    Window Wiper Spring

    The wiper system definitely lived it's life and then some. I was not able to get the arm off despite prying with a block of wood and screw driver, lifting the latch, and watching multiple videos online. Left it soaking with penetrating oil but it has to wick up into the the shaft so that seems...

    Replacement Wood and Clear Cover

    Where did you get the switches with writing on them and switch panel? Going through my switches they seems like they are on their last leg. After removing the switch panels I noticed the core material there is rotted. Not sure there's anything I can do about that now or if there is.. Talked to...

    Where To Buy Grady Cleats?

    Here are some pictures of my boat with and without a line going across the side where I want to put another cleat. I talked to Grady and they didn't have a part numbers for a boat as old as 1994 but their best guess was an Attwood 66110-2. The closest Attwood part I can find now is: 66110-3...

    Where To Buy Grady Cleats?

    Does anyone know where I can purchase a matching set of the cleats that are on my grady? I didn't see any writing on my cleats so I don't know the manufacturer, etc. There are no cleats on the front of my 1994 Grady Seafarer 228G except for one in the bow and I find it hard to leave the boat at...

    Seafarer 228G Cup Holders for front seat?

    When I bought my used 1994 Seafarer 228G if came with these cup holders that were screwed into the railings (teak) on either side of the port and starboard jump seats. Since both holes are at the bottom, a mug with liquid higher than the holes will move around while underway and topple over. Any...

    Replacement Wood and Clear Cover

    Wow that looks a lot nicer, thanks for sharing! I don't have an enectronics stoage up top like you do, only the two compartments down below but will consider flush moutning my CL5 lower display. I wanted to mount it in my with Garmin but there isn't enough room. I suspect when they made this...

    TIme to replace my windshield motors on my 1994 228G and wondering what the writing means on these motors. Trying to find out the specs on these motors such as degree of swing and shaft length.

    New motor Arriving: Is my Engine Mount Good?

    Pulled the hatch off and sucked about 1 gallon of water out from inside. If water gets in, how is it supposed to drain? Anyone know the screw size/length that holds the hatch on? Somehow lost one and now the boat is at the yard for a new engine so can't run out to check. Also not sure what a...

    Mounting Batteries in Bow

    Since I'm getting a new heavier motor I decided now is the time to move the batteries and see how she rides. Worst case it will be easy to move them back. Moved the battery switch into the botton left of the cabin and added a new 40A fuse for the aux 12V power. Ignore the mess of wiring that...

    New motor Arriving: Is my Engine Mount Good?

    I wont be able to get to my boat until this weekend and it's going to the shop Monday. Is there a Part number for that 0-ring so I can just buy one to replace it when I open the inspection cover? I called Grady White but they didn't have the original or know what to suggest.

    New motor Arriving: Is my Engine Mount Good?

    Thanks, I haven't checked into the inspection cap but I will next weekend (my boat is 2 hours from me). I wanted to open it but was expecting after I removed the screws that it would be glued on with silicone or some type of marine sealant. There are two bolts from the engine mount that I assume...

    New motor Arriving: Is my Engine Mount Good?

    Took my 2006 mercuary optimax engine off my 1994 Grady White seafarer 228G this weekend and the paint on the motor mount looks delaminated. I'm bringing my boat to the dealer to have a new engine installed in a week. What can I do to confirm that my engine mount is not rotted and if it is, what...

    Best way to Remove Reserve Oil Tank?

    Looks like it but even with the covers off it won't come out. Shame because I'd clean it up and resell it online but I think if I pump all the oil out I might be able to only cut the handle off and be able to get it out but should know after this weekend :) Will post results!

    Mounting Batteries in Bow

    Considering moving my batteries to the bow of my 1994 seafarer 228G since I'm repowering with a Yamaha F250XSB motor which is a bit heavier at 610lbs compared to my previous Mercuary optimax 200xl at 517lbs. I weight tested it by adding sand bags to my engine and it's definitely sitting lower...
