My Seafarer has 2 fuel tanks, I’m getting ready to replace both fuel fill hoses. For anyone who has done this how many feet of hose do I need for the job?

It’s a good idea to to rinse the tank and check those deck plate o rings for leaks. https://www.gradywhite.com/explore/grady-owners/customer-tips/rinse-the-outside-of-your-grady-whites-gas-tank-s-with-fresh-water-at-least-twice-a-year/

There is one here for sale that might work for your boat. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/228-hardtop-and-aluminum-frame-for-sale.31798/

User JJmag has one on his boat I can’t remember the brand send him a PM. I know when I was on his boat I saw the seat in action and I think it’s worth it.

Thank you for tips I appreciate that.

5-Salt very clean install. How difficult was it to replace the fill hose on the auxiliary tank. How did you run the new hoses?

I almost converted that to a storage on my 228 but at the end decided to keep the fresh water because I do use it when fishing. I was going to convert it into to 2 tackle tray holders. I ended up doing this for storage. I have had it for few months now and I’m so glad I did it.

My aux tank was replaced by the previous owner. When I purchased the boat in 2020 I pulled the main hatch out and inspected the original main tank at the time the tank looked pretty good. This winter I’m pulling the main tank out for inspection and to re-epoxy, I will be also replacing gas fill...

I like 2 units as stated above one as a chart plotter and the other one as a sounder. It’s also nice to have everthing in one area it just simplifies things.

Both of you thanks for the tip, how did you reattached the crossmember?

This winter I’m thinking of inspecting my fuel tanks. The auxiliary tank is 5 years old replaced by the previous owner( fill hose is original). The main tank is original so I want to take it out and inspect it. I also want to change the fill hoses and fuel lines to the engine. I think I have to...

That’s great feel free to send me a Pm we can talk on how to fish for them. It’s always good to build a network when the fish are up here you can jump on my boat and we can go out. By the way yes my bracket is higher I think like 9 or 10 inches.

DSS welding in Canada. I sent him pictures/measurements of what I wanted and he custom made it. I troll for Salmon and Bluefin( when’s they are here) in the SF Bay area and it’s perfect.

Great install I did a similar one 2 years ago and I’m super happy with it. Your steering and throttle are an upgrade from what I did you are going to be happy with it good choice.

Here is the electronic box I designed I wanted everything at eye level 2 Simrad 9 inch Evo 3, vhf, music radio, and kicker control.

1999 seafarer 228

I like it overall the only thing I can’t tell is it a 2 piece or 3 piece construction? I hope they kept it 3 piece.

Thanks buddy… that would give me enough time to test it out and tell you what I would do differently.

I decided to build a tackle station on my 228. I purchased a sheet(4x8) expanded pvc and went to work. I wanted to keep my cost and weight down. The last trays on the floor are removable so you can still access the inspection hatch. The tackle stations are held in place by Velcro attach to the...

Thanks for the suggestion I might try it when our season is over. I boat in Northern California so our seas are not the calmest.
