    Ping Pong ball flow max scuppers

    Has anybody install these Flomax ping pong ball style scuppers? My issue is the Grady scuppers are a metal thru hull style that’s going to be very hard to remove. In fact, I have to drill through the flange of it if I want to install these with it there. I think they made to screw into the...

    Cockpit heat ideas 208 Adventure

    Thanks I’m definitely going to install one in my Seafarer. I just spent two nights at the coast on my friends C Dory in without his diesel heater we would’ve froze! My Grady will never have a pilothouse, but it can have heat!

    Cockpit heat ideas 208 Adventure

    232 Grady, How did you run ducts from the port side to the starboard side helm? Under the deck or in the cuddy. I'd like to do that without cutting up my deck. Got any photos of that? Also, where did you mount your heater unit, didn't see that. thanks?

    Garmin Navionics+ on GPSMAP chartplotters.

    Yeah, I agree with Garmin bought Navionics. I wish they had changed their charts to look exactly like Navionics. I’ve been using the app for three years and I love it. I pay 20 bucks for every year. I only use it for bottomfish season, but also armchair, navigating calculating gas burn to...

    What instrument gauge is this?

    Yamaha makes one too. I used to have one. Very handy for knowing when your impeller is wearing out. They are on ebay.

    Livewell drain fitting

    It sure is a pain to mess with the livewell! But I've never had so many problems until today. I installed a 1 1/2" valve on the drain incase of failure at the dock. Anyway after replacing the 22 year old broken inlet fitting, Then twisting it after sealing it leaks. More of a problem is the 22...

    Updating stereo on boat 228

    Ya look at the Fusion 10" it had the smallest cutout area of the 10"s I looked at. BTW in my last boat I had a 12" in the cabin. Even with the door open it did not sound that good. But lots of room in there. Maybe if I had a bigger amp it would be fine. I noticed the Fusion likes a lot more...

    Scotty downrigger mounting advice.

    Don has the perfect location. I mounted mine too close to the rear rod holder to use it w/ DRs. I'm pretty serious about fishing though so don't think Scottys look bad. I have a system that locks mine on for thieves as well. Those gimbal mounts are easy to steal as well.

    228 Seafarer?

    Sounds like you've done all your homework. Agree with all you thoughts, potential uses and assement of the current Grady line. I use my boat similarly with the family half the time then fishing the other. Love the trailerability, very important to me. A 225hp fourstroke is enough power to tube...

    2004 Yamaha F225 exhaust problems

    No I didn't, I figure since the Yamaha is the issue I don't need to pay extra at the Grady White dealer LOL. (not actually sure of labor rate). I called 3 Yamaha service centers, Lighthouse, Salmon somthing in Tacoma, and Auburn Sports and Marine (they do great work). What I asked was "how...

    1993 208 Adventure Hardtop Kicker Addition

    To prevent the kicker from sucking the bulb dry on the main, you need an anti-siphon valve. It just a hose barb you screw into your fuel water seperator, easy peezy Amazon has them. Your tiny kicker is isn't going to prop walk you anywhere. Non issue. I'd worry about the weight issues though...

    1993 208 Adventure Hardtop Kicker Addition

    The steering isn't going to change from a little kicker motor but it's annoying that grady the the swim platform ladder on the port. I mounted my kicker on starboard so I didn't have to move the ladder. The handle can hit the main during trailering. That's a good reason to mount on port, (like...
