    Replacing PVC Rodholders on Livewell ?

    Couple of questions for anyone who has done it. Seems that you can pull each one out independently; if so, what type of tool did you use on the bottom screw. If not, I imagine you would have to pull the whole unit off which looks like you would have to remove the live well to access it. Can you...

    Access To Fixture Mounted Under Electronics Box?

    I have a 228 Seafarer but assume the setup is the same on other models with hardtops. Mounted under my electronics box is a fixture that's marked Courtesy Light/ Spreader Lights and has a bulb inside that I need to change. I cant figure out how to get in there. Appears there is no access from...

    Question for Seafarer owners with windlass

    I bought my 2010 slightly used. It came mounted with a Windline URM-2 bow roller and a Delta type anchor. The URM -2 is for Danforth type anchors but apparently had been modified to fit the delta by cutting a 11/8 inch opening in the bail to allow the delta to pass thru it. It worked "ok" but I...

    Non Skid on Gunnels

    What is the consensus on treating the sand -like non skid sections on the gunnels? Do you wax/ polish it, or just clean it and put some Woody Wax on it.

    228 Seafarer question

    Does anyone perform any annual maintenance on the seacocks located under the livewell? I could probably grease the ball from under the boat but would like to spray the exterior, handles etc with some 656 as well. Anybody have any tips that dont include pulling the livewell itself? It seems the...

    228 steering wheel issue

    I am just an average size guy but I find it extremely cramped behind the wheel when standing. I have tilt steering and no matter how I adjust it I'm still cramped. I have a power knob but dont have it mounted because I cant make a full revolution without maiming myself. Only options I can...

    Draining the Drive bracket

    Had the boat pulled and I'm going down to check it out. I had read some things about checking the bracket for water intrusion and just wanted some input as its all new to me. I assume there is some plug on the bottom that is evident. Any gasket on it or should any type of sealant be applied when...

    winterizing livewell/ salt water washdown

    On my last boat I used to run nontoxic antifreeze into the pumps for salt water washdown and the livewell and close the seacocks when I stored the boat for the winter. In the Grady manual it says to close the seacocks and run the pumps to get all the water out...nothing about antifreeze. The...

    228 access to rigging tubes

    Im running a spare 'in hull transducer' to the helm. Im all set from the helm to the rear of the rigging tube on the starboard side. My only question is how to get the wire from the transducer itself ( its just aft of the fresh water tank) to the rear of the access tube. Only way I see is to...
