    Replacement Stereo for 2004 GW282

    We have a new to us 2003 282 which had an older Jensen stereo installed with wired remote (I think the boat originally had a Kenwood unit from the factory). It only worked sporadically and had a CD stuck in the slot. No Bluetooth, USB, etc. I replaced the Jensen with the same size Clarion M303...

    Sailfish 282 Electronics replacement

    We purchased a 2003 282 last Nov that is currently in storage. The previous owner had installed a RM C80 in the glove box (same as yours). I plan to replace with twin Simrad NSS8s or one NSS8 (currently own) and a HDS-8 Gen (less expensive but compatible solution for GPS and radar display...

    Radar on Seafarer

    I mounted a HD18 on my 228 on the forward lip of the hardtop using a 4" aft leaning mount w/a homemade 4 degree wedge made of startboard for the rear set of bolts. I used the Garmin antenna mounting hardware to mount the weather and GPS mushrooms on the underside of the hardtop which worked fine...

    Engine oil at Prop??????

    I spoke with Clyde yesterday. They will be working on my boat today to fix a leak in my brake line and look into the oil coming out of the prop. I should have some feedback by the end of the day. At this point I think it's fogging oil but I would like Baert to verify for peace of mind.

    22 to 228 ride dif.

    Although I have no experience with the 226 vs 228 the 228 doesn't seem to handle much differently in terms of backing up from the the BW 190 Montauk I owned previously. Interestingly the predictabilitly docking the 228 in a variety of conditions has been quite a bit easier then the MTK 190...

    Grady owners need to check this out!!!

    I bought their leftover 2008 Seafarer last fall and as part of the deal allowed them to keep it on the showroom floor - you may have partly made your decision after looking over mine :) Although we made a fair deal I am sure we could have saved or considered the 258 based on current pricing...
