Can anyone tell me what rod holders were fitted to the 222 in the forward holders either side of the canopy structure at base level? Are they still avaialble?

Thanks to all for such a gracious welcome. I am not at all surprised. I have always thought the Americancs to be the most generous of nations and, as your national motto suggests, take strength from all as the democracy is one. I know like the UK you are In troubled and divided waters right now...

Yeah, we get the impression over this side that the US is really split. The same has happened here, honestly it’s all gone mental and the mother of parliaments is at stalemate. Interesting times for all of us but to be frank I am more worried now than anytime before in my lifetime. UK could...

Thanks for your kind welcome. The serious mqistake you made was to fall in with the British Navy. They are mainly completely boneless snd (if you’ve ever seen Blakadder) you will be aware that once round the Is,e of Wight. Ames the a salty old sea dog. the ones to watch out for in the Navy are...

Hi all, I have just purchased a used Grady White 2007 222 fisherman. As far as I can tell it came via Florida, the Channel Islands and ended up in mainland UK. It will now live on the South Coast of the UK, in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.I have had very limited time with the boat during...

Love this answer. Thank you. Completely pragmatic, very Aussie!! Difference here in bad weather UK is that the water needs to be refreshed not because it goes up to the ambient temperature but because it goes down to it! Actually I am joking but that does raise another thing I have been thinking...

Many thanks to you. My gut said that aerators would not be as good as a water exchanger type solution. I am in the UK and we use live sandeels as a killer bait for our most sporting sea fish, bass. Different from striper bass but, like all bass, just as capable of causing a seriously unhealthy...

I really like this idea. Thank you. My only concern is that I have heard that RWW pumps are not designed to be run for long periods of time. Having said that it seems that there are very inexpensive pumps available that are.

Sorry, I am probably being a bit think here, but have I understood correctly? So, you have a thru hull to feed the RWW pump and you can change the pump to one with a second outlet and use that to feed the livewell tank? I guess this is controlled by the RWW switch on the console? Probably a...

I see that there are many aerator pumps on the market. My oldboat had a livewell that relied solely upon fresh seawater being pumped in constantly and the surplus being flushed out through overflow. That seemed to keep all bait very healthy for many hours. Do these aerator systems achieve the...

Hi, Thanks for that. could you point me in the right direction on Google Diagrams? I'm not really sure what to search for. Many thanks in advance.

I am about to purchase a 2007 GW 222 Fisherman. It does not have the fitted livewell, so I am looking at some sort of retrofit. Could I use the raw water washdown (with a Colman ice box)? Would the amount of water be too rough on baitfish?
