I swapped my fuel fill hose a couple years ago. It was deteriorating badly with holes near the fitting at the gunwale . It leaked every time I went to fill it up. While I was at it I changed the vent hose too. I had it done in an afternoon or so. I removed the tank lid to do it so I could...

I would add caution to the Rain X application. the hydrophobic nature of it causes water to bead a lot as you know. Navigating at night with the windshield beaded up especially in harbors and at low speeds and such refracts the light and makes night vision difficult especially if you don't...

Argo is the CIA mission to get Americans out of Iran where Ben Affleck goes over and pretends he is a Canadian and wants to do a Hollywood sci Fi film called Argo and it was to be filmed on location in Iran. Turns out the idea worked and American embassy workers were brought home...thanks to...

Hey Y'all, I have not posted in a while . It's been busy in my life but I wanted to share a story and it's somewhat embarrassing. This fall I was taking my boat out of Fontana for the winter. Halfway back to the ramp the boat just died. Now those unfamiliar with Fontana Lake in the NC Smoky...

Well except for one thing. The bolts holding the bracket are internal to the bracket and as long as the bracket remains water tight there is no wet transom issue . The bracket Grady's don't really suffer the Grady wet fate. The other thing is when Grady switched to Greenwood XL material with...

It happens when it's cool to cold outside on my motor. It's a combination of moisture in the exhaust hitting cool or cold air and forming a condensate or cloud. As the motor heats up the moisture in the system gets "cooked" off quickly and it goes away. Blue smoke is oil, black is too much...

So my boat was built in 08 and went into service new with me in 09 and around 2018 I had to replace both the fill and vent hose due to significant cracking and literally a few holes in the hose. I would replace your fuel hoses at a minimum.

While I agree with you on this 100% , I think some marketing nerd at Grady says the Eurotrashom sells better to moms and families than fishing oriented design which you and I appreciate. Grady is in the business of staying in business and their bent towards families and sandbars means you get a...

Yah, they did a decent job..I wish they would have just kept the 228 and made her 6 inches wider . It's laid out so well . I do like the innovation of the aft seats and how they swing. My 192 had something similar in that the back rest swung . Given they got rid of essentially 3 models...

I am here through Thursday. I have been house sitting for some friends. Weather has been good but the winds have picked up. I came down with a sinus thing the day I got here back on the 7th.it impacted my ability to snorkel and stuff. I have only fished offshore 3 times in the last 3 weeks...

They did something here I always thought would benefit the 228 and that is give it a 8.5 foot beam midships . It's a sweet looking boat at a foot shorter than 228. I hope it sells well .

I have the same set up as KY. I think you would be fine as our set up or top hole on the bracket and 2nd hole on the motor .

I am going to Keys next week for the rest of July. I probably won't change my boating . What will happen is I won't eat out as much and stuff like that . Fuel costs are an issue . 125 gallons at $3 is one thing . 125 gallons at $7 is something very different. Over 2 weeks there I burn around...

You mention 4 of the 6 show spark. What's going on with the other two?

Well you already did the project. Sounds great . When my dome light failed I upgraded to Grady factory LED touch fixture with both cockpit and spreader switch built into the fixture. The cockpit side I can choose red or white LED illumination from a soft glow to bright and I control the spreader...

Great job. It's hard to keep up with the KYs. Looks great .

I feel your pain. Been there plenty of times . I have to find a weedless trolling rig that works. I just run and deal with the weeds.

Well, I should trust Goodyear ,but here is the thing. I often travel and tow close to 1,000 miles one way on the interstate. Under inflating can lead to more heat and friction and heat and friction can lead to premature tire failure. Over the years the China bomb tires put on most trailers...

However, When the trailer breaks along I-95 in Georgia and your family is stranded like the Griswold s, you have done choices. You can call a tow truck and wait on that stuff or you can but up and fix it yourself. My boat trailer calamities have increased my working knowledge of trailer repair...
