Russ, good idea to change the brake line, I assume she is braided rubber line , not steel. They don't last forever. I don't know if the leak is due to the missing bit on the fitting though. the threaded fitting doesn't seal on the female tread that it screws in the master cylinder. The flared...

It's like insurance you buy in the hope you never use it. How much is the ACR GlobalFIX V4 KY?

Have you checked the connections to the battery/ Are they spotless clean? A bad connection will do that.

It doesn't look good, hopefully it's only on the gelcoat but I think it may be old damage on the F/G. Not an ex hurricane boat that was repaired? In any case you will have to sand it down to F/G to see how deep it is and take it from there.

In my new 228 the pump is located at the rear on the starboard side. In my old 228 the pump was located under the port side helm seat . I could get to it by pulling out the 6" plate. Have you looked in there ? That boat had 3 outlets, the cabin , the rear shower and a faucet on the port side...

I replaced mine in my old boat with the same one as above. She was still perfect when I sold the boat. When I got my new to me 2013 seafarer the first thing I did was to check the red button breaker, she was still like new to my surprise so I left it alone. I think the first sign of failure is...

Russ, Before you replace the master cyl make sure the calipers are not seizing but I think you said they are new, next time you replace calipers use Kodiak stainless steel, much cheaper in the long run. You can replace the master cylinder in the actuator for about $100 but if you are going to...

My boat has the late model bracket, they are longer than the older brackets, I don't know if that has an effect on speed, I know it has more flotation as it is bigger. The speed stated is under ideal conditions checked on GPS , the Yam speedo shows about the same so no current . I just checked...

If I try for top speed on calm water without wind and tide against, trimmed out, about 47 maybe 48 MPH (5900-6000 RPM) with 2 on board, full tank, full water and full of gear. I'm spinning a Yamaha17" prop that came with the boat. I mostly cruise at 4000-4500 and speed depends if I'm heading...

My 2013 model 228 is rated 300 hp and I have seen a 2012 also rated 300. I think they changed the rating when they changed the bracket, it is bigger than the older models and the swim platform is aluminum all one piece with the bracket. Unfortunately mine only has a 250. The 300 needs higher...

I travel without the front clears, always in the cab but leave the side clears on even on short trips. We get bugs here in summer as well. Traveling on the motorway at 68 mph they smash on the front of the hardtop and drop dead on the floor. I can only imagine the mess on the front clears if...

Use the boat Russ.

I agree.

Nice trailer lee, I have a 7000 lb trailer under mine as well, and bunks with slides , she slides off almost as easy as rollers and I drive on. Who wants rollers these days, they are high maintenance, the boat moves on the trailer and they concentrate the weight of the boat in a few tiny places...

I would move on if I was you. Did you check this one in FL? https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2010-grady-white-360-express-7352346/ I know it's more expensive but later model same engines with lower hours and the big one NO BOTTOM paint lift kept. If kept on a lift all its life that's the boat to...

My 228, works very well.

Thanks Lee, I hope you guys are all well. We don't have many infected here and if it wasn't for Ruby Princess cruise ship, about 700 infections we would have a lot less. I see New York is terrible . After this coming Friday we will be able to go fishing again, hopefully we can keep the...

bartoma I meant the AP pump, the electric pump. If you have more room there you can T there.

I agree , I found out when I did mine, I managed to find the old holes but took a long time. With the long bolsters i found once I put 2 screws in the others were easier to find.
