Or if you’re going for pure function you can use the throwable foam cushions and fix them in place with zip ties to the handles. They’ll cost you $15 or less each on sale...

I have the same seats and just replaced the slider. The slider mounts into a recessed area on the underside of the seat so be aware of the length and width restrictions on the slider; needed to make a spacer to use the new slider I ordered since it was longer than the recess and also needed...

I believe non-petroleum based was recommended as petroleum could deteriorate the soft goods in the valve. As Dennis stated, frequent exercising of the valves is important.

Well we do need storage for spare anchors and chain when people go on one way sightseeing tours far offshore... :oops: In reality we need a lot of ice to chill yellowfin tuna quickly to maintain quality. The general rule for sashimi grade fish is to brine it with a 2:1 ratio of ice to fish...

Best bet is to go to the Grady White website and send an inquiry with your model and year. They usually get back in 1-2 business days and will provide original specs as well as current equivalent part numbers if available. You can also try searching this forum using Google; works way better...

The current model Tacoma has a higher output than the last generation but is built on pretty much the same chassis. I don’t doubt that it can tow and stop a 226/228 with trailer brakes so it comes down to individual preference. I tow a 208 with a 2015 Tundra with the 5.7 and like having the...

Just to be clear can you verify if the 7,000 rating is total or net? I’m guessing you might have 2 - 3,500 lb. axles and your trailer might be a little over 1,000 giving you a net/boat/fuel/gear/ice capacity of a little under 6,000 lbs. Most people’s setups weigh more than the calculated numbers...

Water looks great and the layout of that 228 is awesome! Hope the fish cooperated!

Download the manual for your model year. You can find a lot of specifications there or use google: site:www.greatgrady.com “search term” That search term has saved me a lot of time and helped me get answers faster than even replies from from fellow forum members...

What he said. 1,600 psi for disc brakes. Wouldn’t recommend drum brakes (1,000 psi). google gave me this answer: https://www.etrailer.com/question-52663.html

SeaDek is great stuff but it will stain if blood, etc. isn’t cleaned up immediately. The fit and finish on it is better than competing products I’ve seen and it seems to stand up to UV better than the cheap Amazon/eBay options. I’d venture that installation prep and application are just as...

Hi Blair, Pretty sure I remember some of your posts from the Arima forum. I had a 17 Chaser that I sold to my friend and ended up with an Adventure 208. There is no comparison between the ride and handling of the two boats other than they both feel safe and will get you home. For drift fishing...

Sorry for the bad picture/lighting. 5’x2’x2’ fiberglass fishbox lives on my 208. Can’t risk 250+ lbs of fishbox, ice, and (hopefully) fish sliding around on deck so it has aluminum angle brackets on all 4 sides and is strapped down fore/aft. Yeti/rotomolded keep ice better but lose a lot of...

Safety gear up to date? PFDs for at least maximum capacity on board (8?). You can store spares in the cuddy compartments under the cushions. Epirb/PLB registration info changed? Since it’s used did you get the MMSI number info changed or are you getting a new vhf? Anchor/chain/rope in good...

Nice! Looks like a significantly stronger assembly. Gotta ask, did you isolate the aluminum and galvanized with some sort of rubber sheet or pvc tape?

Nice work on the ladder! Please correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t the bow roller be above the bow eye and the winch strap/cable pulling more horizontal? The current configuration seems like it will keep the bow from bouncing up but not necessarily keep the boat from sliding back. Transom...

Call Ken Reeves at Prop Gods. He sells PowerTech and can point you in the right direction. Have you hull and engine info handy and he can reference similar setups. (941) 735-5808 You should be able to improve on those numbers with a 4 blade for sure. The most immediate change I saw was instant...

Sounds like you guys have props dialed in. Agree with Skunk’s other post that over 40 kts/mph is more than fast enough. I guess he just needs to decide on 20 or 21 pitch and drop $1k on the new props. Skunk, let us know what you decide to go with and the performance numbers once you get her on...

Sounds like you have the OFS4 Since they’re 15-1/4” diameter. Skunk has 3x16x20 Suzuki props. Talking to a few people(Ken, PowerTech, etc.) the Suzuki props are more like 1-2” pitch than the stamped number. Basically you have the same effective pitch but you have an extra blade and he has 3/4”...

Call Ken Reeves at Prop Gods and see what he recommends. The larger diameter LFS4 props might give more bite but you’ll be guessing as to the exact pitch to match what Tilewave has. If you like his setup might as well copy it and take out the guesswork. But if you’re going for more stern...
