Yeah this is what I’m talking about. Mine isn’t as bad I put cap nuts on the bow eye bolts and cut of the tie loop from the bow eye backing plate. Now it’s only 1 or 2 bunches on 100’ pull. There is a member on here by Omer and he put a stainless plate slide u set his. What I’m going to do. I...

This is my 2005 250 at 428 hours.

Saw this video on the interwebs and the guy doesn’t say what year it is but I really like that dash he has for his electronics. Or maybe that’s how Australians model seafarers are?

Yeah I have 250’ 8 plait. Thinking about cutting 100’ off idk I’m out in the ocean a lot 80+ depth. The biggest reason is bunch’s you is the windlass is in front of the bow eye. I bunch’s up for the all thread and nuts forward. This winter I’m going to do something like Omer did and put a...

We have the same boat and I have the windlass I guess grady put on them? Anyways I had a new canvas I would put the windlass on the anchor hatch like they do on the new ones. From what I gather you can order that hatch from Grady. It then makes then rope go right into deepest part of the...

Even if it had a battery tender the bilge pump doesn’t get all the water out and makes the bilge stay wet and causes soft decks and corroded connections below deck.

I use FishWeather app

Well bought the 226 with 427 hours this winter. Was looking for a 282 but plans changed and for the time being a smaller boat works best for us. In a month and a half put 50 hours on her up to 477. personal opinion I looked for the 226 and not the 228. Right away had to remove the motor and...

Exactly what sparks of said. Thru hulls on the side of the boat still go below water when going slow and rocking in the bay.

My 226 had batteries to port. I moved them both to starboard side. Now rides level with two ppl. Slightly to starboard by myself. The prop torque leans boat to port. The batteries for some reason are on the port side making it worse. All this while on plane. If I was you I would put the kicker...

I’ll jump on the list to mail to.

Russ, for as safe as you presume to be I can’t believe as an ex navy guy you toke the family out with them. They could have leaked gas right into the bilge for the bilge pump to catch on fire.

Have u taken a fuel sample from the tank. It Might have almost two year old fuel in it???

Damn that sucks.

That poor boat. Atleast it’s getting a dry dock home soon to never see the out doors again.

Yeah pretty common. Let us know how it holds. Feel like all of us 3.3L owners will be there some time. It seems to not matter what year or horsepower.

Maybe a vinegar flush ?

I’m not sure glasses over is the answer. A lot of stress and small give movement at transom. I went with 5200 and filled in the gaps. Has some give and movement for the two pieces of hull to give and not be so rigid like a California sky scraper. Seems to be working great and caught my transom...

Yikes don’t do 1/4” then lol

Well i Well if I ever get this problem I’m sure to do this.
