I would drive drive both and see what ride and handling characteristic you prefer. Both handle and ride noticeably different. personally I prefer a running surface to the motor. Only bracket boat I think grady sells nowadays is the seafarer and gulfstream. Newer designed models don’t have...

look at the post from OMER https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/windlass-installation.29914/page-2#post-191722 Your pro fish hole you have to drill won’t be as far back as his and still he had to make a slide for rope to not bunch up underneath. im about to do the same just have to get the...

It Split hatch isn’t for free falling. It’s for pulling in 75+ foot of rope. Rope bunches up under neath the pulpit I’m waiting for my pulpit to crap out so I can get the split hatch and windlass Grady puts on their new model seafarers

Save yourself the headache of modifying and unjamming. Get the split hatch and lewmar windlass for it.

Yeah curious how much the split hatch is also.

Both of my batteries were on port side of my 2005 226. Moved them both to the starboard side. Now it leans to starboard. But level when on plane because of prop torque. Most prop torque is at 12 through 3 o’clock of the prop revolution. Causing a port lean on a single motor application.

A 99? gas tank and transom motor very reliable but low hours can be a bad thing Like internal Corrosion if used in saltwater and sat not used. Motor still 21 years old yanno. a 99 car that was parked on a beach would u buy? Hours don’t really matter in my opinion

X2 would like to know same thing.

Did you compression check the motor for a head gasket leak?

What you gotta do is select two pictures then top right corner u select size and then click it to large. Then unselect the second pic or keep it but you need two pics selected for the resize option to come up

If it’s like my seafarer the screen is built into the door slit vents

Before and after. Tied end of rope to a 2x4 with a hole in it as a stopper. Also taped the rope with red tape so shouldn’t go that far as I can see the warning tape.

Yeah this is what I’m talking about. Mine isn’t as bad I put cap nuts on the bow eye bolts and cut of the tie loop from the bow eye backing plate. Now it’s only 1 or 2 bunches on 100’ pull. There is a member on here by Omer and he put a stainless plate slide u set his. What I’m going to do. I...

This is my 2005 250 at 428 hours.

Saw this video on the interwebs and the guy doesn’t say what year it is but I really like that dash he has for his electronics. Or maybe that’s how Australians model seafarers are?

Yeah I have 250’ 8 plait. Thinking about cutting 100’ off idk I’m out in the ocean a lot 80+ depth. The biggest reason is bunch’s you is the windlass is in front of the bow eye. I bunch’s up for the all thread and nuts forward. This winter I’m going to do something like Omer did and put a...

We have the same boat and I have the windlass I guess grady put on them? Anyways I had a new canvas I would put the windlass on the anchor hatch like they do on the new ones. From what I gather you can order that hatch from Grady. It then makes then rope go right into deepest part of the...

Even if it had a battery tender the bilge pump doesn’t get all the water out and makes the bilge stay wet and causes soft decks and corroded connections below deck.

I use FishWeather app

Well bought the 226 with 427 hours this winter. Was looking for a 282 but plans changed and for the time being a smaller boat works best for us. In a month and a half put 50 hours on her up to 477. personal opinion I looked for the 226 and not the 228. Right away had to remove the motor and...
