Those look like they'd fit, but how do they sound?

Thanks fellas. Grady 228, didn't mean to hijack your post, sorry. I'm pretty familiar with Automotive/home audio and know Marine is a specialization of automotive. I guess I'm just not comfortable spec'ing out a box speaker that is 8 Ohm, to be driven by a 4 Ohm rated amp. I would likely...

G8RDave, I'm interested in your set up. I have a an '05 226 and have been leaning towards box speakers from the hard top, but haven't found a good quality speaker that's 4 Ohm to be driven from a solid marine/automotive amp (most good speakers I've found are 8Ohm and the amps are 4Ohm). Can...

This is great stuff, thanks folks... Keep it coming!

I'm looking to plan a short cruise down the ICW from Brick NJ to somewhere in the DC area (along the VA coast, maybe close to Mason Neck State Park). This is my 1st venture and am looking for any/All advice. Thought is to keep it to 100-125 miles per day or so. One stop Cape May, the other...

Hi Folks, was wondering if anyone had some ideas for outriggers for a 226? I'd rather not go to the extent of mounting in my hard top, and was hoping there may be some solutions that can use existing gunwale rod holders. Considering rod riggers, but am thinking I'd rather look into proper...

I just took a blade off and went to Pep Boys. Found a match and installed two new blades. They work perfectly.

if the layout (wiring and plumbing) for the 88 Seafarer is similar or even the same as the 05, then the pump for the fresh water shower (cockpit shower) and the faucet is under the Port side seat. Again, if similar or the same, and IF this mystery pump is in the cabin, Starboard storage, then...

I have an '05 226 and I know that in my cabin, in the starboard storage there's the hydraulic pump for my trim tabs. Does your boat still have functional trim tabs?

ooops I mean afford. :D

I say get the most you can affort to buy and feed.

Howdy folks, I'm totally digging my 2005 226, but I do have one serious problem...NO TUNES!!! I've seen some posts here, so I have a sense on where to mount speakers....likely hang them from the hard top next to the spreader lights. Now, I'm certainly no audiophile, but I do want...

Hi Folks, I thought i'd ask for some opinions... My cockpit shower (2005 226) works just fine except the hose is black and stiff. This makes it difficult to pull out gunwale to use and has even caused the handle/nozzle to pull from the hose. The other week, I was rafted with a 33...

Just received a reply from Grady on the "procedure". "By periodically, we mean once or twice a year. We recommend pulling up the 6" deck plates and spraying inside the compartment with fresh water. This will help remove any salt residue that may accumulate over time and will lengthen the...

Hi folks, Quick question. I have a '05 226 and when reading the manual it says to rinse the fuel tank storage area periodocially. Can you do this through the access plates?? I'm hoping you don't actually have to remove the panels that cover the tank.... Can you just open the acces plates and...

You want the fuel to deliver the proper mix. You mix 1:10 and both motors will get the prescribed ratio. (presuming they both run off the same tank(s).

Damn...LOL :lol: Sorry...type faster than I think sometimes.

I'm not sure where Beaver Damn Creek is, but Green Cove is right around the corner.

I run out of the Manasquan. I keep my boat in Brick in the Metedeconk all the way up by rt 70. I think the link I posted were bearings from the Manasquan Inlet.

I found this online. I can't speak to it's accuracy, but it seems reasonable. There are GPS numbers for many, many fishing locations I've heard of in the past. I just found it the other week so I'm still deciphering and exploring. Check it out...
