We will see you at the Island. Grant out of Alamitos Bay.

Great timing on this thread. Went out yesterday, and kill a scoop of sardines, when I bumped the live well switch….ahhh…. I have the original switches with a very narrow dim red light, what are the new switches are people upgrading to? Are the circuit breakers also being swapped out? What is...

I have what was installed by GW, ( 12 x 9) , it’s good to know they undersized by Bennett’s guidelines. I did install the electronic indicator control, https://bennetttrimtabs.com/product/electronic-indicator-control-kit/. It helps to dial in the positions of the tab, then you can repeat the...

This is great timing as I been tweaking my 12 x 9 tabs. I never check the tab size to the Bennett guide. To monitor the trim of the tabs, while underway, I did install the Bennet Trim tab indicator controllers. https://bennetttrimtabs.com/product/electronic-indicator-control-kit/ It uses the...

Go behind the USB plug, and check if the wires are hot with a 12v test light. They might just be switched, + on the neg. It will keep the USB plug from not working.

I swapped out the fish box inspection port covers with 6.5 speakers. Not a new idea, many others have mentioned it on this thread... I wasn't inclined to cut any new holes if I didn't have to. I had Boatoutfitters cut the surrounds out of starboard. The seafoam color matches very well. You...

The boat is a 99. I recently got my first GW last February, so spent the summer figuring it all out, replacing hoses, rewiring and cruising Catalina and the harbors. Now I'm doing somemore tinkering with it during the offseason.. My original intention for the holders would be for trolling...

I'm thinking about adding two straight rod holders in the transom cap on my 99 Seafarer 228, for a total of six holders. They are pretty short, so I can remove the bottom rivet to allow the rod handle to sit lower. Any concerns about the location, loss of strength or stiffness across the...

I use this on my Grady With hardtop and pulpit. Not a high end canvas/sunbrella but should last for 4-5 years. Made from the 600 denier, has some thoughtful tied down points, plenty of straps and fits pretty well. Velcro opening for rod holders on the hardtop...

What other color did you use. I have 99 228, and want to redo the side bolsters.

I was considering two different GW 228's to buy, with similiar prices and features, but one did not have the bow pulpit. I called the local GW dealer on getting an OEM pulpit, when I got their quote (ouch!!), bought the boat with the pulpit...

With no engine maintenance records, the sales guy will not have any idea what the motor is like. That vintage Yamaha F series four-strokes have a history of exhaust corrosion. Hmmm....why is the owner selling...

I recently found and purchased a 99 228 Seafarer, found it in Alameda. I was looking at all the east coast boats, and the GW's do have a higher cost premium than similar boats, and quality boats on the West Coast have a premium on top of that. But I'm the kick the tires kind of guy, and doing...

Nice set up. So the amp is powering the Polk 6.5 and the Skar speaker, what size amp? I like the speaker boxes the Polks are in, where did you find those?
