So just an update on my propology journey, I did chat with Ken Reeves and he was great in explaining the various prop characteristics. He said that the Michigan Wheel 4 blade that I had was fine with the 14 3/8 diameter by 18 pitch as I was able to corner very well with it. I decided that I...

The 228 that I just bought has a bolt on bracket so they had to trim off the swim grid for it to fit works great

Here's the reply from Grady; Hi Mr. Davis, Unfortunately we do not sell parts direct. All parts sales must go through a Certified Grady-White Dealer. With the boat being a 99 model that part may be obsolete. Your dealer can check the availability for you through our parts department...

Will do thanks for the link

No I haven’t tried contacting a GW dealer but may do that if nothing turns up elsewhere thanks

It’s a 1999 I tried to Google it for parts but nothing comes up, I’m in Canada West Coast Vancouver Island but would like a part in the US or Canada thanks

Hello just wondering if someone might know where to find a replacement hinge piece for the side window in the cabin of a 228G Seafarer? I will include a picture. There are 3 of them on each window along the top that are tightened with allen wrenches, thanks , Don

Thanks for this information, I’m hoping to only have to add the 40 amp breaker near the batteries and the new 25 amp breaker for the toilet pump when it arrives from Amazon . Then I will reroute the toilet wiring to the panel at the helm basically shorten it with the help of an expert electrical...

Ya that’s what I was thinking, the boat was a mess when I bought it from the insurance company so can’t really expect very much, thanks

I see the reference in the diagram now but have never found that breaker in the boat, I don’t think it’s anywhere in the boat, unless I’m blind...

Well I finally see the reference to the 40 amp breaker and the two 5 amp breakers in the accessories wiring diagram that Keeldad supplied above and the same one that I downloaded a little while ago, mystery solved! Must have been the tiny letters and cluttered diagram, thanks

Yes 2 batteries and a single switch, thanks.

Wow thanks for this information very much appreciated, I have called a friend to help me out that has been in the automotive/marine electrical business for many years he’s coming over today or tomorrow . It would be great to know how big of a circuit breaker I should install near the battery...

I can’t find any fuses or a circuit breaker near the batteries at the transom any suggestion as to what size of circuit breaker I should install for the boat? Thanks

Interesting as I have replaced the battery selection switch or night switch as some people call it. The red power wire and black negative wire for the panel under the helm are connected directly to the main battery, it seems that my boat is missing a breaker possibly from the previous owner. But...

Interesting I don’t think I have seen a master breaker near the battery, I did replace the night switch battery selector as the previous one was pretty beat up. Does someone have a picture of where that master breaker might be located ?

No windlass, I have only had this boat since early December and have been going through everything and replacing or fixing as needed so nothing surprises me anymore. A good diversion during the Covid lockdown I suppose. I wish I had an original wiring diagram, I did download an old owners manual...

Seems interesting that the toilet in my 1999 Seafarer is connected to the 25 amp circuit breaker and then directly to the battery in the aft compartment. I wonder if this was the standard configuration back in 1999? I thought it made more sense to connect to the bus under the helm. Or is the amp...

Sorry 2ft from the toilet in the starboard storage space in the cuddy/cabin, there is a picture of it earlier in this post

Actually there is a 25 amp circuit breaker about 2 feet away that I need to replace that as well
