell. I'm looking at and trying to figure out where or how to run the hose overboard. Its like clear aquarium tubing you get from the...

I had bolsters made by Affordable Boat Cushions. I'm very happy with them and I will be ordering my Pompanette helm cushions from them in next few weeks. They have all the Grady templates. www.affordableboatcushions.com

I never did this so Ill do it now: Thor's Outlaw John 2002 Seafarer 228 2002 Yamaha F225

With a new install Id look at Zipwake. I might make the upgrade this winter on mine. They are pricey but worth it if you spend a lot of time on the boat.

I have the same bracket and mine does not have any foam in it. There is also a drain bung underneath. Sorry I cant help with the screws.

Following this thread as Ive been shopping around for one myself. Got my EPIRB, Zoleo Sat Communicator just need a raft next and Ill push my "little" 228 farther to find some bigger Yellowfins.

Ive done 34 miles off the the south shore of Long Island for tuna in my 228. I have no kicker (which ive considered) I carry an EPRIB, life jackets and I have a Zoleo satellite communicator so I can text with my family/rescue and let them know if Im in trouble. I also have my MMSI number...

This is exactly what I'm doing at the end of this season. I'm replacing my 2002 F225 (1250 hrs) and going for a new F250 however, my local dealer is making a notable effort to talk me out of the the fly by wire and electronic shift for some reason. Telling me to keep it all mechanical. The...

Wait...There are supposed to be storage pans under the stern seats?? I just have the starboard covers.

Basically just fishing around for a good space to mount the backbone. I was thinking behind the helm but I don't think I have much space in there.

Hey All, Ill need to start a NMEA backbone and was wondering where some of you have placed yours on an older Grady, I have an 02 228 and am looking for suggestions. Thanks

Good looking project boat. Can you tell me if those outrigger mounts are supported from underneath. Is there an aluminum plate or starboard? Or anything at all. Id like to do something similar with my boat. Thanks

I hear ya, thanks. After I posted, I looked through a few more threads and I found a link for custom aluminum pieces. You think 1/4inch thick would suffice? I could cut into 4x4 squares.

Hey All, I got water in my bracket last year and want to reseal the bracket to the transom with fresh sealant since the boat is now 22 years old. The water likely came from the inspection plate up top but, might as well do the whole job since the boat is out of the water atm. Anyone know the...
