Seafarer all day long …

I have Suzuki’s now but ran Yamaha‘s for over 20 years, I always fill the new fuel/water separator filter and clear bowl with fresh fuel before I install it back on the plate/bracket. That way I can check for leaks right away.

Pictures?

Here’s the picture off the outer Bajo Reef whistle buoy off Nootka Sound taken last summer

As Doug228 mentioned most people drive to the mouth of the Gold River on pavement to launch their boats and then run for 40 minutes at 31 mph due west out Muchalat Inlet to Nootka Sound. We stay at a float cabin in 3 bay cove just behind camel rock. The Sound is a great place to fish in itself...

Hi Steve, I just use common sense and run during the slack tide when out in those tricky areas north of Campbell River like Seymour Narrows where it seems like half of the Pacific Ocean funnels through a 400 yard space. Most of the east coast of Vancouver Island south of Campbell River is fairly...

Their arrival in Nootka may be perfect timing for the arrival of the famous Conuma River chinook run. The springs were very spotty for us on the inside last week, I hope they do well. There are lots of WN registered boats in Nootka waters over the summer.

Time will tell regarding this new 218 design but a little voice keeps reminding me that even smart people can make bad decisions in regards to dropping the 208, 226 and 228 models in favour of the 218. My 228 will be passed on to my kids and grand kids so it will be around for a long time.

Hey Trapper, it’s great to hear good fishing reports for the local area around the Comox Valley, I haven’t wetted a line locally yet as I‘ve been busy completing and painting the new (boat) shop that I built this year but hopefully the 2 spring limit will kick in August 1st

Great to hear you have been successful with your Seafarer, we just got back from Nootka Sound with limits of coho and a few springs. We live in a great part of the world where we can catch dinner.

Awesome use of extra space not normally used for anything, a great idea

Are they from the factory?

Well this is an interesting thread, I have had my Seafarer for a couple years and always wondered what the tracks were for that run the full length under the hard top. Is the track for some sort of winter/travel cover to protect the canvas?

Hmmm thanks for the advice, there is a ship yard north of me, I think I will get a quote from them when I’m ready to move ahead with removing the anti fouling paint.

I originally looked at a 208 as an upgrade to my Campion 542 that I had. My office was beside a large marina so I would walk the docks at lunch and drool at the various Grady White boats. I soon started looking for a 248 Voyaguer after fishing on one on the West Coast of the island, I was blown...

How hard was it to remove the bottom paint? It’s something I would like to do to my Seafarer in the next few years, thanks.

You’re welcome

Here’s where mine are located on my Seafarer, I fish all around Vancouver Island.

From my experience with my 1999 228 Seafarer, all those panels come out to gain access behind. I would start by removing the screws in those small panels first and then you should see other brackets to remove the main panel. Keep in mind that it all went together at the factory after all the...
