Great thanks guys. I put a gallon on rv antifreeze in fresh water tank. Then ran it through sink and spray hose. I'll disconnect hose end and run some antifreeze down there. Question on fogging: Do you use the fogging oil / gas mixture OR just pull plugs and spray cylinders OR both? I can...

I have a 2006 Yamaha 225 4 stroke and a few questions: 1=Can I use the fogging oil mixed with gas to fog the engine OR should I use the spray fogging oil near the intake? 2- Flushing the fresh water (Sink/Washdown} I was thinking of using RV anti freeze and running both the sink and wash down...

Big Cats? What was the bait for those monsters?

A little catfish.

So I tried to make my own hydraulic hose attachment to drain and refill/bleed the Sea Star steering piston. A word of advice: BUY the Kit! I had oil everywhere, couldn't tighten the hose, it was just a mess. I ordered the Bubble Purge kit and will be doing it again this weekend. The shaft is in...

I pulled my 226 a few weeks ago, working on replacing the Seastar steering seals now. Going to try and get her out in the Long Island sound once or twice for Taug. What do you guys do to winterize?

I didn't see anywhere that the bulk head connections were attached. They go through a chase at the stern then come out under the helm from the chase up to the steering wheel.

I'm going to order the lines for an off season replacement. I'm trying to get out and trailer it to the LI Sound via Norwalk for Tautog fishing once or twice, before I winterize it.

I am a pretty good do it your selfer always up for a little challenge, looking at the seal replacement seems straight forward, the question would be: Is the hose line from bleeder to bleeder under pressure OR can I just zip tie a hose to it?

I'm going to carry a quart of hydraulic oil with me. The lines are original I think so I probably should change them. 13 years old.

So i am going from the marina to the public launch to trailer the Salty Dog so I can take it to Long Island fishing when I get a chance and get it out of the yacht club for the season. My friend helps me pulling out of the slip at the Newburgh Yacht Club by pushing the stern outward, while I...

Hudson River boy here. Newburgh Area. Going to start to trailer it to the fishing grounds on the Sound this month.

Nice job, but let me ask this while we are talking about that window. On my 228 the plastic rod that hold it open is broken. Where can I get one of those?

Not too bad, when I get her back on the trailer I'll update this thread.

226, Bimini. I'm going to pull it from the slip soon to access the fishing grounds a bit quicker. When I do I'll weigh it at our local County station.

Cool I have a 30 footer!

Anybody ever weigh a Seafarer loaded with fuel on a dual axle trailer?

It was crazy how it just stalled right over the island.

Lt Mike, I have bunks for mine. I replaced the wood and carpet this year (simple job), loads easy and floats off nice. Never have to worry about rolling off. One of my fenders is rusted bad, will replace both soon. Also did a brake controller this year, just have to bleed them a little better...

Here's the numbers on my prop. 2006 228. Yamaha 225 It's a Yamaha Salt Water Series. Not sure of all the performance numbers yet.
