So I tried to turn the pump from the back with a slotted screw driver but it wouldn’t move so I removed it from the boat and yes it is seized solid so will buy a new one. I see they sell in Washington state on Amazon but will try to source locally here in BC Canada first. One thing I did notice...

Great will try that as well thank you

Hmmm I could try to connect to the pump directly, I guess I could bring a separate battery onto the boat and just connect the black and red wires with extensions to the battery, I’ll try tomorrow and let you know, thank you

Well I got a chance to check for power and got a big spark when I connected the red wires and hit the flush button but no noise at the pump, can I assume that I need a new pump? My circuit breaker says 25 AMPERE on it, they seem hard to find in that range I guess again that I want to replace...

Hello I hope everyone is well and safe during this Covid pandemic. I’m working through my To Do list on my Project Grady and need advice on the toilet as I have never had a toilet in a boat before only my camper. I will attach some photos of what it currently looks like in my boat. There is a...

Thanks, mine is definately the old school outboard DF250

Awesome thank you for this information! What an awesome website!

Do you guys know if Ken has an email address? I tried to see on his website but can’t seem to find one, thanks.

Awesome, I would like to stay with a 4 blade if I can, thanks for your experience

Ok I will give Ken a call, I will search for his contact information on the web, thank you

Interestingly enough the Suzuki came off a 2550 Pursuit where the guide podded and repowered with twin Yamaha 150’s without ever putting the boat in the water, he felt the single 250 was underpowered for some reason for the Pursuit. I will give the Suzuki dealer a call to see what they...

I just got a reply from a buddy with the same boat and motor setup, his prop is a 16 x18 pitch 3 blade stainless and it seems to work great for him

Thanks for the advice, I know it’s not an exact science between the a Yamaha and Suzuki’s

I had my new to me “Project” 1999 228G Seafarer in the water for the first time this weekend testing the 2012 DF250 Suzuki that I bought with 200 hrs on it. The prop that came with the motor is a four blade stainless 18 pitch by 14 3/8 Michigan Wheel Apollo. I ended up hitting the Rev limit as...

I worked on removing the cuddy bolsters yesterday and did manage to get all of the screws out except for one that I had to cut with a hacksaw blade after loosening it about a 1/4 of an inch. There were 7 on one side and 6 on the other and then strange enough 3 screws in the short front bolster...

Interesting I just wanted to clean behind them but maybe I’ll try to unscrew them first before I try to tear them off thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove those cabin bolster without breaking them? I have a new to me 228G Seafarer and I can’t seem to determine if they are screwed on or just pressure fitted somehow, thanks.

Awesome thank you guys very much appreciated!

Hello I’ve been working on my new to me 228G Seafarer and removed the floor panels to access and inspect and clean the water and fuel tank Compartments. I spent about 2 hours scraping and cleaning the old Sikaflex off. I realize that the floor panels need to be sealed for the majority of water...

That black cable is my P66 Airmar transducer wire that I just installed. I bought a HDS 12 Live over Christmas, just trying to decide where to install it, I might put it up high so I can see it from the back of the boat or modify the electronics box down low
