    Fresh Water Reservoir

    I'm familiar with your boat but I think you will find the tank is at the back of the boat and may not be very easy to remove as it is 32 gal i believe . You should be able to take off the two 6" inspection plates so you can see it. The pump should be on the starboard side under the seat again...

    Fresh Water Reservoir

    The fact that water comes out of the shower means that the pump works. I would say you have crap in the tank and the lines . I would take the line out of the tank undo the shower and the other faucets and blow the lines with compressed air. If you have a lot of rubbish in the tank the only way...

    Lenco conversion kit

    I have Lanco tabs on my 228, they work great. When I bought the boat she didn't have any trim tabs, Lanco electric are much cheaper and easier to fit.

    A decade on my 228

    Not quite a decade but I enjoyed mine for 7 years now . The boat suits my needs exactly, small enough to trailer up and down the coast from Sydney and big enough for fishing over the continental shelf up to 35 knots offshore in the sometimes very rough Pacific chasing marlin. I love the boat so...

    Adventure 208 helm setup.

    Same as without cover on, they have cutouts . I know the guy that owns this boat we are both Sydney game fishing club members, that boat is just kike brand new hence the high asking price.

    Disassemble Yamaha Cowling?

    It should be bolted on from underneath. Not sure on that model but have seen it on other old 2 stroke Yamahas.

    Engine bracket removal on seafarer 228

    I found the boat for sale on the net , then engaged a surveyor to inspect and report. I bought several boats from USA before this . If it was on the west coast I would fly over but I can never find anything on the west.

    I fish at Bermi when the bluefin are on, last year we got them in Bermi and Sydney. Look out for me this winter in you go up. I know another guy from Melbourne fishes Bermi with 228 . I bought a 2013, 228G hardtop in FL, she will be leaving Jacksonville tomorrow . She will replace my current...

    Engine bracket removal on seafarer 228

    If that's the case weight doesn't come in to it. I never seen on of these brackets break, even the finish on them is excellent. I'm in Sydney , where are you at? Do you have a hardtop? You are going to have to remove the live well to install the new bracket even if the nuts are on the outside...

    Engine bracket removal on seafarer 228

    These brackets are very well made, I wonder if the extra weight of the Honda contributed to it. Looks like you have an old 228 originally fitted with a much lighter 2 stroke, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Engine bracket removal on seafarer 228

    Wow, lucky you still got the outboard there! On mine nuts are behind the livewell.

    Rocket launcher

    The 5 even the 6 would fit but the spreader lights would have to be moved either lower or between the rod holders. WMW wanted $800 delivered to Jacksonville so I got them from GW performance for $360 delivered , I have to get my own 316 S/S screws and washers. I do isolate the S/S washer from...

    Shipping GW 228 in a container

    I will start with Don't put it in a container you are risking damage to the hull, it is not meant to have all the weight on its side. You can fit it in a high container but you may have to strip the trailer somewhat. It cheaper in a container but the risk is there. Trailers in AU can be 2.5...

    2002 Yamaha f225txr not shifting out of gear

    I'm not familiar with the 225 Yam, does it have a solenoid on the throttle? If yes that's what I would be looking at.

    2002 Yamaha f225txr not shifting out of gear

    I think you will find your throttle control cable maybe corroded and you can't close the throttle, Because the revs are so high it won't disengage the gear . If it works without the engine running all is good with the gear cable . Try disengaging the throttle cable then start the engine and put...

    Seafarer bracketed w/Bimini vs no bracket and hardtop

    I hate bottom paint because it means the boat was kept in the water . One of the reasons I have a trailer boat is I keep it on the trailer all the time and this is the norm in Australia. I know you guys ( especially north) keep them in the water during summer and take them out in winter you wrap...

    Seafarer bracketed w/Bimini vs no bracket and hardtop

    HPDI's are known to have problems, I wouldn't buy one unless I wanted to re-power. I have a soft top 228 ( I re-power when I bought it with Merc). 0x66 is a good engine and long lasting if serviced but she will be thirsty. As for the hull I would always buy the 228, no question there, much...
