I just installed one, and something is indeed off with yours. If you keep or can get your boat out of the water, you can open up the seacock and let everything drain then close it and if it happens again after that, sounds like your valve is leaking even when shut.

Yep and get a high thrust 9.9

Stunning!!

Beautiful Willy!! One bad ass journey. Those Steelhead are amazing~

Plus one.

I tow short distances at high speeds because of where I am located, and there are plenty of bugs too. It's ok as far as structural integrity, but the bug juice permanently etched the front sections of the isinglass. Had I known, I might have cleaned it more often, but it's not too bad. This is...

My plastic bowl fell off twice with gas in it during the last year. Probably over tightened it. But not a good feeling at all.

Nice boat!! Used to live on Munjoy Hill and paint houses when I attended UMO. 2 Things I miss about Portland :) 1) Going down to the Old Port Friday and Saturday nights (age appropriate LOL). 2) Amato's Italian sammies.

Hi kdnuezil, Florida Marine Tanks are still in business. I got a quote from them last summer when I replaced my 33 year old tank. They are proud of their work, I saved nearly 50% by using Patriot Marine in New Jersey to fabricate my tank instead. Grady White customer service will e mail you...

I was thinking about the inboard option on that year as well. It was available from Grady. Since the fuel separator in the bilge seems more of a danger, I am not going to sweat it.

Thanks Pighunter, Good to know!

Danger Will Robinson? I never took the time to read this label under my rear center live well lid. My boat is an '87 228. I put in new fuel hoses last summer, when the rear deck plate was off, I don't recall any off center starboard location for the gas tank drain plug the warning label is...

Over the rail and in the pail. No monsters, but a 2 fish limit. 18 & 20" Mackinaw. #dinner

Thanks for your tips Doc. I really appreciate the advice!

One of my favorite trips was to Anthens, Ios, and Santorini. Welcome aboard!!

Venture Boat Trailer. My experience with that manufacturer was certainly an Ad-Venture, and not in a good way. Hopefully Smoky has better luck than I did o_O

Not a problem! I also filled up on gas in Nevada before parking it in California for the summer. Fuel is $1.00 more expensive across the border because of taxes. You can handle the hills if its quicker, just get one with a tow package feature, if not standard. And yes, all trucks have become...

Hello Hutchy, I'll jump in and get this going... I have a Ram EcoDiesel 1500 that is powered by a V6 with an 8,610 lb towing capacity. I tow my 228 in the mountains in Nevada/California, and go from 4,500' to 8,600' elevations in a quick manner, and my truck can dish it out because of the...

Patrick, You will want to replace the tank with a new aluminum. If it's leaking, then trying a band aid fix isn't a good long term solution. The soft wood on the bulkhead probably means the deck plate above is leaking. I'm not familiar with your model, but you should encase the new bulkhead with...

Yep, left mine out once too Seasick, it's kinda like a defining moment in a boater's life. Boat launched solo, tied up to dock and wondering why all that water is gushing out the thru hull. The good news is it won't happen again anytime soon. Enjoy your summer, I definitely am brain dead...
