I went out yesterday and changed my HDS 10 with my HDS 7 to determine if the problem was with the unit. I had the same problem with the HDS 7. I checked my sonar settings and found I was running shallow auto. I changed to general use and haven't had the problem so far. I changed back to the 10...

Thanks for the input. I believe the 1000 and 700 are the same size and only $80.00 more for the 1000. The rode may be the deciding factor. 5/16 v 1/4 chain and 9/16 v 1/2 line. I will be buying all new any suggestions on brand or type. Did you mount directly to the hatch?

I need a windlass for a 228 and was considering the Lewmar Pro fish 1000. Any input pro or con would be appreciated.

Sounds like it couldn't have been done any better. Please post some pics. From an interested owner of a 96 228.

If you want the passenger seat to turn 180 you can take the jump seat backrest off or move it down. My wife and I are both small and it is very tight. Being able to turn the seats 180 makes the wait for Mr SB a little more bearable in a 228. It made as much difference in appearance as comfort.

Ditto get it surveyed. I made the mistake of not getting it surveyed and have paid the price since. Including 11K in motor work. the valves were noisy and the mechanic at a Yamaha shop in Ontario said they need adjusting. I think they were in cahoots with the seller. Oh well lesson learned never...

I got the 2005 premier in Grady Beige directly from Pompanette. I also used the existing base and it fit fine. The seats also turn 180 so you can use them to just sit and relax although they don't recline

Re: HDS Sonar Issue I too am having the same problem. I have a 228 with Structure Scan and HDS 10 ducers on the transom. The depth changes and i haven't figured out what makes it change. I haven't found reverse to be an issue. Eventually it goes back to reading normally even if I don't reboot it.

I just bought new seats for my 96 228. I bought them from Pompanette the OEM for Grady White. They were offered as an option in about 2005. Look on their website. They were originally 1200.00 each but I got them for 832.00 each. I guess the times call for better pricing.

Ron I launch from monterey and have been out twice from 10-4 and it was rough. We did catch fish then went in. The swells were curling from the wind. I bought the gimble mounts so I can decide where to mount them. So far it seams just behind the forward rod holder. I may end up with two more on...

Has anyone installed structure scan on a GW on the grady drive. I have in on my Bass boat mounted to the pad, Seems to be the same location as under the grady drive jackplate.

Thanks for the great advise and links. My wife and I are complete beginners at fishing the Pacific. We do fish for Largemouth and Stripers in The Delta. I ended up with gimble mounts and ran the downriggers in the second rod holders closest the wheel. We fished for the first time on Sun out of...

Just got a 96 228g for salmon and sea bass fishing in monterey ca. Thought it was a good deal at 18,500 but turns out the motor needs new heads to the tune of 10k I hope to have a long lasting seaworthy boat for awhile. Now for the fun part setting it up for Salmon fishing sometimes to 300ft...
