    Installing a boat table

    Gotcha. If you have access behind mounting location you could always put a backer plate on the inside to spread the load.

    228 Seafarer upgrades questions. MFDs - 2 9s? 1 12" or 16"? Auto-deploy trolling motor and shaft length?

    I'll give ya my take on the depth finder question. When I first got my 228, I installed 2 - 7" Lowrance units inside my e-box, they worked ok, but the size was hard to see sometimes and had issues that I never could resolve with them powering up. Got frustrated on one of my fishing trips to SC...

    Carry an Extra Propeller ?

    When I vacation down in Florida, be it around Tampa or the Keys, I have a spare prop with me, although it's in the truck. I figure if something happens I can call TowBoat US and get back to the ramp and change out. At least I don't have to buy one when I'm down there.

    First boat

    Boats go on the market year round. You have to stay vigilant if you're looking for a specific model. If a well priced, clean example of the boat you're looking for pops up, chances are, it will be gone before you see it if you just check "For Sale" sites every now and then. There may be others...

    2004 GW Gulfstream Outrigger Mod (or deletion)

    I had gunnel mount outriggers on my 228 when I bought it. Used them a couple of time and didn't really care for the lack of a good spread that they gave me, more of a 45° off my gunnel instead of a 90°. Removed those and went with hardtop outriggers and installed the plates underneath. Much...

    Who makes the rocker switch covers?

    Another vote for New Wire. If I redo my switch panel, they will be getting my business.

    Live well ball valve on a 228

    3-4 year old post. But that's what you'll need if yours are rusted off or seized shut. I replaced mine a few years back, the rods were good but the handles for seacocks were rusted off. You will stand on your head going into the bilge after them. The pics of that bilge at the first of this...

    What year is this Yamaha Outboard?

    I did ask about the "C" below the serial number and they said it has no bearing on the age. It's all in the serial numbers now after 2005. Just called and talked with my dealer again about this motor. Only past issues that are showing up on Yamaha warranty side was a lower unit replaced in '14...

    2006 Marlin Express for Sale - $129,999

    The Marlin and Express are two different boats. Need clarification on which one you are trying to sell. Location and pictures will help as well.

    What year is this Yamaha Outboard?

    The 3.3 F250 is like the old 289-302 Ford motor,,,, dependable and couldn't kill them. Is there any way you can find out why it was rebuilt? 2011-2012 is a young motor to be rebuilt. I'd be curious. And I agree,,,there has to be a story behind it. During my 2 year wait for my new 4.2, there...

    What year is this Yamaha Outboard?

    PNW,, you'll enjoy the extra umph that the F250 will give you. A F250 on our 228's is really the ideal motor for them. It feels effortless when running the boat now, unlike the struggle I felt when running the F225. Good luck with the purchase if you go forward with it.
