Buy your batteries at Walmart, Sam’s, or Costco, and buy a voltage meter from Harbor freight. This one has been posted here before, and will do everything that you need it to, and you shouldn’t come out of the store with less than three of them. Not because they malfunction, but because it will...

It always sounds like it is said with great confidence, but how many of you would actually let every 200+ pounder who came to look at your boat for sale, stand on the lower unit and bounce up and down?

Chapin is central SC, about 130 miles from Charleston, on the north shore of Lake Murray, so it could be a freshwater lake boat. Not that that justifies the price.

Is this what you have in mind? The mooring cover gets a lot more complicated if you have a hard top frame to work around. If I were going to have one made, I would want a local shop to make the cover and install it, including the snaps. Snap studs on the boat first, and snap sockets on the...

If you put $20,000 into upgrades, then you are probably going to keep the boat a few more years, or until it starts looking tired again. At which point you will not get your money back from the upgrades, much less any profit. The question should be, “Am I going to get $20,000 worth of enjoyment...

Check the orange wire that jumps from switch the switch.

Some are archived on the GW site. This seems to be the earliest Seafarer manual available there. Some things will be useful. https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/22256/1996-226_228.pdf

35 hours a year since the re-power, so maybe 50 hours a year when it was his new toy. Low hours overall. So where was the boat stored in the meantime, high and dry, or out in the weather? What is the condition of the cushions and the enclosure? If it has the euro transom, the chances of a bad...

I don’t know what you have in mind for your next boat, let’s say a 20 year old boat. Rather than looking for a boat needing a re-power, you might consider looking for a 20 year old boat with a good running original engine, or an older re-power, hopefully a four stroke in either case. Put that...

You give up all PP protection with F&F. Offer to pay the 3% fee, and if they refuse, it is probably a well known scam. What is this “member’s” history, join date, number of posts,etc?

Jacking the trailer all the way up will not usually be enough to clear those mid, and forward bilge areas. Assuming that your PVC drain pipes, and limber holes through the stringers are clear, parking on a steep ramp for a few minutes will get most of the water out of those areas, in many boats...

Odds are that the original engine was a Yamaha, so an original shifter would say something like Yamaha 704 right on it. Re-powering with a different brand of engine normally includes a matching shifter. What do you have?

This doesn’t answer your original question, but the answer to the underlying problem may be to install a “spot lock” trolling motor, rather than a windlass. Rhodan or Minnkota Terova seems to be the preferred choice. I don’t know anyone who is still dropping anchor when they have a choice...

I will never use wire wrapped hose for a drain again. I think that the wire rusting and swelling is what causes the deterioration of the hose. I see no need for it on a gravity drain, with no pressure, and no heat.

Go ahead and post the schematics, it may help someone doing a search in the future.

The OP has not mentioned personally towing the boat on this trailer, only that it arrived from Florida, behind a professional delivery driver who could have been driving anything from a Ford to a Freightliner, as far as we know. That vehicle probably had a higher tolerance for variables, such as...
