While doing some spring cleaning I discovered some bare wood under the swim platform. I will repair but need advice on what to use. I'm guessing its an epoxy paint of some sort. Anyone know what was originally used.

I just purchased a Garmin 18HD radar for my 228 and have a couple of questions. Has anyone mounted on an aft leaning radar mount without interference with their VHF antenna, lights, etc? The radar just arrived today and I haven't had a chance to "dry fit" it yet. I'd prefer not to relocate...

The rubber trim that separates the gunwale and the midship fish boxes on my 228 has come loose. I'm not sure what type of adhesive is used to reattach this trim. Has anyone else done this repair and if so what did they use?

My old Garmin 235 Sounder finally died this spring and I took the opportunity to replace it with some up to date electronics. I also decided to improve the looks of the helm by flush mounting the new chartplotter/sounder. As you can tell, the old "glove box" was a great place to toss keys...

I'm getting ready to replace some broken button snaps on my cushions and am looking for a source for good snaps & tool. I've not heard good things about the West Marine snaps. Anybody out there that could point me in the right directions?

Here's a couple of photos from an inshore trip taken from Los Suenos Resort in Costa Rica. First time rooster for me. Kind of like the fight you would get in an Amberjack of this size. Lots of fun with great scenery and a terrific crew. Wish we had these in S.C.

I'm looking for opinions....drystack vs. jetdock storage for my 228. Actual pros and cons would be appreciated. Could save a substanial amount per year on boat storage if I switched. I would like some actual "real-world" comparisons. Thanks so much.

My drystack is undergoing a rennovation and will be replaced with an exposed rack system. Before there was an enclosed "barn" that kept the boat from being exposed to the weather, sun, etc. I am considering purchasing a canvas cover to keep the exposure to a minumun and would like some...

I'm look for new foam for my cockpit cushions. The foam that is inside the cushions now acts like a sponge and they are full of water. A year ago I dried the foam and then wrapped the foam in a kitchen trash bag, and sealed with duct tape. I thought this would keep the water out but it has...

Someone hit my '00 OX66 engine and put a large gouge in the top of the cowling. It goes into the fiberglass about a quarter inch. I plan on filling the gouge with Marine-Tex and repainting just the top plate of the cowling. I've searched the web but can't seem to find the color codes...

Earlier today I was replacing the zincs on my Yamaha OX66 and sheared the heads off two of the bolts. This anode is the one near the tilt and trim unit. The anode had gotten really crusty and the bolt threads on the two I was able to back all the way out were really salty and dirty. There's...

Does anyone know a source for the rubber bungee that screws into the gunnel rod holders? This holds the rods into the racks.

I was just participating in another post with livewell questions and reminded me to ask this question I've been thinking about. I would like to remove my livewell and spray Good Stuff type insulation on the bottom and sides of the livewell to keep ice longer. We use this as a cooler when we...

Does anyone know the approximate thickness of the gunnel on a '00 Seafarer? I'm getting ready to install outrigger base and want to make sure my hole saw is deep enough to cut on the angle. thanks

The spring dolphin bite has been phenomenal but unfortunately the weather hasn't been. I think the wind has blown for the past six weeks. However, the weather gods smiled on us the last few days and I was able to get out two different days. The bite had slowed some from earlier but we managed...

Looking for some thoughts on how best to replace the clear liner that envelopes the foam on the fish box cushions. Mine have both torn loose from the foam and it acts as a huge sponge when it gets wet. I've removed the foam and squeezed as much water as I could from the foam and let them dry...

I'm looking for some pros and cons of using these outriggers with a Seafarer with a hardtop. I spoke with GW customer service and this type outrigger was all they would recommend for this particular model. I don't want to make a lot of modifications to the t-top and seems that would be...
