A wise man once told me when it comes to your wife. “When I wake up in the morning I asked myself do I want to be happy or do I want to be right. “ Sounds like you need to move on from the Marlin and get what the wife wants.

I wouldn’t reward Yamaha by buying another one of their engines after having this on a 200 hour engine. THey knew they had an issue and didn’t stand by their product. Cost me $2700 bucks to fix mine with 900 hours.

Yes about 130 all in not including if I trade my Seafarer in or not.

Just got the quote for the new 236, 113,648 plus 8-10k for electronics and another 3-5 for a new trailer.

My 2003 226 with a f225 has a 15.5x17 SSII

I think I am going get new electronics and cushions etc. I think the cockpit on the seafarer and the fact I can completely enclose the helm for colder weather or snotty seas makes it a keeper. I put some money into already and I can take the bulk of what I make from the sale and buy a house in...

I have a 2003 Seafarer 226 which I really like, but I have been eyeing the Fisherman 236. Went and looked at one today and they are really nice and most of what I do is fish don't use the cabin on the Seafarer but for storage. I do like the full enclosure of the Seafarer where the Fisherman...

I have a 226 and would love to jump up to a little bigger boat but not sure I want a Marlin yet. A 26-27 foot walk around would be really nice.

I feel your pain. When I first got my Seafarer I was so nervous every time I docked my boat. Over time I learned to relax and go slowly like seasick states in and out of gear to control the boat and do not give a lot of throttle either way. Biggest thing is don't panic if you don't get it right...

I am now wondering if it the connection to the battery cable in the battery switch?

Still can't find the fuse or the issue for the float switch. I have looked at the helm fuse block and the 5 amp fuses look good. There is a 4 amp in off the baterry switch that also looks good. Scratching my head at this point.

I will do the same if I figure it out.

I did have a sure bail but now they are rule switches. I have yet to figure out the forward switch. There is no power to the switch but the pump runs from the rocker switch. I have three inline fuses off the battery switch and all seem to be in good condition. Not sure where to look at this point.

I replaced the fuse and the float switch activates the pump in the stern of the boat. The float switch in the cabin does not activate so I am probably going to say that one is shot. Has anyone ever had to change it? How without rubber arms and tiny hands are you able to get tools or access...

2003 Seafarer 226 I have two bilge pumps for my 226 both work when activated manually via the rocker switches but the auto float switches don't activate the pumps. I bought a new float switches and when installing them in the bilge nothing happens. If I take the wires and hook three of them...

The wood that came off was 1/2 inch and in little squares. I believe he used 1/2 as well but said it was a little thicker than 1/2. The nice part is the plywood is one piece so hopefully stronger.

My seafarer had this issue and I just had it fixed. The main cover over the gas tank was sagging when I walked on it. When I took it off the fiberglass was not attached at all on one side and the core was wet and rotted. Had a fiberglass guy put in a one piece section of plywood and glassed it...

So I went to West marine and bought all the materials I needed, I then received a call from a fiberglass pro and for a little more money from what I already spent he is going to do the job. Would rather have it done right and wait a week or two for it to get done than me do it and mess it up...

Two questions. 1) what is the best to use to glue the plywood to the decking and 2) should I put the resin on all sides of the plywood?

OK, so I have the fiberglass and the core removed and I am ready to start this because no one calls you back. I guess they are all busy yes I know this is a winter project but..... Get plywood (don't have time to wait for foam.) scuff up the surface for the core to adhere to. Cut the squares...
