Guys, You will find in USA octane rating differs from the rest of the world, 98 octane in Kuwait is the same as 93 in USA. In USA you use AKI rating RON Octane Rating x 0.95 = AKI Octane Rating ) 98 RON Octane x 0.95 = 93.1 AKI Octane (US measure) 100 RON Octane x 0.95 = 95 AKI Octane (US...

Yes you can , no problem at all.

I found these on E-Bay , 60# 7.5" Columbia SS Gas Strut Spring Lift Support Shock Tube Arm 7" Stainless They are the same length as the OME on my 228 but I don't know what force the original one is . Does anyone know ?

do you have a part number or brand name? What size is the spring?

My lid holder, little strut that holds the lid up is rusty, has anyone replaced theirs with a S/S strut or S/S spring? Where can I buy one from?

Thanks for the replies guys. Bob R, I don't think my problem is the same as yours . My steering works fine when the boat is not moving and its only heavy turning to port side. I bled the system when I got the boat but I may blow all the fluid out just in case she has dirt inside somewhere. I...

I run about 130-150 miles in my 2002 Trophy in Sydney Australia. but never more than 40 miles offshore . I intend to do the same with my 228 Seafarer when I have her ready for fishing, I have to say she will handle it a lot easier than the Trophy.

When I got my 228 seafarer , I parked uphill and removed the fuel sender . I used a syphon hose to empty the tank , she had about 30 gals in . She didn't have much water in the tank, not even a cupfull. once all the fuel was out I wrapped a clean rag on a piece of thick wire and wiped the bottom...

The seastar hydraulic steering on my 1998 228 is very heavy when you turn to port, turning to starboard is fine . When I got the boat a few weeks ago the system had air in it, you turn the steering 1/4 of a turn before the engine would move. Fluid was a little low so I bled it and filled up no...

I will be hanging a 250 Optimax at the back of my 228G very soon, I bought the boat in GA last March and had it shipped to Sydney Australia. She has a 250 Yam 2 stroke EFI, I'll take her out tomorrow for the first time for some tests, then the Yammie comes off and the brand new Opti goes on. I...

Well its the law here, only trailers under 750 kg ATM (1650 lb) don't have to have brakes, trailers up to 2000KG (4400lb) can have surge brakes one one axle , anything over 2000 kg must have brakes on all wheels and you must be able to apply the trailer brakes from the drivers seat independent...

Well the boat will get in Sydney June the 4th or there about, going via Japan, it takes a little longer but cheaper by 20% or $2000. That will be the biginning of our winter but winters are very mild here , temp at night never goes near zero C ( 32F in your language), normal max during the day...

I don't know what it will cost you but the hardtop will be even higher than the Vista top . If you want to sell your clear enclosure curtains I'm interested but I need to know in the next few days, I only need the clear front and side curtains not the vista top, I have that. By the way they will...

magicalbill, Thanks for the info. I called G/W and was told boat with all extras, including hardtop and full tank 125 gal would be 5300 lbs not including trailer. When you add the hardtop and the extra 33 gal of fuel, say another 300-400 lbs to your 4900 ( your trailer would be 900), you are...

Thanks for that, great help. That's what I wanted to know. I bought a seafarer 228 G in GA and I forgot to measure it. I'm a long way away now in Australia, I have to order a new trailer , the trailer she was on ( Magik Tilt) is to wide (8'6'') for AU, we can only have max 2.5 mtrs ( 98 1/4")...

Are you saying that she weighed 5800 including trailer? I assume that was weighed not astimated. Have you got a 226 or 228? What year? Do you have a hardtop? Was the tank full? 92 gallon? 125? Is the 250 four stroke? How much does your trailer weigh? I'm looking at buying a new trailer for...
