    Rinse fuel tank compartment?

    Ok - Anyone have pics of what it looks like? I definitely don’t have one in my 228 from what I see.

    Rinse fuel tank compartment?

    Where would the plug be if there is one? Under the gas tanks??? Or in the bilge?

    NJ re Fishing Line

    It depends...most of the spots in the bay are 8-15ft deep with the occasional 20-30ft if I hit the channel When I head out front I haven’t ventured too far and stick within 50ft Mostly Fluke fishing but I want to get into sea bass as well

    Electronics Installer

    Which OBM did you call? There are 3 but I always work with the one in Lanoka Harbor. Kyle is the manager and Tracey sets it all up. Avoid Good luck point Marina as my neighbor paid 2k+ for maintenance and his boat his sitting on blocks waiting for 7 weeks

    Electronics Installer

    By us, it’s crazy as everyone wants their boat in either by Memorial Day or the 3rd weekend in June when the rest make their way down. I use Ocean Beach Marina for servicing my outboard and whatever I don’t want to deal with it. Bottom painting runs about 400 plus bracket for my boat but it’s...

    Bringing this back up based on a recent FB post.... What is your go to braid lb test for bay fishing? Inshore? I just got another Penn Battle 4000 reel and was debating on what to line it with. I have 1 with 30lb braid and another with 12lb mono. The way I see it, why not go heavy and still...

    Electronics Installer

    Can you go without and do in the off season? I actually did my own electronics but had the folks who service my boat install the transducers. They did a great job, never lose bottom regardless of speed, very clean. Ocean Beach Marina in Lanoka Harbor. Ask for Kyle.

    NJ fishing reports

    Thanks Skunk for the advice... Yes, Barnegat Inlet. I’ve gone out maybe 5 times since last year but plan to do more this year. Each time the inlet was choppy but nothing crazy. Last time, 3/4 of the inlet was glass except for where the waves were rolling into. A few times it looked like...

    Wish I was prepared for sea bass today....Went out in the bay yesterday and was ridiculously windy and choppy so I just assumed that the wind would continue based on windy...NOPE! Hit the bay, saw it was flat and then went into the ocean but with nothing but lures. Tried for stripers and...

    Battery switch and charging

    Agree with the above, you will never know your configuration unless you measure and/ or unscrew it to see what’s what.

    Another prop post + performance question. 2005 Seafarer 228 with F225

    I think trimming the engine to "4" is a little too high and probably why your RPMs are so high. What happens if you run it at 3? I have an OX66 225, but I think most of us 228 owners run them the same except for LuckyDude :). Whenever I get moving, my engine is trimmed all the way down and I...

    New Trailer for sale

    Did he buy the trailer from the same place that built his boat? If so, I would remove or cover their name if he is really annoyed with them.

    Don’t think I’ll be making it out front for a while. My little guy is obsessed with the boat this year and always wants to go on. I’m not comfortable taking him as a 4 year old out there yet. No issue with my 7 yr old daughter... Anybody take young ones out?

    265 Deck Drain Replacement...

    The SS were a direct replacement for the drains on my 2000 228. You just need to really clean the silicone off good where it sits
