    Wheel is Seized

    I had this happen on one of my boats years ago but I didn't have autopilot. I assume you have hydraulic steering; could there be something wrong there so your wheel won't turn but your auto will?

    fisherman 180 T top

    C&C marine Towers in Cape May Court House (www.ccmarinetowers.com) has a gallery tab; about four rows down is a photo of a late model GW 18 with a T top they made if anyone's interested. As for me, I'm heading there Monday.

    Grady Center Console to Walkaround?

    I have had , in this order, a Grady 205 overnighter, a Grady 226 Seafarer, and now a Fisherman 180. My 180 was purchased new last year and I traded my 226 in on it. The previous comments I agree with, but here are a few more that might help you: the 20 footer was a great boat but the cockpit...

    GW 180 Sportsman/Fisherman Prop

    I have a 2016 180 that I bought new last August and now have 65 hours on it. I have not run WOT but have been up to 3800 rpms and hit 28 knots with the top down. With top up same rpms give me 24-25. I looked in my Yamaha info but don't see the prop called out. It is what came with the boat so...

    Best way to clean vinyl?

    DON'T use bleach, diluted or not. If you get any on your threads it will disintegrate them in short order. That's not theory, that's experience talking.

    226 new upholstery

    Oh yeah they would. I have the deluxe helm seats and you would need to be VERY thin to squeeze between them, especially if the boat is rockin' in seas. I removed the inboard armrests on both seats and now they are fine.

    208 owners - do you use Sea Sucker Mounts?

    FYI SeaSucker will definitely not stick to Starboard. Learned it the hard way, then confirmed with Sea Sucker at the next boat show. I like the product but think they should mention this to any prospective buyer.

    Spiders: How do you control them?

    If they are in an enclosed area buy a large dog flea collar and put it there. They will be gone.

    steering knob

    I can't speak to the 300 but I have an Edson knob on my Seafarer and wouldn't want to operate in close quarters without it. An invaluable aid to docking.

    228 seafarer questions

    I have a 226 with a 225 ob and it is perfectly adequate for both functions. If your boat has a hardtop you will be just a bit slower out of the hole and at WOT than one without but not enough to materially affect you. I added a HT to mine. It's the perfect size for the family, just big enough...
