I don't know your application so can't really comment if it will work. You have to take into account several things, like load fuel and where you are using the boat. From my experience owning two 228's one with soft top and 250 Merc optimax and the current 228 with 4.2lt 250 Yamaha, I wouldn't...

I used rollers for many years until 12 years ago . I'm on my third boat since all on bunks, never go back to rollers . I use slides on the bunks when I get to the ramp I unhook the boat then reverse a bit more truck still on dry concrete touch the brakes and the boat is off, buddy in the boat...

I use sika marine grade 291 but you will have to cut the sealant if you want to remove it at a later stage.

If you just want to adjust the bunks a bit higher it can be done very easy with the boat on the trailer. I have done it several times this is how I would do it. Decide how much you want to lift the bunks you say one or two inches, using a small jack on the I beam or on the ground ( hard ,like...

Thanks for the pictures and advice Doc. Looks like there is enough room there for the pump , that was my concern. I remember from my old boat being very busy in there. I'm ok installing the computer in the cab if I have to. I'm going to keep it on the starboard side as well to keep cables neat...

I had both, rollers good for launching bunks for trailering. Bunks with slides good for both .

Good work KY , you will not regret installing a new one. Extra $$ but after a while you forget about the cost.

Thanks Doc, I would very much appreciate pictures especially if they are from a 226/228. Is there enough room for the pump there? Obviously that's the best pace very close the helm so I don't need extension hoses. Does the computer need to be away from electrical current? Heading sensor should...

I'm looking to install a Simrad AP44 auto pilot on my 228 Seafarer . If anyone on the forum has one not necessary Simrad , I would like to know where did you fit the pump and or computer. Any advice on what to look for is welcome.

Check the plugs to make sure they make contact before doing anything else.

Mine came with a Yamaha 17" pitch nut I have lower ratio gearcase 1.75. I thought 3.3 lt has 2.0 gears. 17" in my boat seems about right as I'm getting close to max RPM range. I'm going to try a different prop, I have Mercury Enertia, 17 and 18, I will try them both. In my old boat I found the...

I would be inclined to fit a new helm KY unless I new the guys that did the rebuild or I done it myself . If I was in USA I could sell you a brand new tilt helm, probably same price as a rebuilt, that I bought a few years ago when I was in UK and our $ was very high. I bought it just in case...

Mine has the soft rubber button on the port side of the control but I have digital controls. Yours will have something that will enable you to rev the engine in neutral. If you still van't find it google Yamaha operators manual if you don't have one.

I have a 4.2 250 hp , I get about 46.5 mph @5900 rpm running Yamaha 17" pitch prop motor is on the second hole. This is speed on GPS on flat water, clean bottom boat, hardtop 350 lts fuel ( 92 gal) . I think your engine would have 2.0 gear case and as you are getting over 6000 RPM you could go...

Acetone will work 100% but all the above will to some degree as well

I mine is HC5358 same as the old boat, I have a HC5345 in my shed, the cylinders look the same , the mounting bracket is a little different .

All boats are sensitive to lean when out of the water on full plane . Have you tried turning around and going backwards to see if the lean changes to port or even not leaning at all? I find in open sea with currents she will lean on either side depending on current/wind. If she always leans on...

That's the very pump O had in my old boat as well Seasick. Like you said livewell pump is different to washdown. For livewells you need more volume and not high pressure as well as long duty pump . The other advantage with the rule pump you don't need the pump on when underway because the water...

You can use this pump, it has a second outlet for your washdown pump. Screws on the through hull one outlet goes to your livewell , this pump is ideal for livewells, the other outlet you can run a hose to your washdown pump. So you have one through hull and two pumps . My old 228 only had one...
