    Updating stereo on boat 228

    It was mentioned earlier but I can’t say enough good things about the Skar audio speakers. Their CS is great too. You can buy about 3 pairs for what JL cost and you won’t notice the difference in sound…only in your wallet.

    Anyone added a trolling motor (salt water) to Fisherman (216)?

    I recommend calling or emailing Grady customer service. They have been very helpful to me. I upgraded my standard stereo and needed the location of the rigging tubes and wiring. They sent me this which was a huge help in running new power cables and speaker wires

    Freedom 307 hardtop wiring for Sirius Antenna

    I’ve had great success with GW customer service on finding these hidden items. I had the base stereo system. When I upgraded I asked them for wiring diagram and they sent both the base and upgraded as well as the schematic for the rigging tubes which was a huge help in running wires. I...

    Freedom 307 hardtop wiring for Sirius Antenna

    The straight pipe on the helm is the chase. You can pop off the center cover under the hard top. The one with the lights in it. Just take a screw driver and gently pry. Once you get one side popped off you can pull it down. Be careful as the wire to the lights will be attached. The control box...

    How shallow can GW 235 freedom go

    I’m not splitting hairs on the skeg vs bottom. Agree if you want more offset to the true bottom that gives you more. I think I draft about 22-24 inches of just hull. So if I leave the offset at 0, when the depth reads 3 it is really about 5. Given waves and rocking etc if I’m depending on that...

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    I have the sunshade mounted under the top on my boat. So the rod holders have to be above this. I do have to stand on my tippy toes to get the rods out…I am 6’1. Spinning rods are pretty easy but a 50w is a little harder. I had no choice given the sunshade but it’s not like you are accessing...

    How shallow can GW 235 freedom go

    I never set the keel offset. That extra 6”-1’ is an extra safety margin. That’s really the number you want anyway. How far from the bottom of the boat to the bottom of the water. Top of water to bottom of water isn’t relative.

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    Sorry yes meant GW. Yes the cross bar has a crown in it. There are three mounting tabs. I bolted the center down first and then drilled and bolted the sides. There was maybe 3/4 gap on one side if I held the other side down. This was easily pulled down when tightened up. The curve and crown were...

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    I live in FL and had the GE rocket launcher shipped in. No problem at. Great construction. Lined up. Used larger fender washers on both sides, 4200, and my locks topped with cap nuts. Looks factory.

    Trolling Motor on GW 235?

    I haven’t found any need to network the TM with the MFD. what are you using it for? With gps and and a remote you can move it around or hit auto lock. Use the MFD for fish finder or chart. If you are bottom fishing. Drive over the spot. Hit auto. Fish.

    96" Rhodan on Grady 336 Canyon

    I know it’s not as big but my 96 holds great in waves. With all the windows in it gets push around a bit in high winds. But pretty much holds. was in 4-5 for ground swell off a reef in the Abacos this summer and we were locked on a spot.

    Freedom 325 Electronics Setup

    I’m a simrad fan due the more compatibility with charts like Cmor. X2 on the dual displays. Way more useful than one large. Nice boat! Congratulations!!

    Anyone added a trolling motor (salt water) to Fisherman (216)?

    Your deck mounting will probably need some kind of plate. Mine is about a 2in thick piece of starboard fitted to my deck. It hangs over the side a couple inches so the shaft clears the rub rail.

    Anyone added a trolling motor (salt water) to Fisherman (216)?

    You won’t need one that long. Mine has 120lbs of thrust. You will not need that much. My set up came with a charger that would charge off the motors. And it would charge when plugged in to shore power. The lithium batters will need a separate charger than your current onboard charger(if you have...
