Washdown pump No problem Richie, the more guys that chime in the better, I can't see why the pump was in that location to begin with, on a 228g there is plenty of room. Removing the two hard rubber lines is going to be a blast but I'll manage . I really opened up a can of worms on this...

I gutted out the entire dash and bulkhead to redo the wiring harness, the 2"chase conduit besides carrying the wiring harness also has the TWO 1"washdown lines. The chase is crowded to say the least. I'd like to relocate the washdown pump from the cabin to the stern, I have a 228g so I have...

Bow lifting ring Hey Capt, the threaded rod and bow lifting eye is one piece, the rod is staked on the eye. To remove it remove the two screws in the eye and then loosen the 1" bolt on the inside anchor locker bracket and unscrew the whole assembly. Should take 10 min max. Tony

Hi Joe Welcome Joe, these "old lady" Grady still have alot of life in them, I've got an "89 , love the no frills, just a solid fishing boat. Tony

225 Johnson Like Romex said ,tough motors if kept maintained. The V-6 "Looper" is a perfect motor for a heavy boat like a Grady, lots of torque. I use only OMC oil in the VRO and Seafoam to decarb. If the boat dosen't have one, install a Racor water seperator filter.

I got the same motor, an Evinrude 1990 225hp on a 228g w/hardtop. Make sure it's tuned up and decarb it every 50 or so hours. You won't get the ecomony of DFI but it's bearable if you cruise at 3000+ rpms. If you open her up you'll need a second tank!! I did that one day and you can see the...

Pulpit Thanks for the info, went to the Hartford Ct. boat show , the Grady dealer is trying to get a line on an OEM pulpit & railing kit for me .

Happy Aussie Day to 1st. Field Squad !!! I was TDY(temp duty) with the 1st Field Squad , Nui Dat, great bunch of guys, real professional soldiers. Brings back some memories , some good some bad. If there is any old soldiers out there PM me if you like

Found a boat salvage yard that has a few fiberglas pulpits, all off the boats. I have a 1989 228g, can someone kindly measure a Seafarer OEM pulpit so I can get something close to original size before I make the trip. Thanks Tony

89 Seafarer Hi, I purchased a 1989 228g last year, for a 20yr old boat it was solid as a rock. The surveyor used two moisture meters on the hull and was dry thru-out and told me to not pass on this boat. It was in better condition than most 10yr old boats. This was my sixth boat and first...

Aux Tank I really don't need the range of going offshore since I only fish LI Sound, 90gals is plenty of fuel for my 225 Evinrude. Some of your guys boats have the Aux. tank forward of the main tank. Mine is plumbed with the main tank foward and the aux. towards the stern, there is a little...

Aux tank Thanks for the input guys, it's just an idea I contenplated with the boat sitting in the backyard for the winter. I don't want to screw up the appearance or the value of the boat either. The dual tank has the wider cutout for the fuel fills, if I put the water fill next to it I think...

Hi guys, I've got a 1989 228g Seafarer w/twin tanks. I do alot of fishing on Long Island Sound in Ct. could use more fresh water , range with main tank is no problem. Thinking of pulling Aux. fuel tank and replacing with a 25gal water tank and pump. Do you guys think it hurts value of boat...

Cut-out switch What make outboard do you have? The cut-out grounds out only one bank of cylinders ,2 on a V4 or 3 on a V6, not the entire engine to prevent stalling. Send me a PM, I,m sure I can help

Epuipment I'm going to tinker with the equipment over the weekend to see what fits best. The boat is an excepanionally clean 1989, boat was stored for about 4 years. I plan on getting a radar system so I'll probably move things again. Thanks guys for the info and pics. When I get everything...

I didn't like where the last owner of my 228g w/hardtop put the electronic package, ie. vhf, gps, ff. I decided to put the VHF & stero in the hardtop compartment, the GPS inside the dash compartment(out of sunlight) and the depth/fishfinder off center on dash. I have an external speaker for the...

OMC Book Gradyrod, the dealer I use gets his from what another member said, Ken Cook, P/n 507951 for about $90. Manual gives alot more detail than a Seloc which I have. Plan on buying one myself. Cook

Rubber strips Mine were not continuous either, I,m going to look in my Granger catalog and find something close in dimension and use full lenght strips. I could see them used as a sealant for the deck. I used 80lb test mono on my CC deck plate and worked fine when I pulled it up. For you info...

Pulled up both decks on my 228G w/twin tanks to replace fuel lines w/alcohol resistant lines, noticed the rubber strips on rear and sides of deck flange. The only purpose I can see is for vibration and eliminate any squeek. Remove them, keep them ?? Any opinions? :?:
