Happy New Year folks! I have a 2005 226 and I need to replace my Anchor light. While I'm at it, I think I ought to also replace my cockpit lights, spreader lights and port/starboard nav lights. Thinking of LED all around. Just wondering if anyone's done this? I'm very interested in the...

Hi Folks, Need some advice... I have a '05 226 and just noticed last weekend the bottom outside bracket has come loose from the transom. I'm having the boat pulled today to inspect and try to figure out how to repair. A few questions... does anyone know if this is through bolted or lag...

hey folks, I think I've seen this out here in the past, but can't find. Does anyone know where to buy replacement hinges for Grady electronics boxes?? I have a 2005 226 (hard top) and would like to replace the hinges in front of the helm (not the top box, but just in front of the wheel). Any...

Hi folks, Was wondering if any of you folks have a sort of Ditch Bag for your smaller Grady? I have a 226 and might start thinking of venturing 25-30 miles on a a good day, but wanted some advice on a) whether or not fellow Grady owner's of a comparable size have ditch bags, and if so b)...

Hey guys (and those boating ladies) I have a problem with my raw water washdown... Yesterday it worked in the morning, but it quit on me. I've diconnected the power right next to the pump and tested 12vlts right at the connector so I don't think there's a fuse issue unless the pump itself...

Splashed the boat yesterday (FINALLY!!!) She's tuned up, waxed up, looking good and ready to go!! I'd like to ask other Seafarer owners about general performance they get. I have a Yam F225 that spins a saltwater series II prop (15.5 X 17). I can get the motor up to 5700 RPM, but only...

I'm looking to plan a short cruise down the ICW from Brick NJ to somewhere in the DC area (along the VA coast, maybe close to Mason Neck State Park). This is my 1st venture and am looking for any/All advice. Thought is to keep it to 100-125 miles per day or so. One stop Cape May, the other...

Hi Folks, was wondering if anyone had some ideas for outriggers for a 226? I'd rather not go to the extent of mounting in my hard top, and was hoping there may be some solutions that can use existing gunwale rod holders. Considering rod riggers, but am thinking I'd rather look into proper...

Howdy folks, I'm totally digging my 2005 226, but I do have one serious problem...NO TUNES!!! I've seen some posts here, so I have a sense on where to mount speakers....likely hang them from the hard top next to the spreader lights. Now, I'm certainly no audiophile, but I do want...

Hi Folks, I thought i'd ask for some opinions... My cockpit shower (2005 226) works just fine except the hose is black and stiff. This makes it difficult to pull out gunwale to use and has even caused the handle/nozzle to pull from the hose. The other week, I was rafted with a 33...

Hi folks, Quick question. I have a '05 226 and when reading the manual it says to rinse the fuel tank storage area periodocially. Can you do this through the access plates?? I'm hoping you don't actually have to remove the panels that cover the tank.... Can you just open the acces plates and...
