I need to replace the connection for the ball valve handle and the rod that that fills my live well on my 228 any help on finding that part would be appreciated. I think I need a complete new rod.

So very welcome.
Bloodweiser helped me out with the length when I added my new live well and wash down system.

Does that extension include the ball valve itself and do you happen to know if it's the same size for both the livewell and raw water washdown?
By extension, it is just the metal rod and not the yellow handle that is shown in the pic right?

Man is that slick, I fabricated some rods to replace mine last year as they were toast, but these look much better.Not sure if this is what you need. Ordered a 24" for my 228.

The fork on the lower end is called a clevis yoke, or a rod clevis, if you have to replace one. When I bought my 2000 Seafarer last year, it was completely rusted away, so a steel one made it into the production by mistake, or GW may have used steel for a while. A nice person at TH sent me a stainless one. SS replacement is about $15 online, but the clevis pin is not always included, so check.

Just a heads up, you may want to vacuum your bilge as I’ve had shavings and debris like that burn out my bilge pumps. The debris gets caught in the impeller. It’s always something!
FYI - Just bought two as it’s only a matter of time before that bolt on my 2000 228 breaks off and it’s all rusted so taking off won’t be easy….
anyways, I bought from fishbrain free shipping plus 20% off so got 2 for 70 with tax included

That looks like a new seacock in an old bilge. Is that correct? How bad was the replacement job? I'm considering doing mine.

3-4 year old post. But that's what you'll need if yours are rusted off or seized shut. I replaced mine a few years back, the rods were good but the handles for seacocks were rusted off. You will stand on your head going into the bilge after them. The pics of that bilge at the first of this thread was beyond nasty. My throat was closing in and felt a smother coming on looking at it.
Here's a better view of a bilge. Just sayin'
