Here is a picture of where my transducer is placed it is about 7” up from the center of the hull and placed in front of the intake so it has clean flow going over it.
I have a garmin 1242xvs in my console of my 228 and it is great. I had two 9” screens on another boat and it worked well, but I prefer the 12” screen much more.
Charlie does great work, I saw another 228 with a cabin on it he did. Would you mind letting us know the cost, I have entertained this idea for a few years. Thanks and I look forward to seeing the progress.
Good evening, sorry for the late reply. It should be on the starboard side of the boat. Lift the back seat up and there should be a long steel rod attached to the valve. I think you push it down to close it. (Could be the other way.). That is where mine is. What year is your 228?
I've purchased 2 different covers fro Empire covers and have been very happy. The 1200 denier is very sturdy and has lasted 4 seasons on the Oregon coast.
