    Seafarer 228 fuel fill hose

    Somewhere on this forum is a chart that lists every hose size and length on the boat. It may have come from a service, or owner's manual. If you don't have one, they are online.

    Yamaha 175hp 1995 175TXRT Replace Steering Bracket Assembly

    The flat tiller extension on the top of Part #6 does not move independently, therefore, it cannot get jammed up. Think of it as a part welded to the block. It has 2 hole locations to attach either the steering cables, or the steering ram. If the problem lies with either the cable, or the ram...

    Yamaha 175hp 1995 175TXRT Replace Steering Bracket Assembly

    If not yet completely disjoined, then maybe "loss of confidence, no longer seaworthy" is an easier explanation. I believe the powerhead has to come off to replace #6, but it could possibly be welded, depending on condition. You couldn't exert enough pressure from the wheel to break that part off...

    Reliable used motors

    I always wonder what happens to all of the hurricane damaged boats and motors. They seem to just disappear without flooding the market with parts.

    Yamaha 175hp 1995 175TXRT Replace Steering Bracket Assembly

    I had the same problem on a 200 Yamaha with mechanical steering. Got to the point where I was afraid the connection would fail, so I moved the connection back to the second hole, which you can see in the diagram , without any noticeable increase in steering effort. Yours may be rusty beyond that...

    Folding transom

    I don't see any rod holders, just 2 cup holders. Unless you are trying to go back original, instead of better, I would copy the Tournament gate in my post above. Eliminate the middle hinge, 1/2" starboard is plenty, 1/2" screws through the 2 piano hinges. The thickness of the hinge will keep...

    Folding transom

    Most GW transom gates that I have seen have the board on top.

    GPS Boat Tracker

    To do anything in the boat, they would have to come through the cockpit to the helm, right? How about a motion detector, low enough not to be activated by outside motion, to trigger your alarms, before they rip open a hatch or door? You could also hide a hardwired cell phone, with a “find my...

    Rod holders in floor of head?

    Either that rod holder swings up, or that bottom drawer swings down, because you can zoom in on a stainless piano hinge in the crack between the two. If it swings up, it must just be the rod holder caps, without the tubes below.

    GPS Boat Tracker

    Not a recommendation, but there sen to be a lot of them out there. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Spot+Trace&crid=1CSQVATCVUY74&sprefix=spot+trace%2Caps%2C414&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

    Deck access plates

    At the risk of offending someones' sensitivity, or sensibility, I will re-post my solution, which is well into its second year by now, date on the photo is Feb., '21. When I bought my 2000 Seafarer a couple years ago, the pop out pie plates would fall out from wind, water hose, or just choppy...

    wiper adjustment

    See if you can see a brand name on it, then look for a youtube video.

    Live well pick up

    I think a cut out is a notched transom, like in the pics above. They are the same model as his boat.

    Live well pick up

    Anybody know what the hole in the transom is, halfway down the bottom paint, port side, in the first 15 seconds of video(a better look at 0:50)? If it's a pick up, it would only work drifting or anchored.

    new grady

    Don't know who their target market is, for a 28 foot CC, with only 4 gunnel rod holders, but 8 cup holders. Only 4 in the rocket launcher, and the 4 behind the helm seat are just in the way of anyone trying to fish in the tiny cockpit.

    New Windshield - Ideas for frame???

    You got a nice, glass wind screen out of it, but the problem Lucky and others are trying to alleviate is the top of the stock windshield being directly in our line of sight

    Live well pick up

    If this was your original set up, is the hatch in front of the motor your livewell, or your bilge access. Or is your livewell one of the hatches at the end of the walkaround?
