Florida Marina Tanks located in North Carolina. They make Grady's stuff now.

I don't know about y'all but unless that's a 192, you ain't winching no boat up no trailer unless you are Steve Austin, the $6 Million Dollar Man. Cousin Eddy told me that much. I am going with 3 as well and add Conjunction junction to it. I drive my boat to the winch stand or is it wench...

If I had to guess it's an 80s to early 90s 208. You can see in the background the captains seat and storage box. I have said it before, and will say it again, if Grady engineers would listen, the achellies heel of their boats is the transom cap. Somebody has had to tell them this at least...

You guys ever see your car exhaust on warm humid day when start it up? No,not really? What about a cold morning or cool morning ? Yep? Why? It's not steam per se and definitely not cooling water getting into the motor. It's chemistry and physics. When the motor takes in air that has moisture in...

The puller I got has a harden bolt in the center and these 3 legs that span out and have claw finger like that hooks under the spokes of the wheel. The center cap of the wheel pops off and the bolt in the middle pushes against the top of the shaft. I took a wrench and turned it until the wheel...

I think it means we are getting a new pope? Cold engine , cool outside temps with cool water has produced something similar in my boat. I guess what I am saying is sometimes atmospherics influence the appearance of the exhaust. Then again white smoke could mean something truly wrong.

The seacock for the washdown pump is on the port side. It's connected to a stainless rod with a knob on it. Mine is black but yours could be another color. The rod comes up at an angle above battery 1 . You either pull up to open and push down to close. If ain't open you ain't gettn no water...

I am trying to replace the inserts only. The 16s are the right length but the OEMs are about half as wide as the ones I bought.

Greetings, I had input from KY on his wiper replacement. He sent me a picture of some ANCO 16 inchers. I went online and ordered. I went to install today and they are easily twice as wide as the ones the boat which are OEM. His boat is an 04. So, can somebody with an 08 model year Grady post...

I actually just replaced my helm with a new one. I went to AutoZone and found a wheel puller that worked. My old wheel fitted snugly on the new seastar 1.7 tilt helm. Good luck .

Russ, I appreciate your logic. Mine is different. I am scared. My logic is driven by fear ,largely of death . As you know with your Navy experience the sea is unforgiving. Unlike the US Navy ,when I am on the sea it's just me ,a couple people and 22 feet of gelcoat and fiberglass with a clip...

Russ, buddy,. Your fuel system is the heart of the motor. That water separator is low hanging fruit, easy to install and more importantly the first line of defense to your motors fuel system. Change those filters amigo. It would be the FIRST thing to address. Then the next would be the filter...

My service guy does a compression test every time I do the annual service. He takes a sharpie and writes the result and date on the head of each cylinder. Simple ,yet sort of genius as you can track it. My question is did you get new water fuel separators installed? As far as finding a...

And you can take some yard trash out too. I would love to catch some Yellowfin. I have caught black fin. Slit their throats ,let them bleed out on the deck and put them on ice. We grilled it , no sushi for me. Lol.

I have an idea. Post the model year and seat types here. Then ask if anyone would have oem or reproduced OEM seats and ask them if they have a local upholstery shop that does marine work. Then ask if they would take their seats to said shop as a template and then pay said shop for the new...

I bought my 228 new in 2009. Congrats it's a good boat. My anchor locker doesn't just empty into the cabin. There is a door that opens between the cabin and locker. Maybe your door is not closed all the way? The inspection ports could be leaking. They are snap on with a gasket . Mine are...

When I bought my 228 new in 09 my kids were 10 and under . I went to my local upholstery shop and said, hey can you make a copy of these using marine grade vinyl and parts? They said yep. I took the factory cushions out and stored them and put my custom made ones in . To this day my vinyl...

Take a hammer and smash the 942xs into pieces and the problem will be solved. You will have obliterated it. Some attorney somewhere decided it must do that. I think Seasick is partially right, but my guess is instead of sailing off the flat earth edge , which could happen especially where I...

A 4 blade prop definitely helps, especially in reverse at the dock. The SeaV2 hull is variable dead rise which ,of course many know this, the V shape evolves as you go from bow to stern. In head seas you want the deeper V up front to split the waves more so than the shallower V mid ship ...

I bought a knock off from some dudes in Texas called South Jetty. I call it my South Yeti . It's a 65 and we take it boat camping and car camping with us. I think the 228 has a lot of cockpit space but when I go fishing a handful times of the year,I leave the South Yeti at the dock. I want my...
