    T8 tilt problems

    I actually ran the kicker battery cables directly to a battery (always has power). I think I may change that when I reinstall.

    T8 tilt problems

    The electric motor is fried. Mechanics going to order me a new one on Monday. He's paying for the part and I'll install it. Picture is not very clear but it's toasted inside, but it didn't appear to have leaked so I don't know what would cause it accept a manufacture defect?

    T8 tilt problems

    Yes I unhooked from the relay and jumped from a battery, the motor made a noise when I touch the "up" lead then nothing. had to be a faulty motor? I don't see how it could have died so fast.

    T8 tilt problems

    I had the tilt motor replaced last year on my Yamaha T8, 7 month's later, 6 fishing trips and I used the kicker on two of those trips, it's stopped working. I tested the relay and it's not that. The certified Yamaha shop that did my work is a one man "owner" operated shop and he's not exactly...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    My last boat I had a 6" and I always thought I was still missing boats that were close to me? It may be higher then needed seems a lot of boats out here in the PNW have radar on the tall side. I fish a lot in fog with no visibility so I really want the radar to perform best it can. It hasn't...

    Wanted: Seafarer 228 in SoCal

    Ha! I thought it was $30,000 I just went back and saw the real price. Like you said, no electronics no kicker or any fishing equipment. Seems way to high to me. Good luck

    Wanted: Seafarer 228 in SoCal

    Looks to be a clean boat with low hours, but I understand the frustration when you get a Ahole salesman.

    I added a cabover to my toys

    I used a Torklift super hitch with a 32" extension. I need to put some air bags on the truck. It squats to low when I hook up the boat. I haven't went to a scale yet to check my tongue weight. Pulling is very easy, boat ramps are a little weird as far as backing down. The downsizing takes a lot...

    I added a cabover to my toys

    Talked the wife into downsizing, we sold our 33’ Montana 5th wheel and bought a lance cabover. Now I don’t have to leave the boat at home when we camp.

    Wanted: Seafarer 228 in SoCal

    Bought my 1999 228 in North Carolina last June, after looking for almost a year. Had it surveyed, bought it and had a shipper from uship bring it to Ca. It's the best way to buy a 228 on the west coast in my opinion.
