Problem solved!

After sitting for 2 years due to a medical problem ,I m putting my boat back on the water.. I bought 2 new batteries and install them. Number 1 is working but #2 isn`t. The reason for this is the ground. Can someone tell me Where these main grounds cables connect. I jumped from #1 and 2 ground...

I hate mine so much I kept it for 11 years. :mrgreen:

I have a 1998 ,228.A few years ago I had a problem with the extention rods which connent to the seacock tru-hulls.The ball joint on the tru-hull side was made of mild steel and failed when I attempted to operate the valve,leaving me with the rod in my hand in a half open position.I was lucky...

My 228 sets on a 7#K Loadmaster.

Get yourself an anchor ball and learn how to use it.

When I bought my boat I had a Chevy 1500 4X4 with a 305ci engine 373 rear and tow pk.It pulled it ok except for merging onto interstates and pulling steep hills.I install a pair of airbags on the rear which was a big help in leveling and stability.When I retired I treated myself to a new truck...

When I bought my trailer it was only around $100 to increase from a 6K to a 7K so that is what I did.My trailer is a Loadmaster.

I don`t think there would be a big difference in the performance between the two if powered with the same engine.The one thing I have found with my 228 is that it a bit squirly backing up,but if you trim the engine up a bit it not as bad.The reason I got the 228 was I liked the closed transom.

I added 4 Taco clamp on`s to my boat,they really look good compared to others.The main reason for the install was because I`m kinda short and those roof tops are a PITA for me.

I used to tow my boat,228 H/T 225 OX66,with chevy 1500 4X4,305ci engine 373 rear limited slip.The trailer is a loadmaster 7K tandum.The truck pulled it ok,but on steep hills she would squalk a bit. I added a set of air bags to the rear which made a big difference on the handling and tracking of...

I was talking to two guys the other day.They went out on a off shore wreck trip and caught a few of the biggest flounder they have ever seen.I know it had to be hard to though em back [out of season].They did get some real nice seabass and that was what they were fishin for.

I have a Loadmaster aluminiun I beam bunk trailer for my boat. It is rated for 7000#`s,so as mentioned above you will need a trailer rated for more weight.I have had both types of trailers bunk/rollers and perfer the bunks.There is a guy who owns East Coast Trailers his name is Steve,that I have...

Well in the summer I keep it rolled up.Now in the winter thats a different story.We do a lot of fishing in the winter down at the CBBTwhich is a 500 mile round trip.It would almost be imposible to attach those canvas snaps at 5AM on a cold January morning.Having said that the canvas on my boat...

I got nothing ,but then again I didn`t talk to Jeff and my boat was 6 years old but had less than 400 hours on it.Grady White was certainly aware of the problem.

I don`t think the link above is the one I used but I`m saving it.Also when I ordered my part I also ordered a new SS lid lift for the live well,because the OEM one was rusted and just about shot.

I went through the same thing last year with my boat.What you will have to do is remove the lid from your livewelland all the screws to the livewell tub.then disconect the overflow and fill hoses[starboard side]then lift the tub to a point to where you can disconnect the drain hose on the...

I think the local GW club is doing such an event at a Boaters World,in fact Boaters World is giving a 20% discount that night on anything over $70. and 10% on anthing up to $70. to attendees.

I used to use a big tarp along with a frame made out of 2" PVC and it did the job.The year before last I went to a winter fishing flea market and found a custom made cover that was made for a 25` Grady CC.The cover appeared to be new and the price was right so I bought it.Last winter I used it...

All I can say is vote em out, other wise we the"silent majorty"will be paying through the nose.Just look at the Christmas list that has been added to this bailout. :x
