I would replace the drums with disc brakes. I did it with my last pacific trailer, not a hard job. Easy to order all the parts and not a hard job. I think I just payed around $400 for a new surge but if you need it you need it.

I bought a set of those with a curb side ladder for my last boat/trailer they work great for loading the boat. I haven't needed them with my 228 yet.

I just spent $2200 having my 8 year old trailer brakes and bearings rebuilt including a new surge. Wow I didn't know a boat trailer could stop so nice.

So I found a full bottle of Ritchie fluid that the previous owner must have bought and never used. I filled the compass and turned upright, within 5 minutes there were two wet spots. So I called RITCHIE and I can replace it for $225 or send it to them and for $117 they will rebuild, I just got...

Luckydude I was out last week in less then favorable conditions and I was able to stay on plane at 18 MPH working the throttle back and forth as I crested waves. 3 blade prop but a much older and different 225 motor the yours.

I'm glad you found out before you bought it. Can you elaborate on what was found in the survey? I guess you didn't have an understanding with the seller that if it doesn't pass you get your deposit back?

Nope flappers are not missing. From what I read this normal I only noticed it if someone was standing in the corner the water drains right back out when you move.

Yep I noticed the water coming in from those drains last week.

Mine was stains from the previous owner (looked like blood that never got cleaned??)so I'm not sure but I tried a good industrial fiberglass cleaner with a heavy brush and it wouldn't touch them. So I put the power washer right on them and they were gone.

I used a pressure washer on mine, especially the deck had some stains it cleared them right off with no damage to the glass.

I have a rule I never unhook my stern straps until I install the plug that's my safety net.

Not very productive. Trolled for 2 hours a couple miles off the head had one take down but lost it at the boat. Went over to tamales point and trolled a couple more hours down to 10 mile and back. Then switched over to halibut gear and drifted for an hour at the mouth of tomales bay. Then tried...

I noticed that my compass oil on my 1999 228 is very low, any idea how to add oil to it?

I saw that movie the first time when I was 9 years old, the next year we moved to this area. I remember as a little kid my dad stopping at the school in Bodega where the kids ran down the hill. Some movies will never be forgotten.

I've always pulled plug on all my boats and have always had water come out. My 228 on the other hand has never had anything drain out. the other day I was in the pacific for 6 hours not one drop came out after pulling the plug, not bad for a 21 year old boat.

Finally took a picture of my 228, I launched out of Bodega Bay ca.

Well I ran out of Bodega Bay Ca. today for a salmon try and the tilt worked fine?? It functioned the way it should and it never went down when I powered up although I think the tilt shaft is leaking a little more. I'll probably tear it off this winter and send to the Company seasick posted.

I have two from Bass pro that work well, sometimes two are nice.

Nice job, Fort Ross? I like your ling bar. Do you camp at Bodega when your out there?
