    Free Decals to a Good Home

    You can also get the domed ones that are a virtual match for the OEM ones on eBay...seller is Dago Fabrication. $189 USD and the color and font match perfectly. The only reason it's not an "exact" match is his sizing is about 1/2" off. If you buff out the ghosting before you apply the new...

    Freedom 235 towing capacity

    Enterprise has a commercial division. They rent all sizes (1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton) and towing is OK. Biggest question may be if there is a Commercial division location in your city. Regular Enterprise - and all the “car rental” companies frown on towing. Another option is a local rental of a...

    30A Fuse not hooked up

    Does it start OK when you pull the manual choke lever? If so, then the solenoid that engages the choke might be the issue. I had a late 90s carb'ed 150 that had the same issue.

    Freedom 235 towing capacity

    If the boat is only going to be towed 2-3X a year, consider renting a pickup from Enterprise's Commercial division. Unless you have a need to park another vehicle in your driveway.....

    228 Windlass install completed.

    Can you put the bolt almost under the first or second link of the chain, and washer and nut it from underneath the pulpit?

    Freedom 235 towing capacity

    A 7K trailer will have a net capacity of 5900-6000. It’s built with (2) 3500 lb axles. The trailer itself will weigh around 1000 lbs...maybe a bit less if they use 5.5” I-Beams. The 8600 lb capacity will have 5200 lb axles with 6 lug wheels. The trailer will weigh 15-1600 lbs. You will need...

    228 Windlass install completed.

    Mines got a safety hook that connects to the chain to keep it from deploying if the windlass were to fail. Might be worth thinking about......

    Freedom 235 towing capacity

    You are going to be above 7K and I’m guessing that boat goes on an 8600 capacity trailer. A max tow 1/2 ton will do it. Something like an F150 with a 3.5 EB.

    Replacing laminated cover under steering wheel

    I made one out of 3/4” Starboard in the off white color. Works perfectly.

    Recent 228 and pressure washer OK?

    You will be fine on the gelcoat. Just take your cushions off. You can destroy them in a hurry. If you have bolsters be careful around them too.

    Compass oil

    You can reach out to Ritchie and they will connect you with a nearby service center. For about $100 they will completely recondition it, including the lens. That said, I had mine out and ready to ship when I came across a brand new one on eBay for a few bucks more. I did have to buy a $16...
