    FM Antenna help

    The fm antenna on my Seafarer is located in the cabin screwed lengthwise over the rod holders. I have not been pleased with the reception and looking for advise. My last boat had an 8 foot antenna mounted on the side of the center console and the local stations came in great up to 30 miles out...

    Older Seafarer and Offshore fuel fill hose replacement guide

    For anyone that needs to replace the fuel fill hoses on these models here is a quick rundown. On the Seafarer I expected alot worse than what I got. Contrary to what I have heard these hoses are not all that hard to replace if you read these notes. First thing I noticed is that the hose to the...

    Fuel fill and vent hose lengths

    Our 1989 228 Seafarer needs new hoses for the fuel tank. Hate to guestimate the lengths and be wrong. I called GW just now and they do not have those measurements in the computer so that did not help. Would anybody happen to know the lengths of these two hoses? There are also several different...

    228 Seafarer/livewell drain broke off

    I was replacing my scupper hoses and the hose from the livewell lays on top of it. I removed the hose from the thru hull fitting to move it out of the way. When I went to push the hose out of the way it came loose from the bottom of the livewell. I finished the scupper hoses and when I got to...

    Heading South for 10 day fishing/hunting trip!

    Hey a couple of buddys and myself have 4 gator tags to fill down at lake Okeechobee. We are dragging along my boat to do some offshore fishing for at least half the trip. Leaving out Friday night and the plan was to go to the east coast and hit the gulfstream for dolphin and other pelagics. Well...

    Can someone tell me?

    Is a Vista top for a 2001 seafarer the same as a for a 1989? If not what would have to be done to modify it? Or about what would it cost for new canvas for my 89? Looked around the web and cannot find the answer. Thanks in advance!

    What to do what to do?

    Well I am sure glad I spent the money to buy a GW this year. Now what do I do with it when the oil comes and the fishing goes to crap for the next 20 years. There sure wont be any chance of selling it here and the market will be flooded with boats coming from the gulf states. Im so sick right...

    It is killing me!

    I have owned a Grady White 228 for almost 3 weeks now and have only seen her twice since. Talk about torture, I can hardly stand it. She sits in the marina 10 miles away waiting for me to bring her home. I have spent all my spare time working on a 23 foot proline that I bought as a fixer upper...

    Bilge pumps in a Grady!

    Ok so neither one of my automatic bilge pump switchs are working forward or aft. They both work when I switch them to manual. I figured at least one would work. Is the forward bilge sealed off from the rest of the boat? It is very shallow but does have water in it. I did notice a hose that runs...

    May need a fuel tank!

    Well I went to the marina today to mess with the boat. I wanted to make sure the bilge pumps were working properly. When I got in there I could smell gas so I cut the panels out and sure enough gas in the bulkhead. Cant tell yet but probably going to need a 93 gallon fuel tank. There is no tank...

    Another new to me Grady owner!

    Just got home from a long cold boat ride in my new GW 228g. The boat had been dry stored at the same marina where it was purchased new. The ride home was a couple hours but first we took it out in the gulf and put some fish in her. Only delay was a stop by the FWC to check equipment...
