    Mounting Fish Finder in Electronics Box - Gulfstream

    I was thinking of updating my gps/ fish finder, and putting it in the overhead of my Seafarer similar to your setup. Did you need to run an external GPS antenna? My current gps/fish finder was on the boat when I bought it and is probably 10-12 years old and has an external gps antenna. Curious...

    Replacing horn on 2003 228

    Thanks everyone! I cut the wires as close to the old horn to give me more slack to connect the new wires (which I needed for the shrink tubes over the connections). To be honest, I was a little nervous but I was able to connect, feed the excess wire in the existing hole, and reseal). Poor...

    Replacing horn on 2003 228

    Hi- any suggestions on how to replace the dual mini horns on a 228 next to the windshield wiper? I thought it was going to be pretty simple ( 2 screws, 2 wires) until I pulled the cover in the cabin and found just the wiper motor with no room to get access to the horn wires. Do I need to snake...

    228 cockpit scuppers

    Hi- I have a similar problem on mt '03 228. Drains fine, but if there is a lot of weight in corner, water comes in. I believe it's the original rubber /plastic in the scupper.

    2003 Grady 228 Windlass Suggestions?

    I'm still loving my new to me grady 228, and this site has been great (especially the tips on maneuvering in tight quarters with the Grady drive)! My Grady had everything I want / need except a raw water wash down + windlass. I added the raw water wash down before the season, and I looking at...
