    How big an issue?

    Just get the new grady stuff. Color matches perfect. Looks like the new models and doing it in stainless adds no additional transom support. First glance it looks non oem

    Ya kno, I think I used a hole saw to open the hole in the box. My step bit was too small but all right and no leaks. Pita but didn’t have to cut any access hole.

    Any New Zealand owners here?

    There is no perfect answer for 100% of the population. What makes it great is you are free to say what you want and not get hanged for it. If you want to move you go a great boat for NZ.

    New to me 228 seafarer, outboard height questions.

    Pretty sure factory from Grady is one hole up from the bottom. Other have gone higher with good results. If I was you I would go up two holes and see how you like it. I played around with changing heights on my grady bracket years ago and remember a significant change on each height.

    Outboard spacer for transom bang plate repair

    What I ended up doing. Called grady and got their new stuff. $3 a foot and matches perfectly. Doesn’t bow with heat and used 1/4” starboard as a spacer. Works great so far this year. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/transom-cap-bang-plate-replacement.29251/

    LittleEgg/Beach Haven Inlet local knowledge?

    The north channel is called the north cut. Someone always running through its unmarked. Would just follow someone coming in or out. The inlet was dredged and plenty deep in the markers. You can easily see where the sand bars are.

    Launched and running smooth

    What I meant was the motor warmed up in the water not on muffs. There should be absolutely zero bubbles coming from the lower unit

    Does bubbles come up from the lower when in the water warmed up idling?
