Lets see it is slow speed zone from just past the Coast Guard station south past NSB, brief speed up near Edgewater then slow speed south of Oak Hill nearly to the entrance to Haulover Canal. Then it is slow speed in the Canal. Most of the ICW is open from Titusville to Vero except under some...

Bob, 90% of my fuel consumption is e10. It is good to know about the water and phase seperation. She is kept under cover in a big metal pole barn shed and not much rain or snow ever touches the boat. I honestly misread it. I think it is electrical. Either the cables or perhaps a starter...

Guys, last night I put battery 1 on 2 amp trickle charge and it was full this afternoon. I checked the leads and yes Grady did wire the neutrals in parrallel and all the nuts are tight and I did not notice the ground being loose or wired back on itself. The motor started fine at the ramp before...

Larry: We ran the boat for perhaps 3 hours tops between putt'n along exploring and being on plane. I am trickle charging the batteries to elimenate this variable. You could be onto something as the shift control was sticky going between neutral and forward, but not neutral to reverse. But...

Hi Guys: Took the boat to the lake today, Lake Fontana in the Smokies and did not have a great day. Fontana is a dammed lake for those that do not know and it is fed by the Little Tennessee, the Nantahala, Tuckasegee Rivers plus numerous mountain streams. Anyway, during the spring rains the...

The 125 motor may be the lowest hp limit for that boat. Definitely check the transom. If you can find newer one with a SV2 hull it will ride better too than a 88.

I dont have a hole in the stern from the outboard? I am confused. There is the Grady drive bracket back there, but no hole. Did the older 228s have the motor snugged up like the 226 with a motor well and so forth? At some point in history the bracket was introduced, so I guess I answered my own...

Just curious, having never owned one, what were the big problems with the motors? I went to Yammi's web site and they still make the HPDI, is it safe to assume they fixed the problems?

Ditto on the boat care stuff...thought about the UW lights..maybe next season.

Thanks Doc. Funny, I use to think we took care of our boat pretty good until I joined this forum. :lol: I am glad I found this site and glad folks are willing to pass on their experiences. I know of 2 Exxons here in the NC Smokies and neither of them are on the way to any of the lakes I...

Nothing to see here, just move along, move along...I vote for seafarer with an outboard. Caveat though unless this hull is in really good shape and repowering, even with a used fuel injected outbaord, is way cheaper than other 228s, I would just move along (lol).... :wink: It seems repairing...

wow, total junk on the Yammy. I had an F150 and put over 500 hours on it without a lick of trouble and my F250 is awesome, just only 150 hours, but it is a smooth running motor. Mine is the newer variable valve timed motor, well not sure if all F250s had that design or not, but mine is an 08...

What perplexes me is how the inside wire, coated in a vinyl plastic generally inert to water, freshwater at that, also lost its protective insulation. They were running bare exposed wire through the rigging tube? This makes no sense at all. Did you have chaffing of the wires against the...

Gotagrip, what dilution ratio are you using the vinegar water solution? I am assuming it is not straight vinegar.

So my question is, how frequent should this stuff be added? We use primarily BP (Amaco) fuels here.

I have had a F150 and put over 500 hours on it without a problem of course doing regular maintenance. I now own a F250. I have never used Ring Free in either motor. Is this a product necessary for 4 Stroke motors? If so, then what time or hour frequency do you all recommend I add Ring Free...

I usually start it on battery 1. I don't think I have ever moved the switch while the motor was running. I have started on both before. I would add not to do this. Even going between 1 and ALL, there is mommentary position where the circuit is open. It would have to be to isolate the...

Funny, they did not add that little tid bit to the manual. Both Grady dealers I have purchased boat from did go over the boats well with me, but this part of the tour escapes me. After owning a Grady for nearly a decade I finally got this straight. :wink:

Here is something else. We noticed some mildew on the ceiling of our bathroom this winter. Went to lowes to look for Kilz and the paint guy told me, not to use bleach but to use amonia in a 3 to 1 ratio with water. Guess what, it worked! and not only that no mildew has come back yet...Maybe...

it is good to know these things...thanks for the info...Strike, Flo gave me a tricked out name tag with my name on it when I bought my insurance..did they give you yours? I think Flo is kind of hot too... 8) The Admiral knows of my crush...it is all good...
