Clean the tank out while you are at it. Get a bucket and dump the tank. Look in there and clean out any sludge. I'd go with new oil back, and new replacement filter. When you hit the engine mounted toggle switch (igntion sw on), voltage should appear at the remote tank motor and can feel...

Did you notice a difference with fuel loading? Try keeping the fuel cells more full than empty, this will add weight shifting the bias to the stern not bow, as grady cabins generally are (vs. CCs). The Islander has a narrow beam which doesn't help. Same goes for anything heavy in the forward...

Which oil tanks were low, the ones in the boat or ones on the motor itself under the cowl ?

Chris, if those are the old electric primers Grday installed and fuel filters at the bottom of the photo, time for the primers to go. The Fs don't need them. I hope the filters are not so low as they seem in photo. The bypass loop fittings on the primers can leak in air w/o fuel leaking out.

RobertH, the anchor locker can hold a lot more than 500 ft when the line extends into the lower V berth area. Presuming you are not always going to use than much all the time, keep the remainder down below in middle V berth. You may want to add a remote station at the bow and haul up from up...

No it doesn't, unless you are letting go of the binnacle lever. There's a friction adjustment for that.

Try denatured alcohol, used it on my car (and boat) under pine trees. Disolves the sap very fast.

Seasick, I wondered about that. The male yamaha fitting goes nowhere? Just blanked off ? If so can just extend the smaller gauge yamaha hose to more forward and snap in a closed plug with the depot fittings.

There needs to be an explanation why your head was full nearly to rim. Go out again in similar conditions and course, and keep all thru hulls closed this time, see if it happens again.

Guys, thanks for the info. Grady's HQ is and has been a first class operation, could not agree more. Can't say the same for some dealer experiences I've had. That's why they are what they are today. Representing superior designed products, IMHO.

Take a look at the For Sale / Wanted section. I'm selling mine. They are the same Lee Jrs. Nuts and bolts, etc. included. Can email you photos as originally mounted by Grady on the boat.

Marine head valving / hru hull valve may have not been in right position and SW backed up while in motion. Does the Tiger have bilge pumps? Was it running ejecting water when you left boat at anchor? The water on the cockpit deck you found, where does it drain to while boat is stationary, say...

Now that's what I call moving up, from 20 to 33 footer! Nice. I presume Grady rigs the motors at the factory? And dealer does the electronics? Motors F350? How are those batts set up, there appears to be four, are two each parrelled? Are they all the same size and type? If not familiar...

Re: 1986 Seafarer 227 Repairs, Updates and Upgrades Correction - Grady used one layer of 1.5 oz mat and one of roven woven. mat againt hull. My supplier has it comes as a combo together. Brian can see if it is, then same as my model & year. You in it now Brian, been there, done that. '

Thanks again guys. I'll be looking for the big Grady center console at the point, NEM!

Re: 1986 Seafarer 227 Repairs, Updates and Upgrades By the way, Grady didn't seal bulkheads from stringers, it's all intimate. They layed all the wood then glassed it in (I bet). Get the middle section in photo it's the major of the bulkhead structure, seal off the continuation for next...

Re: 1986 Seafarer 227 Repairs, Updates and Upgrades Some more ideas - You might be able to cut the skin on motor side all along the base and up the sides, like with dremel cutting bit, I used them work good enough and very compact. Then peel off skin & clear off the wood and prep the other...

Brian, nice. I know you have been looking. As far as name goes, more like "NO PAYMENTS", and half the fuel of former '93 Sailfish ! She's just a longer 204, all these gradys are classics. Better access to head in cabin. And Admiral gets back on the water !

Up to '93 inclusive the galley was equipped with a drop down ice box and later redesigned for the fridge and microwave instead of storage in cabinet as an option. The galley was reshaped to allow a wider surface for the fridge, and the cabinet was made taller for the microwave. I modified the...

Hi guys, Brian emailed me. Been around - not much time regularly to contribute though. Still at it getting Sailfish ready for annual trip to dock at Montauk. See you on the water - BobP
