I'm still learning my 05 228 so I totally agree with what you're doing, need to understand your boat but you might be over thinking things. If you somehow got hundreds of gallons on deck 99% would drain out your scupper before entering the bilge and unless you had a major issue your bilge...

Can someone post a pic of a foot switch? Just bought a 228, it's my first boat with a windlass but so far not a fan. Thinking about installing some sort of slave switch inside the locker to minimize trips back and forth from the helm when I'm solo. Trying to minimize deck clutter and surface...

All these plus several others including the front anchor locker. Bone dry bilge is not possible but worth looking into if you're getting a lot of water on a calm day and you're not doing a lot of washing.

I'm planning to do this and done some research but open to feedback if anyone disagrees. I'm told anything more than 10 watts you'll want a charge controller so you don't over charge and damage your battery. You could probably connect the charge controller to the common posts inside the...

It's custom fabricated for a Grady dealer in Seattle called Jacobsen Marine. $600 plus shipping but it's a work of art and solid as a rock. I dare say I could probably tie a line to it and lift the entire boat with it.

Just found this thread and enjoyed reading the reports. I keep my boat in either OC MD or VA Beach but run out of the NJ Highlands on my brothers Regulator so I'm very familiar with this area and one day I may be able to add a report. Shrewsbury Rocks is about as far south as we'll go and...

Sorry to state the obvious but have you turned the wheel all the way one way or another? My solution is a 9.9 kicker with a tiller so I have ultimate drift control and also do a lot of slow trolling if the wind and tide really dies.

Thanks, I'll probably plug the line at the faucet but I still need to find the bigger leak in the system. I'd like to use the gunnell mounted FW sprayer. I checked the online user's manual and it looks like that's where the pump is. I pulled that round hatch but it's too tight to see much...

The sink faucet on my new to me 228 also keeps leaking on the cabin cushions... When I first turned it on it spit some red antifreeze so seems the previous owner attempted to winterize it but it never builds pressure so I must have a leak somewhere. I didn't see any pumps or access through...

BTT as I'm preparing to replace the scupper hoses on my 2005 Seafarer 228 so looking for advice from someone who's tackled the job. 1) Parts - It looks like I'll need 1.5' of 1.5" reinforced hose for each scupper, is this something I can buy at west Maine by the foot or should I buy the part...

Upper and lower bolts

I purchased one used from another member (good meeting you Doug) but finally found the source. Jacobsen Marine in Seattle gets them custom fabricated and has them in stock for $600 new. The transom configuration and internal access on Grady's makes installation (and removal) VERY challenging...

PNW, I may need to go that route but I had one of those Garlic type brackets on my last boat and almost lost the engine when it broke... What are the problems installing it to Starboard? I like it on the starboard side so I can see it better while docking, balances the batteries which are...

Thanks Dennis, It's the one HMB Jack posted but here's the pic. I tried to contact there vendor he referenced but they didn't answer. I assumed they were closed due to COVID but I'll try again tomorrow.
