wow that took 10 minutes.... looks like a well cared for boat..

Solid Advice....

There may be an antireverse valve fitting installed in line on the hose from the pump to the baitwell. You can withdraw the valve to see if there is water flow out of the pump and perhaps the issue is the valve..

I found that Interlux 355 was the best for rub rail. Unfortunately Interlux discontinued the product like 10 years ago. I bought a case and use whats left every year...

I have that exact pump and it does not have to be primed 1-there should be a lever stopcock on that pipe under the pump. Be sure it is in the OPEN position 2-When you run the pump do you feel it running. If not, the problem is electrical (check breaker, wiring) 3-If it is running then take off...

I give the deck drains a B. The metal part is a bit higher than the deck so I had to dremel down to make it more flush. I should have dremeled down more than level so all the water would drain from the deck. A small amount still remains...

Totally agree on replaceing the hoses. I have always replaced mine regularly. Last year when I replaced my deck drains to stainless with black ball to stop backup is the last time I replaced drain hoses.

I needed a new set.

I agree they are redundant because I do have the ball that floats up. The scuppers were never a 100% water tight seal and they always impeded drainage from the deck much more so than the current deck drain with floating ball. So far. so good.

Every year I replace the 3 black rubber scuppers on the back of my 228, One is for the bait-well and the other 2 are the port and starboard deck drains. This year the boatyard launched my boat before I had a chance to install them so there are no scuppers installed at all. My port and starboard...

I know the windshield snaps can be moved along the rail but I was concerned about the snaps toward the back which are drilled in the fiberglass. I would want to attach the mating snap o the boat.

Is it best to have A&J them ship them back with the snaps ON or OFF. Seems my canvas is always very tight early in the season..

I had eisenglass on my last 2 sets but I find that it stains/fogs over time and I am not sure of the cause. Is strata-glass any different?

And just to be clear. I am not referring to a winter cover. I am looking for the 7-8 pieces that enclose the cockpit on a 228 with hardtop. I would think the best way to do this is to have it send without snaps and attach the snaps on the boat. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

any idea where to get a new set? I can put the snaps on....

I have agreed value which this year they lowered by 20% and raised the rate as well....

Other than GEICO (and I am not a fan) can anyone suggest good insurance for a 23 foot Grady used summer months in CT?

As a winter project I am reconditioning my swim platform on my 2003 228. when I took it off the calk between the platform and the top of the motor bracket revealed areas of bare metal. Aluminum I believe. I'm looking for recommendations to paint (beige I believe) the motor bracket. Any suggestions?

I have 200 feet of 8-plait in there. It's tight sometimes if I use the majority of it and when it is retrieved the rope will pile on itself and might need a nudge to push overt the pile. Go with the 200....
