    Fuel Before Winter Layup

    That's what I use alcohol for as well, never in my fuel tank in the boat or car for that matter. I think you guys should use your boats more often don't put E10 in your tanks and you won't have any problems . Don't forget we have aluminum tanks in our Grady's and the stuff is very corrosive.

    Interesting issue

    Loose connection somewhere , I would check the battery terminals and anywhere else where the cables connect for corrosion.

    I put a picture up but was removed here you go again. . I swapped the plastic ones with S/S on both boats even thou they were still like new on my current boat. The rub rail is the same as the one on your boat not the later model S/S. It is the genuine item. I'm open to reasonable offers if you...

    Postage

    I don't know why you would bother with the plastic rod holders, replace them with S/S , much better . That's what I did , I was lucky to sell my plastic ones . Like KY said engage a shipping agent, have the items send there they will pack them all in one box , price is reasonable and very quick...

    Opinion on Power Winches

    I have a 912 here that I haven't used for years as I drive on these days . She is about 20 years old and made in USA . I never had any problems winching a 23' boat on a roller trailer.

    Anyone know the story behind this boat?

    From the little GW knowledge that I have this boat is a lot older than 2001. I'm sure the square looking windows on the cabin are pre 1998 . The other thing GW used Yamahas long before 2001. Very easy to check the age, ask for the HIN.

    Anchor/Windlass Help

    I had the double roller on a previous boat too. It also worked well , as the forward roller is lower than the rear roller the anchor would be leaning forward .

    Anchor/Windlass Help

    I don't know what kind of roller you have on the bowsprit but a tilt one should work . I have one of these on my boat .

    Rolled the dice and I lost it seems.

    I think that is the problem. If the boat lived in the water in your summer months makes it even worse as some salt water will be in the bilge . After each use I wash my boat using hot water, rinse the top of the tank and half fill the bilge so the pumps go on this way I know they work and no...

    Rolled the dice and I lost it seems.

    It's a bit unusual for the tank to corrode in 15 years use , they are well made from marine aluminum and painted as well. It is more likely corrosion around the sender as they are fixed with S/S screws .

    2005 Seafarer 228 Bilge wiring question

    Check the fuse located near your battery switch, the float switch is wired before the battery switch so the bilge pump will work even if the batteries are turned off.

    Finally

    Whatever you do don't take the hardtop off. The $$ you will save on shipping you will spend taking if off and replacing it and could even damage the boat. I don't know the port charges in Brisbane but should be similar to Port Kembla , if that's so all up should be less than $10 k US including...

    Finally

    Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the club, I hope all goes well with the importation. I see more GW's in Sydney every day , when I got my first I only knew of two more 228 's here . I bought my second 228 in FL several months ago, got her home last March , complied and registered...

    Seafarer Grady bracket

    My old boat had a two piece plug One part goes on the inside of the bracket ( you need long arm to reach the hole) and the other part goes on the outside , screws in to the inside part to seal the hole . The outside part had a groove with O ring in it . The outside part was like a hex nut all...
