We got a big Blue marlin 2 weeks ago. He managed to hit the Grady White on the starboard side and I lost the letter Y. Does anyone know if I can buy just the letter Y?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/303609518365?hash=item46b089991d:g:xj0AAOSwNHZe-lle I wonder if any of you guys use this. Looks like you have to use it in conjunction with normal ear muffs. I use tape on mine but if this works it will be more convenient.

My dome light has failed so I need a replacement . We have a dealer here but they are useless. I contacted Lumitec and they advised that West Marine sell them, if they don't have them they can order from Lumitec . I'm not so sure, if I ordered one from West marine it will be the correct light...

I thought about time I put up another fishing report. This was hooked about 16 kn miles from Sydney heads. About 30 minute fight on 50w Tiagra 50lb line. The fight was shortened because he got tail wrapped on his last jump. Enjoy the video.

Any of you guys have a single Yamaha with Helmaster?

In case you thought Grady's are expensive and getting more and more expensive, have a look at prices down under. I know the price is in AUD but at current exchange rates it works out US$ 184k . She is well fitted out but not even new and you still have to pay for a windlass! I guess that's the...

My water pump was due for service. I got a genuine Yamaha kit rather than just replace the impeller . When I pull it apart the old impeller was a bit damaged but she never overheated . I wouldn't know the pressure as Yamaha don't give you pressure gauge, pretty silly really , Mercury does. In...

Has anybody fitted a gas strut on the cabin hatch on their seafarer? If not any other boat that has a similar hatch. Post a picture and details of what you used please. Thanks in advance

I have several Mercury props that I would like to try on my 4.2 Yamaha. Merc use the flow-torq hub kits on their shafts . I think I can use my Merc props on the Yam but I'm not familiar what Yam use. Would the Merc hub kit fit ? Do I need a different hub kit? I know the that's are the same...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dbkBc-5HnrpR0xaRLn1GwfshHQvO88gu/view?usp=drivesdk It is best to download for better clarity. The boat is 228 G about 40 miles offshore. We tagged 3 on the day this one the biggest about 7' 8" short length and about 220 lb.

What fuel burn do you guys get on a 228 with hard top? Preferably on the open seas but flat water usage will give me an indication as well. List your engine HP, age, prop make and size, load, sea conditions, RPM, speed, etc.. 4 strokes only please. If you could average use for the day, not...

Fishing trip to Rompin last week, we got several sailfish in 3 days fishing.

I'm looking to install a Simrad AP44 auto pilot on my 228 Seafarer . If anyone on the forum has one not necessary Simrad , I would like to know where did you fit the pump and or computer. Any advice on what to look for is welcome.

I found this in my new to me GW 228, does anyone know what it is?

I'm about to install the rocket launcher on my 228. I would like to know what size bolts are used to secure it to the hardtop. Are they 5/16" or 3/8"? I know there are 3 bolts on each tab. Thanks in advance.

As some of you know I bought a new to me 228 G hard top and she doesn't have outriggers . My current bimini top has gunnel mount taco bases with taco telescopic poles, I install them when I bought the boat. What do you guys use , hardtop mounted bases or wishbone. I think I prefer wishbone and...

I just bought a 228 G with factory hardtop and it doesn't have a rocket launcher. Do any of you know who makes the genuine one that GW fit to the Seafarer ? The ones I have seen have 4 rod holders, I would prefer at least 5 . I believe they fix to the hardtop with 3 brackets and e bolts per...

I'm looking at buying a newer 228 Grady, love mine but she is getting on and she doesn't have hardtop. I'm negotiating on a 2013 with 250 4 stroke Yamaha, the boat is located in Saint James City, Florida and I'm in Australia. I want to engage a surveyor to inspect it and give me a report . I was...
