    222 fisherman steering issue

    When you say low speeds, I'm guessing you mean slow speed or no-wake speed? Not sure if you have trim tabs but if you do, try putting them all the way down. I found myself constantly adjusting back and forth when running at these low speeds. When I trim the tabs all the way down, it helps a...

    Is SeaTow Membership Worth the Price?

    Guess I wouldn't care if I had three motors; I'd still have Sea Tow. All it takes is one bad tank of fuel or your batteries crap out and you're SOL. Never had to use Sea Tow and I've never made a claim on my boat insurance but I sure wouldn't cancel it and roll the dice. Sea Tow is cheap...

    222 Livewell Question

    There is a seacock valve handle at the base of the livewell pump that needs to be opened before you use the live well. It is accessed at the deck plate opening in front of the motor splash guard. The stopper should be put in the bottom drain when you operate the livewell so it fills and the...

    Navigating Oregon Inlet in North Carolina

    If you see pablor with his trip 360 turning around, don't go out! I've been down there surf fishing that inlet for many, many years and have seen some crazy stuff especially when the stripers are running. Little 18 footers running back and forth between the breakers-man its not worth it. I...

    Yamaha F250 hits 1,000 hours

    450 hours on mine and so far, knock on wood, it's been excellent. It gets flushed after every time it hits salt water, serviced every 100 hrs and Ringfree on every fill up.

    Toe-Rail Repair

    I had the same thing happen to the toerail on my 222. Can marine epoxy be used to reattach the small piece? I'm guessing the toerail is made of a starboard type material.

    lightning strike

    Ouch! Hope insurance takes care of it. I haven't found anything to help; I just keep my insurance number handy.

    Everyone VS Grady-White!

    I put THT in my rear view mirror. Just signed on to ReelBoating.com; thought I'd give it a try.

    366

    I was surprised to see they named it "Canyon" when that is the same name as the 336. Anyone know if the 336 go away with the intro of the 366 or is this the start of a series like the "Tournament"?

    Cushions

    I use 303 Aerospace protectant on the cushions. If I have a few stubborn spots or mold I scrub the spots with marine Spray Nine, rinse, then a coat of 303.

    Considering Grady Fisherman 222 vs Adverture 20'

    The 250 runs around 48 mph top end in ideal conditions and cruises at 30 mph at 4000 rpm. I run about 3.3 mpg unless things get windy and sloppy then obviously that goes down. I have a 23 gal live well which is a must for me but this is an option, so not all 222's may have one. Three fish...

    Considering Grady Fisherman 222 vs Adverture 20'

    I've had a 222 for 3 years and love it. I fish only in Florida now but I've towed it to northern Illinois and back and had it out on Lake Michigan. The boat is towable with a full size truck/SUV; I towed it with a GMC Yukon 1500 and it did fine. Total weight about 5500 pounds. If you are...

    What battery do you have for your four stroke?

    I use the Deka 27 series and have been happy with them. Just replaced a pair that got me 3 years and 375 hours. I run my livewell constantly when I'm out fishing with the motor off. Mine is a single engine though.

    303 fabric guard

    My fabric t-top was not shedding water like it used to so I treated it with 303 fabric guard which is recommended for Sunbrella fabric. Yesterday, I washed the fabric with 303 fabric cleaner, let it dry in the sun then applied the fabric protector in the sun and let it dry. It was really pretty...

    Changing Batteries

    It's time for me to change out my batteries. If I remove both batteries at the same time before I put in the new ones, will I lose the information stored in the fuel gauge and fuel management system (gallons used)? Should I pull one battery and replace it with the new one before going to the...

    Rub Rail Replacement

    Try calling Grady White customer service. They may have a short piece of scrap they can send you. Don't know how it will match though.
