Yeah it’s a pita but doable without drilling any access ports. I see your in nj if close I can show u in person how I did it. Once you start to take the hoses off the T both 90’s from the bottom of each box leak when filled with water. It’s fun sealing the further 90 from the small access plate...

His post is what gave me the idea for 1/4” starboard.

Who did you have do the repair?

Thanks Russ. Yeah works great and looks oem and clean.

What ever you use make sure u make a spacer for the motor so it doesn’t crush the plate and distort up the plate and in time caulk shrinks back a little and let’s water in.

Just get the new grady stuff. Color matches perfect. Looks like the new models and doing it in stainless adds no additional transom support. First glance it looks non oem

Ya kno, I think I used a hole saw to open the hole in the box. My step bit was too small but all right and no leaks. Pita but didn’t have to cut any access hole.

It’s a two person job. Need a step bit. Stick a scraper or something in the drain in the box and unthread the drain out. There is two tabs inside the drain for the scraper to press against to thread out. Once that’s out take the hose clamp off the hose that goes to the T and pull the hose and 90...

That’s awesome

Autopilot on a 226? Did you ever make a thread about your install?

There is no perfect answer for 100% of the population. What makes it great is you are free to say what you want and not get hanged for it. If you want to move you go a great boat for NZ.

politics aside I would like to live there regardless!

Pretty sure factory from Grady is one hole up from the bottom. Other have gone higher with good results. If I was you I would go up two holes and see how you like it. I played around with changing heights on my grady bracket years ago and remember a significant change on each height.

Beautiful boat lucky. If you can afford new then do it. Nothing like new and warranty.

Ha that’s my retired fathers boat who has the time to compound his rub rail. Takes a long time but comes up great and jealous.

How your rub rails should look.

What I ended up doing. Called grady and got their new stuff. $3 a foot and matches perfectly. Doesn’t bow with heat and used 1/4” starboard as a spacer. Works great so far this year. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/transom-cap-bang-plate-replacement.29251/

Is it your boat I see for sale in our local Craigslist for 23,500?
