    Thinking about air ride seats for my 228

In calm conditions with the tabs down I can get my 226...

    Seat cushions - replacement new or used; availability of vinyl?

    Good luck. Blue water canvas wanted $700 to redo my 226 seafarer back cushion with gw logo and grady’s spec vinyl.

    Listing to Starboard

    Both of my batteries were on port side of my 2005 226. Moved them both to the starboard side. Now it leans to starboard. But level when on plane because of prop torque. Most prop torque is at 12 through 3 o’clock of the prop revolution. Causing a port lean on a single motor application.

    A 99? gas tank and transom motor very reliable but low hours can be a bad thing Like internal Corrosion if used in saltwater and sat not used. Motor still 21 years old yanno. a 99 car that was parked on a beach would u buy? Hours don’t really matter in my opinion

    Foot switches for windlass?

    Before and after. Tied end of rope to a 2x4 with a hole in it as a stopper. Also taped the rope with red tape so shouldn’t go that far as I can see the warning tape.
