If there is a casting mark, or any distinctive mark on the hub, or the prop housing, make an aligning mark in the other piece. If no mark, then mark both. You can look at them anytime, and say yes or no to prop slip. Don't know if materials or methods have changed, but in 40 years, I may have...

FLW, if it concerns you, reach up in there with a trim router, and round the edge before sealing.

Don't know what brand you are using, but maybe some wiring info here. https://elec-tra-mate.com/ If not, you can call, and probably have the owner answer the phone. Very friendly and helpful. Carl, IIRC

With the kind of money you are looking to spend, you need to get on a plane and come to Miami next month. Plan at least 3 days at the show, if not 5. Over 150 boats in the water for sea trials at Sea Isle. Sea Isle Marina: Test drive over 150 Sea Trial Vessels and find additional Boat and Engine...

If you really think it is a leak from a through hull fitting, you might want to install a counter, to see how often the pump cycles, when left in the water...

Definately. FWIW, I never rode on a 228 before I bought mine, either, but I had the same hull in another boat, it was used, and it cost less than 10% of a new Marlin ;)

What he considers a rough ride in a Marlin might not be the same as your impression if you were his passenger. How many hours/days have you spent in a Marlin before ordering one? To answer your question, beam itself is not as critical to a smooth offshore ride as deadrise is. Parker makes a...

It was neither offered, nor presented as "expert advise", it is the internet, and most of us are adults. If there is a level of expertise required here, please define it, along with your own. There was a sentence that preceded your abandon ship point................"One thing that I’ve realized...

I can’t believe this guy sold 48 of them for $66.89. That’s what happens when people don’t know how to Google. At least they got free shipping, lol...

That one broke, I super glued it back together, then filled it with five minute epoxy. Couldn’t pull it apart by hand, but I replaced the toilet before I ever used it.

Like this? Sani Pottie part #310067. I bought one last year, but never saw them half this cheap. https://marinesan.com/latch-assembly-white/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk_Hjp9qU9QIVgaGGCh3vdACFEAQYAyABEgJk5_D_BwE https://www.defender.com/pdf/500255.pdf

It is called awning track, awning rail, or Keder rail. When i needed some, I called a few local awning companies, and was able to buy 20 foot aluminum track for a couple of dollars/foot, and no shipping. One had a pile of used for free, but new was cheap, closer, and easier to work with.

Put your biggest rod, with braid, with the max drag that you will ever use, in the rod holder. Have a friend 30-40 feet behind the boat jerk and pull as aggressively as he can, and see how it feels with your hand on the bottom or the rod holder, under the gunnel. A straight rod will stress the...

12 feet will probably be okay for that boat, but you will measure before you buy, or build, won't you? Everything goes up with door height, wall height, roof height, co$t$, etc. And costs accelerate once you get above 9 feet. Also, if in a subdivision, your HOA may have restrictions...

Anytime you can cruise at 30 in the ocean, you’re doing pretty well. What are you looking for, higher cruise, better economy, higher top end? And what props are you running now?

Can you post a picture of top and bottom sides of where the drain hole is in the locker? It is going to be a low/slow flow, unless you stuff the bow, and even then. The solution could be as simple as something like a funnel below the hole, with a hose to a gravity fed through hull. Or, you could...

I’d be more concerned about only averaging 10 miles a gallon.
