    Airmar 175 HW similar

    Get in touch with Semperfi on "The Hull Truth" he is very knowledgeable and has good pricing. I purchased a 175hw for my 228 and it is a fantastic transducer for seeing what's in the water column.

    Dodge Ram ecodiesel for towing a 228?

    I tow my 228 all over with a 2014 f150 ecoboost with the tow package. It does not bat an eye at the 7k lbs and stops with out any issues. I would not hesitate to use the eco diesel as a tow rig for your 228.

    New style cockpit drains

    If the old hose is stuck on the brass thru hull fitting, use a dremel with a round blade (carefully) to cut the hose off the fitting. Make sure you really pay attention as not to damage the thru hull fitting, it worked great.

    New style cockpit drains

    Yes, I just replaced my floor drains on my 228 with the stainless ones. I used 4200 on the bottom and the top and they are solid with no leaks.

    I tow my 228 all over with a f150 eco-boost and it does great. Yes, I wish I had a F250 but the F150 does great. It is also equipped with the towing package.

    Decal Question

    I was hoping you would reply, thanks. What did you use to buff out the hull and top side of your boat? Also, I am guessing you removed all the wax where the decals go prior to installing them? Did you wax over them after installation, any other tips you could share before I install them? Thanks

    Decal Question

    I am doing this at the moment on my 228. The erasure wheel works well, but be ADVISED that you can easily burn your gel coat. I used the erasure wheel for about 3 feet and it works, but now I have to wet sand out some burn marks that will not buff out. I ended up using a heat gun (carefully)...

    I need new Batteries for my 228

    Great, that answers my question. I keep my boat out of the water with no draw on the batteries. I have the ACR breaker that I trip so I think in theory there is not draw. Battery charge has not been an issue until the one died.

    I need new Batteries for my 228

    I'm on the Oregon coast, so heat is not an issue. Sounds like I should just go with the starting batteries. Thanks

    I need new Batteries for my 228

    The Centennial's are a dual purpose batteries that my local marine store carries. I am not thrilled with them as I had one stop holding a charge after a few months (replaced under warranty). We are going into the 3rd season for them and I guess I expected a bit more time. I normally have my...
