    Some Basics on Winterizing a 228?

    Your freshwater fill should be next to the rod holders, on the front of the transom livewell. Should be a silver cap.

    Pop over to THT and either open a thread or send a PM to "Tabman". He is the reason for the legendary customer service.

    Scupper flap source?

    I've had good luck with the TH Marine ones...and the pack with all the extras is still less expensive then buying just the ones you need from the GW dealer.

    Ringfree

    Domo is the deal. Me and fellow GG member jjp40 split a case every year. Two bottles will last me most of the season. He orders it and as I recall gets it within a couple of days via UPS Ground.

    Dual Battery Switch on Adventure 208

    Run on "1" only...get battery "2" checked, and if it's dead, replace it. Don't take a chance on getting stuck.

    Mystery bracket - help please!

    Definitely a slide in ladder...and definitely not factory GW. From the factory, you would have a swim platform with folding ladder.

    Some Basics on Winterizing a 228?

    Don't fill the tank. Treat with Sta-Bil, PRI-G, etc.... In the spring fill it with fresh fuel and then run everything through it. Batteries should come out unless you want to cut a seam in the shrink wrap. You want to charge them once a month. Remove cushions. Open hatches to air out...

    I'm guessing the boat is on the trailer by now and you are headed west? Any updated pictures?

    Buff Magic

    I've had good luck with Buff Magic, but you have to follow the instructions and work in small areas. Never tried the Pro Polish.

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    I too dealt with Trailer Depot of Miami on a Continental some years back. They are good people. I'm curious...did you rent a truck in Miami or did you also buy a truck there, as well?

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    I thought the weight might be light too, so I pulled up a 1994 brochure just to see. The 244 Explorer weighs 3400 dry or 3600 if it's got the bracket...add 500 for the motor and worst case another 1000 for fuel if it has both tanks. Even with a hardtop and gear you are probably in the...
