Totally agree on replaceing the hoses. I have always replaced mine regularly. Last year when I replaced my deck drains to stainless with black ball to stop backup is the last time I replaced drain hoses.

I needed a new set.

I agree they are redundant because I do have the ball that floats up. The scuppers were never a 100% water tight seal and they always impeded drainage from the deck much more so than the current deck drain with floating ball. So far. so good.

Every year I replace the 3 black rubber scuppers on the back of my 228, One is for the bait-well and the other 2 are the port and starboard deck drains. This year the boatyard launched my boat before I had a chance to install them so there are no scuppers installed at all. My port and starboard...

I know the windshield snaps can be moved along the rail but I was concerned about the snaps toward the back which are drilled in the fiberglass. I would want to attach the mating snap o the boat.

Is it best to have A&J them ship them back with the snaps ON or OFF. Seems my canvas is always very tight early in the season..

I had eisenglass on my last 2 sets but I find that it stains/fogs over time and I am not sure of the cause. Is strata-glass any different?

And just to be clear. I am not referring to a winter cover. I am looking for the 7-8 pieces that enclose the cockpit on a 228 with hardtop. I would think the best way to do this is to have it send without snaps and attach the snaps on the boat. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

any idea where to get a new set? I can put the snaps on....

I have agreed value which this year they lowered by 20% and raised the rate as well....

Other than GEICO (and I am not a fan) can anyone suggest good insurance for a 23 foot Grady used summer months in CT?

As a winter project I am reconditioning my swim platform on my 2003 228. when I took it off the calk between the platform and the top of the motor bracket revealed areas of bare metal. Aluminum I believe. I'm looking for recommendations to paint (beige I believe) the motor bracket. Any suggestions?

I have 200 feet of 8-plait in there. It's tight sometimes if I use the majority of it and when it is retrieved the rope will pile on itself and might need a nudge to push overt the pile. Go with the 200....

Good info. Will do... Although I believe 10 amp is the smallest breaker and would never be oversized with any existing wiring....

Actually the rubber caps only detach from the back part of the panel. I did take off the panel and it was a 10 amp. I did not want to rely on the manual because the breaker may have been changed so this was the best way to go... Thanks all..

I already know the Rule 2000 bilge pump is rated at 8.4 amps and is matched to a 15 amp fuse (which comes in line). My question is what is the amp rating of this push-button breaker already installed on my panel?

Can anyone tell me the amp rating on the push button breaker on the top of the bilge switches??

Is there a bang plate on a 228?

OK. So I did take the frame apart on the Starboard side and withdrew the corroded, black aluminum hindge. Sanded down all the corrosion to shiny metal and used a Rustoleum metal spray with a built in primer. Reassembled it today.About 6-7 philips head screws and put together very slowly and...
