Hi What is the transom angle on 228 2004 (Not deadrise angle).. i am installing 1kw Airmar T185M.. I need to compensate for transom angle using Shims.. Do you use shims? How many? Can you track bottom at speed? Any real life experience in installing these huge transducer is appreciated...

Zipper on the bimini-top worn out. The Canvas enclosure has been kept at home all the time so it's in perfect condition. Need to change the Zipper on the bimini but there are many sizes and shapes. Any help with selecting the right size and length for Grady 228 - 2004

Nice

can you fit 12 inches inside the electronic box and still be able to see the full screen? I think Grady needs to redesign the electronic box on smaller models to accommodate new bigger electronics that are available nowadays. At the time they designed these boxes, 9 inches would be a massive...

Keeping electronics safe is my main concern .... i plan to have custom made Stainless steel electronics box cover ... not that funny plastic original one ... also will secure the box from inside ... Boat is berthed in a marina 70 miles away and sometimes it takes me a month to get a free slot...

Looks great ... thank you... Are you happy with two 7inches .... I originally planned to have 9 inches new Evo3S but found that i can get two 7s evo3 with the same money... Another option, As i just focus on fishing in 100 to 300 feet ... what do you think of one 7 evo3 plus Simrad S2009...

Can you Accommodate two Simrad Nss7 evo3 (7 inches) INSIDE dash electronics box. Not interested in flush mounted units. Any photo? Boat is 2004 Grady-White 228 ... no hardtop.

Please have a look at the review of Airmar TM165 HW. https://teamcolibri.blogspot.com/2019/08/airmar-tm165hw.html are you able to clearly see the details of the seabed at the specified depth range? the review suggests that a narrow-angle high chirp transducer would give better details. What...

Thank you Luckydude. I think I'll be able to manage using the shared photos. I need to figure out which transom-mounted transducer(S) will be best for me. The new unit will be Simrad NSS9 Evo3s. I do bottom fishing and jigging (slow and fast) in coastal waters at 75 to 300 feet rarely go...

Hi Luckydude ... please send me the detailed pics and the exact location of the transducer.

Thank you SmokyMtnGrady. My Grady is a 2004 model that has the freshwater tank underneath the companion seat. I only have the limited space aft shown in the first post to install the transducer. It's my understanding that using a single frequency transducer would result in a better...

Thanks a lot, luckydude and amamola. Having the exact location would be appreciated. I think I'll go again with the Transom-mounted transducers in the exact location as yours. I plan to have Simrad NSS9 evo3 S (or the older version NSS9 evo3 if I can get a good discount), 3 in 1 active...

Thanks for the photos... both transducers keep track of the bottom or the all in one transducer (lower one) ....

Do you have any photo for your transom-mounted transducer to get an idea about the location? I think the 1.5 kW transducer won't help if there are air bubbles under the surface of the transducer.

I mounted several transom transducers and I always lose track of the bottom at cruising speed (25 miles). If I push the transducer down a little more to be in the water all the times, It either snaps off or changes position. Also, I leave it on the trailer for months and think the in-hull...

Thank you for taking the initiative to help. May I know where did you install the through-hull transducer? any photo? the 1kW transducer is 7 inches wide which is difficult to accommodate in the limited bilge area of the 228

Thank you Pighunter fo your response .... I do not want to drill holes in the boat. I am looking for experience with in-Hull transducers.

Hi all Grady customer service recommends transom-mounted transducers for this model. What is your experience with in-hull transducers such as M135M (1 KW ) or P75M (600 W)? The bilge area in my 2004 228 is small and uneven (photo attached). Where is the best place to mount the in-hull...

Thank you Can I get a photo of the bilge area to see where did you mount it? what is the maximum depth you fish and how the Airmar B75H separate targets at the bottom?

It's time to replace my transom-mounted Raymarine dragonfly system (unit and transducer). That unit served me several years until I broke one of the 10-connector pins.. gone no repair. This unit is good for shallow water but not bottom fishing in moderately deeper water. what is the best...
