    Roll enclosure up or take off for the summer

    Mine were kept rolled in a king sized pillow case for 12 years and they look like new. I'm keeping the side curtains and foward windshield part in the boat (starboard cabin storage bin) for use in case I get stuck in a bad storm. Came in handy last weekend when it was 68 degrees with the wife...

    226/228 hardtop- can someone measure theirs?

    Thanks for the measurements. Ill go check mine. As for selling it? No way. I've never seen a more pristine 2001 in my life. It looks like a 1-2 year old boat. Maybe in a few years I could sell it for a 27-30 footer with hardtop.

    226/228 hardtop- can someone measure theirs?

    Well the problem is there are two of those shed/canopies. One next to the house my mother parks her SUV under- the boat has to back up through that, then a straight shot into the 28' long one in the back yard. So going taller isn't an option. If the hard top won't work, my parents want to chop...

    226/228 hardtop- can someone measure theirs?

    It's hard to eye ball it from the pics, but it looks like it won't fit to me. I'll need to measure to be sure. If I get a top made- I'm sure I could spec a lower height- I don't need a foot over my head do I? I could forgo the overhead electronics box, etc- I only need it for shade and I can...

    226/228 hardtop- can someone measure theirs?

    I'm interested in putting a hardtop on my 226, but I need to make sure it'll clear under my steel canopy first- my canopy legs are 8' and it goes over 10' in the middle. I'm not sure what the best way to measure it is- but if someone has a hardtop on their 226/228, maybe measure the height from...

    Gas over flowed and ruined my stripes!

    I filled up my boat two weeks ago. When I uncovered it today, there was yellow gook all over the side from the fuel fill back to the transom. My blue stripe is all eaten, the glue running down. My GRADY-WHITE letters took a hit, but are still sticking for now. What happened? It looks like...

    Replacing Dome Lights

    I'm looking to do the same thing. I have 1 perko dome light in my 226. I think it's the 3.5" model. I found an awesome LED array that allows you to switch between red and white lighting with the same switch, but I don't know if it'll fit inside the dome. I'm going to try it out...

    Seafarer 226 fuel sender reading

    Rigging issue. Either a wire problem, dip switch on the gauge, or in the sender. Like posted above- the dealer will take care of it.

    Seafarer cockpit light issues

    I couldn't find an HZ with a 5 amp rating. I think it listed it as obsolete. I looked up the specs and the HT looks like the same thing to me. http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/358/typ_ts-701-16343.pdf I had to replace an accessory breaker because when I bought the boat, the threaded neck was broken...

    Seafarer cockpit light issues

    Yup, seasick is right. Pull the switch panel out and check with a 12v test light- the kind with an alligator clip on a wire and the probe looks like a screwdriver with a point on it. I bet the breaker is bad. See if there is power going to the breaker. The electrical panel has looped orange...

    Who's Grady is ready for the season

    Did our first ride last weekend. My 2.5 year old loved it, especially that channel markers have numbers and he's learning to count.

    What ski/tube towing bridle?

    Thanks for the info! I was worried the hooks wouldn't fit the stern eyes based on some amazon reviews- but those were for the smaller version.

    What ski/tube towing bridle?

    Kwik Tek Airhead Heavy Duty Tow Harness- it's the one with the yellow with black tracer. Haven't ordered it yet, it's in my Amazon cart. http://www.airhead.com/p/heavy-duty-tow-harness?pp=24 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MW ... PDKIKX0DER

    Rear view mirror?

    Anyone run a rear view mirror on their boat? I had them on past boats. Helps out on busy lakes, especially since I'm now in a "slow" boat. I have one with a suction cup, but it won't work with the textured dash. I could bolt one to the windshield, or keep it low behind the cabin hatch.

    What ski/tube towing bridle?

    I found this one- bet it'll work. 16' and oversized clips.

    What ski/tube towing bridle?

    Anyone recommend a high quality bridle to tow a tube or skier from a Grady? I've read that some of the cheaper ones are too short and the clips won't fit around the large stern eyes. Or maybe make my own? Some big stainless clips, amsteel line, and a floating pulley?

    LED for attwood 2nm sternlights (Grady cockpit lights)

    Nice. I went with marine beam.com bulbs in warm white. Fit and look great. Same color as stock bulb. Should be pleasant on the eyes at night.

    Trailer Tires

    I have the Load Star 550 tires on my trailer. They look like they're really struggling under the light load of my 226. They're only load range C. Yuck. Anyone know how to decipher the DOT code to figure out how old they are? The trailer is an '07, but I wonder how much older than that they...
