You're on the right track now. Glad you read my input again. You need to be able to manually turn the crank shaft to get the FP off that hard spot. I think i turned my crank clockwise. Making up a tool to do this is smart. And keep it on the boat in your tool kit. By the looks of your 100...

Replacing that fuel pump is of course a good idea. FWIW, I replaced mine with a Facet PN #40185 9.0-11.5 PSI (32 GPH). I personally do not think your issue has anything to do with the capacitors. If your panel continues to not light up, check for an inline 100 amp fuse between your battery...

I love my Fischer Panda. And I am skeptical of a gas generator due to human life safety concerns.

You'll never own another boat without one. Good decision!

"In my opinion you are safer with a mono." < < I concur with this statement above. Remember - there is no one perfect design out there. If there were, everyone would have them. In certain conditions (generally calm), a Cat will outperform a monohull. And vice versa in other conditions...

Luckydude, Marlin all the way per the list you presented. It's literally a ton heavier than the next heaviest boat (my point above). Plus it has the longest waterline (helps bridge across those square waves we deal with in our area). You're well advised to go out and take a ride on the boats...

My inputs on this topic: All Gradys since 2000 have the SeaV2 Hull. They have essentially the same design no matter what size. While on the ocean, if you see a 22 footer off in the distance, then when you get close, you realize it's a 30 footer. The overall SHAPE - length, beam, depth and...

Congratulations Larry. We all only go around this thing called "life" once so we might as well make it count huh? I'm the one who coined the phrase: "The only boat better than a Grady-White, is a BIGGER Grady-White" GW's Marketing Director back in North Carolina should adopt this phrase and...

You ask a good question and you can go eitherway and be fine. I personally like to caulk mine since I fish 99% of the time and all the blood, scales, etc. drain towards that area. By caulking it, I keep the stinky fish smell out of my bilge. I use GE Silicon II in Almond available at any Ace...

I hate to say it as your project looks to be done but yes that clear hose has got to go. The black and green stuff in your first two photos is the right kind of hose to use there. Wire reinforced and will last the life of the boat if installed correctly (with double SS Hose clamps). West...

My two cents... I fished on a friends 330 for years with the Helm Master set-up. My 330 has no Helm Master but a Bow Thruster. I personally prefer the Bow Thruster. On a windy day, I can move my boat sideways easily (Bow Thruster + the leeward engine in reverse). I think nothing replaces...

Well said Mustang... In my case, I do my boating 100% in the Ocean off San Francisco. No protection at all. So upgrading to my 330 made perfect sense. In your case, that 228 is likely all you will ever need. It's the best 22 footer ever made in my opinion.

I've said it before and will say it again. The only boat better than a Grady-White, is a BIGGER Grady-White! I went from a 228 to a 265 to a 330. No regrets at all.

Question to Sibs, Did your new seat fit onto your existing pedastal (i.e. Post) ? And do you recall the name or model # of your purchase. I'm interested in doing the same as you. I too have the pompanette platinum seat on my 2006 330. Thanks, Jack

Years ago, I know of a 228 Owner who "almost" endured some big ass swells off Half Moon Bay, California. It was Crab Season (this time of year) and I recall the swells were in the 12-15 foot range. The boat was entering our Harbor and rolled turtle with these large swells parallel to the boat...

1. Fore and aft High Water Alarms - because it could save my life. 2. AIS Transponder - because it could save my life. 3. Converted a large Fish Box into a Pressurized Live Well - because it keeps bait and other fish happy in the roughest conditions. Think of bait stored in two, one...

No problem to wet slip any boat. It's simply about maintenance and up keep. Good paint will last a minimum of two seasons, often three. Having a Diver scrub 3-4X per year is normal. The Diver can inspect and change Zincs as need be. After wet slipping - you'll learn to hate and never ever...

Maybe your Anchor light up top?

Your white fenders look a bit small to me and the orange ball is too big and unnecessary in my opinion. I'd upsize your white fenders and consider a 3rd. Hanging a third from the rail post is no problem since it doesn't take much of a load. Most of all - if you get good at launching and...

Yes of course! It's coming from the nut. Now that makes perfect sense...
