My guess is they are made or supplied by Sea Star. Is your helm made by Sea Star? I replaced my helm.last year and my hoses were replaced in 17 when I got my motor stolen. The point of my story is Sea Star has slightly changed their fittings . Fortunately for me my new hoses paired with the...

Dodged some rain drops today to get more stuff done. That 4 blade prop looks sexy on the boat. Oh somebody asked about acetone. Acetone is a solvent and putting some on a cloth and quickly wiping it ,you are literally dissolving the surface of the rubber material and removing it . In a way...

Thanks guys . I have met some really great people through this forum. I look forward to getting some getting nice pics of our boats together. I hope we bring home some dolphin and tuna. KY is a good guy. it should be fun. He is staying down on Marathon and I am up in Key Largo. We are...

That's my " farm and ranch" garden hose . lol.

I am with fishtales and Dennis on this one. I have replaced the spray head twice on my 08 put into service 09 . You should hear the pump initially turn on and pressure up . it's like an RV system on demand,but you likely already know this. You can dissemble the the head and clean the debris...

That's great!

Spent the weekend working on my boat . It's hard keeping up with KYs of the world. But I am up to it! lol. I too have Colinites some money. I cleaned all the top side gel coat with finesse it and maguires oxidation remover and waxed with Collinite. Acetone the rub rail and 303d it. I even out...

Ok, since nobody is going to ask. How does the power tech prop do at making coleslaw or chipping up wood? Asking for a friend. I really think most Grady's powered by Yamaha in particular would benefit from 4 blade props. They are heavy and the SeaVee hull had its own ride and planing...

Mine eventually failed and like the other guys said I went to a stainless job and had to enlarge the hole. at the time I did order through Grady . I got some epoxy resin after making the hole bigger and liberally applied it to the exposed wood in the transom cap/gunwhale where my shower is...

Great day. Where is here ?

Guys, The SeaVee 2 hull with it's variable dead rise geometry performs best when it's level. It took me a year to figure that out on the 228. Trim tabs are not for listing ,they are for getting the most out of the SeaVee2 design. It's the nature of the hull be it a 208 or 336 and everything...

Cool.

Thanks guys. it's my understanding salt away is vinegar and soap..I figured I would make my own.. funny ,I picked up that super vinegar today. I want to get the water spots off the windshield glass with it. I coated all the galvanized stuff ( axels and mounting brackets) with fluid film the...

Mahogany will last longer than you or I and boat put together. Stain it and put a nice urethane spar coat and you're in business.

I need the great Grady great brain trust input. In years past I would dunk the trailer and rinse with water. I have read some folks use WD40 and spray axles and brakes with it to displace the Saltwater. Others have said to use salt away or vinegar with dawn and water in a pump sprayer...

When my kids were little they would fish the bow of the 228. in fact when we go fishing for yellow tail and anchor up we still do. now , when we troll and get a dolphin or tuna we have never walked a fish around . one, we keep the boat moving and if the fish makes a run to either side we turn...

Hey Fishtales, why wouldn't you first build the panel and glass it ,then install it ? plywood likes to absorb water through the edges with capillary action of the grain of the wood. I think at a minimum you would want to at least coat or encapsulate the panel in resin , getting the edges really...

I might add since A and J did them for their boats and still does that Lee might have a better idea of any changes than Grady. it wouldn't hurt to call both.

My only real complaint with the 228 is the beam. just 4 or 6 inches mid ship would make the companion way nicer to maneiver through without getting my shirt snagged on the arm rests of the pompanet captains chairs . lol. My other complaint it's not a Marlin. lol. I wish they could have...

I will hit a couple answers here. Power Tech makes a knock off SDS hub called Cushion Lock.. It should not clunk. KY runs one now and he can verify . So,skunk is right . I think if you swap the exact same size prop from a 3 to 4 you get those performance drop offs. To answer what pitch , I...
