    Gas tank deck cap

    Yes the removable section of the floor. So what I have been reading and not knowing much it looks like there is a layer of glass on the skin then plywood and another layer of glass and all that has to come off first?

    My seafarer 226 deck cap is sagging and feels like a sponge the rest of the deck is solid. I have to have it repaired, how hard a job is this and can I do it myself(no experience) or have a pro do it. Not knowing what it entails to do this has anyone had this done or done it themselves? What...

    2003 Seafarer

    Think about selling my 226. It has a hardtop, Raymarine radar, Garmin gps/fish finder and radio. Just did the dry exhaust and 1000 hour tune up. Replaced the oil pump while the head was off and new throttle cables installed. It needs new stripes, cushions and curtains and some work in the gel...

    On the fence- buying a 180, boat show price ends today

    I was in the same situation as you. Went to a boat show and was all set with a fisherman 209. Thought I had plenty of time until the pressure sales started. Had to order the boat by next weekend he said. I decided to keep my 226 and do some work on the engine instead. If I were you I would...

    Trailer brakes and actuator

    Can't get a brake with this trailer. All brake lines on axles have been replaced but the main feed which I didn't replace is leaking. Thinking of just running the line down the tongue and then run it down the inside of the frame back to the fitting. Don't know if snaking it through the three...

    Trailer brakes and actuator

    I ended up replacing the actuator with the same Titan 6000. The holes lined up and install was a breeze. Now I have to run brake lines. Should be interesting as I have never done this.

    Trailer brakes and actuator

    I just replaced my rusty old hubs, rotors etc with new Tie Down brakes. Now looking at the master cylinder inside the reservoir there is rusty flaky stuff and I am sure the lock out reverse selenoid is shot. The actuator has some rust on it but still functions. Should I just replace the master...

    Very happy with my seafarer

    Well over the winter I had quite a bit of work done on my Yamaha 225. I replaced the dry exhaust, oil pump, timing belt and throttle cables amoung other things. Prior to this work I was thinking I was under proped due to the fact I could get no more than 5200 rpm at wot. Took it out yesterday...

    Gelcoat

    My seafarer is dual on the side I dock my boat most from the fenders rubbing and a couple times bumping the dock. Also some little scratches. What compound/gelcoat is best on a Grady to restore the shine?

    Fisherman 209 owners

    I am looking to down size to this boat from my 226, want a center console and a lighter boat to make it easier to tow if I don't rely on a marina. Does anyone have any thoughts on this boat, anyone ever done a sea trail etc?
