seasick, I have the 1000 on mine , I can use 1/2' rope or 5/8 but chain has to be 5/16 I believe. Mine works fine on freefall and motor.

UCPA111 has the in line 6 supercharged Verado if i'm not mistaken a lot heavier than the new V8 , like 150 lb heavier. If I was to repower my boat I would fit a 300 Merc V8, not saying my 4.2 Yam is not good, it is but I like Mercs better. I wouldn't consider Zukes , much heavier , offset shaft...

TM275 Chirp, I fish game and I need to find bait schools at speed. I drop at up to 1500' as well for bottom fish and I need to read the bottom. I pick up fish at that depth on the bottom. I didn't want to put a large hole on the bottom to fit a through hull .

If you have the survey from the time you bought it they may accept that, ask them.

Russ, if I had to spend $20k to rebuilt against $40k for new I would go new every time without hesitation but that's me. Keep in mind that you will get some $$ for your old engines as long they are running, I don't know how much you will get but I would think $10k? So exchange would be $30k...

I have 160' 5/8 and 5/16 short link chain , I think I can fit at least 200' in the locker. I wouldn't use anything smaller than 1/2".

No worries , happy to help . Your boat would come with the lower profile but the late model look much better . I'm not surprised they are expensive KY they are much thicker than the old type. I don't think you can get these on a roll, they wouldn't bend.

I mounted mine on the transom, removed the little ducer and mounted the new one there.

They are 1/4" thick, these are the late model, I don't have the old boat to measure the old type. KY should be able to measure them.

Neat job, looks very tidy.

Yes they are , I think they changed around 2012 on the 228

You are very welcome, let me know if I can be of more assistance. It looks easy enough to fit on.

When I said no FG work , I meant no additions and no patching up. Of course you have to make holes to mount the windlass and a big hole for the rode and chain to go through, that's a given. I can't comment on the location of the drop as we don't have lots of Grady 228s here. Mine is also...

I have a 228 much later model but my old 228 was similar . I would think you will have one pump under the livewell and another forward of the helm on your boat . The forward one should be very easy it should have a plate there. The rear one is a pain but doable if you are or have some one very...

I have one in my 228G, it came with the boat, if it didn't I wouldn't fit one as I don't anchor much , mostly catching live bait. No F/glass work required as long as you have the factory pulpit. There is enough room in the anchor locker to work .

This is what i used in my previous 228, screws on your seacock and has another outlet that you can hook on to it then run a dedicated washdown pump. Livewell pumps should be high volume low pressure and low amp. Washdown you need high pressure low volume and they are high amp but only used for...

We had smoke in Sydney on and off for a few weeks now but at least we not on fire here . There are bushfires ( wildfires to you ) out of control all over from just south of Sydney right down to Victoria . This time of the year there are lots of holiday makers all over the coast and that makes...

I have a hardtop 228 G with a 4.2 lt 250 Yamaha as fitted at Grady factory. I spin a 15 3/4X 17 SS , again as per factory fit. This boat only comes with one tank (125 gal) fitted forward right up the cab door with the 10 gal water tank right behind it. Fishing with full tank, gear and 3 on...

Really? Looks like a pond, calm as. Not so in the first picture but still pretty calm.

On later models post 2012 I think the same key that does the cabin hatch does the under seats as well.
