I don't know what "at part to connect to the rear top" means, but I think you're saying that at the top/center portion of the curtain there are female DOT sockets... but you don't see any male DOT studs in the vicinity? Do you need them? Could the studs be on another portion of the curtain to...

Chris, you might be best served to reach out (either phone or email) to Ameritool directly. Might as well go right to the source. Tell them what you have and they can tell you if it's still an active part number or what the replacement is. They may even be able to give you a retailer in your...

I think I have some of those once in awhile, too... but to be honest, I don't remember.

Looks REALLY nice! Marcus, yes Starboard (a "brand" name) is simply HDPE. Same as a plastic cutting board, actually. Comes in many flavors.

8 holes? No big deal - you effectively made the plate lighter so it will help save some fuel ;) You've really been making that 228 a full-on custom boat!

Oh, sure, I get it. When someone hasn't had much experience with things there's always some apprehension. That's why looking in the installation directions is good - I did my first tab install when I was about 19 and all I had were those things printed in black on white paper ;) And...

I think that's an interesting idea with storing the rope on the front hardtop legs. Very thoughtful, actually! I agree with the above though - watch the angle of the vertical "L"... you don't want to fall on that! And, probably would be good to make it out of 2" tubing with a rounded top...

Screws are a different than thru-bolts. Unless you screw up and use extra long screws for some reason, how WOULD they go through the transom? And, truthfully, why would that matter? It really doesn't. Don't get caught in the never-ending game of internet research - read the manufacturers...

I've used and installed both. Does that count? Not on his model, but the function of tabs on their boat is the same - it's just physics. Actually it's even simpler - it's like 2+2. As far as your mounting comment - I suppose. But, really, this is also an easy-peasy thing - you simply put it...

Hydraulic tabs can be screwed in. But whether it's screws or bolts, the core can still be compromised if not done correctly... or remain perfectly fine if done properly. Are you basing your info on youtube/etc? Or using the instructions provided by the manufacturer?

I hear 'ya, but I think you're still missing the point... or maybe don't yet fully understand the installation process? Regardless of "style" of tab, you still need to secure it to the transom. Whether by screws or thru-bolts is relatively inconsequential to the integrity of the transom. And...

Whether it's a hole for the wires or a hole for the small hyrdraulic line... it's still a hole. And, done properly, is a complete non issue so it's kind of a moot point. As long as you do a proper install, it''ll be all good. I like hydraulic because of the reliability factor. I'm curious...

This is why pics are important - or good descriptions with proper terminology. As mentioned above, that's a reducer fitting, not a plug within a plug. A normal garboard drain plug, made of bronze, should work. But at this point, you bought something that works. Is it bronze? I hope so...

Looks like a nice cover at a very fair price!

Look local - good for the economy and also if you have an issue. There has to got to be plenty of trailer retailers near you in that area. Technically, you should have brakes on it (on both axles if you go with a tandem). But with the way you are going to use it... honestly, they're only...

Try again but don't worry about what the trim gauge is saying. The proper way is to keep trimming (calm day) till speed no longer increases or the prop starts to ventilate. THAT is your max RPM. Once you have that, then you can start making a better decision.

Yes, if you go to GW's site, you can download the owner's manual. You'll at least find wire colors and their associated accessory as wire colors are mostly standardized for the common accessories. There are often basic diagrams, as well. If you don't see your specific model, just look in...

Although I should add... I distinctly remembering using it the first couple of times and wondering whether or not I could trust HF's "rating" o_O If memory serves, the actual first time... I turned it on and immediately ran away for a couple of minutes :D

I think that's the same one I have and used it for gas. Slow, but good enough for $13 and occasional use. You can lengthen the "tube" that goes into the tank with some tight fitting hose if needed.

It sounds like you still physically have them? Any local upholsterer can do this. Typically a boat dealer will have some suggestions as it's a common question to have asked of them. Check RV dealers, too, for a suggestion. And, of course, Google.
