Hi Ky - I too recently installed a Lewmar 700 Pro Fish on my 1991 Seafarer with pulpit, but my danforth anchor does not selfdeploy. What weight and model number is your Mantus anchor?

What material is the metal plate made from? Would you happen to have the dimensions of the plate?

In my case, the scuppers were raised about 2" inches more above the previous water line. You can actually see this in the below attached photo [zoom in for a closer look] and we did not change the bottom paint line location. My mechanic informed me that the 30" extra wide Armstrong engine...

In July 2021 we finally completed the repowering of our 1991 228G Seafarer [original 1991 Yamaha 200 HP TXRP] with a new 2020 Yamaha F250 XB. At the same time, we installed a new Armstrong engine bracket [took 6 months to fabricate], new controls, new Sea Star hydraulic steering cylinder and...

What brand / model# of anchor did you switch to? What are the advantages of this type compared to the danforth you had initially purchased?

Blown our power head on the original 1991 two stroke Yamaha 200 TXRP in November 2020 and we repowered our 1991 Grady White Seafarer 228G in July 2021 with a 2020 Yamaha four stroke F250 XB along with a new Armstrong Gil Bracket. Ordered outboard bracket from Armstrong in the beginning of...

What did you replace the original dome light fixture with? Please provide make, model # and place of purchase. My courtesy light has not worked in years, but my spreader lights work great.

1. In July 2021 we repowered our 1991 Seafarer with a 2020 Yamaha F250 XB and new Armstrong Gil Bracket [see photos] - love the quietness, odorless, increase in power and fuel efficiency 2. Upgraded stereo system by installing a pre-amp and installing 2 additional gunwale speakers - love the...

I recently purchased and personally installed the following on my 1991 Grady White Seafarer 228G: 1. one pair of POLY-PLANAR MA800 (W) COMPACT BOX SPEAKERS [100 WATTS] under the rear gunnels [$107.56 ON AMAZON] 2. Kenwood KAC-M1814 4-Channel Compact Bridgeable Marine/Motorsports 400W Max Power...

I am the one who posted the information about Phil from Allow Metal Works earlier this year in another forum post. George just cut and pasted my post into your forum. With a little help from my 10-year old son, I removed the old original tank myself and installed the new one by myself. If you...

I would choose #3 for the following reasons: (1) Yamaha is the first choice of outboards for most Grady owners, their reputation and performance are priceless and they have a great customer service hotline too; (2) The 1989 boat's gas tank is probably on it's last leg (my 1991 Seafarer's tank...

In my case, the floor panel is screwed into the floor and Silicone is filled in around the perimiter. After removing all of the screws, take a utility knife and slice down deep through the Silicone around the perimiter. Then take a flat screw driver and gently pry open the floor cover. Before...

While replacing my 1991 93-gallon gas tank this year, I used a great product to clean out the gas tank compartments and bilge areas - Greased Lightning Orange Blast Super Strength Degreaser. Purchased this great product (32 oz spray bottle) at an automotive supply store (Auto Barn) for just...

I have a 1991 228G with a 1991 Yamaha 200 HP and use it in the same way you describe. We find the 200 HP more than sufficient for tubing, wake boarding and especially waterskiing. Our hard top is great and we highly recommend one. Top speed is around 36 MPH at 5300 RPM with a full tank of gas...

In March I replaced the main 19-year old 93-gallon fuel tank on my 1991 Seafarer 228G with a little help from my 9 year old son. We hired Phil from Alloy Metal Works in Farmingdale, NY 631-694-8163 to fabricate a replacement tank for about $750. After siphoning out most of the gas, I removed...

Just noticed that the front railings on the bow pulpit of my 1991 Seafarer 228G started to move a little when I stand on the pulpit. We sometimes use the pulpit to get on and off our boat when we pull into a marina, as the engine bracket causes the aft to be far away from the dock to disembark...

Seafarer 228G We are a family of four with children (9 and 12 years old) and were in your same situation two years ago. We liked at the 208 Adventurer, but ended up purchasing a 1991 Seafarer 228G (closed transom with OB on bracket; hardtop, 1991 200 Yamaha, bow pulpit, without trailer)...
