I am needing to replace my batteries in my 228 as one of them will not hold a charge and I do not trust the other. I am currently running group 24 centennial rv/marine batteries which only lasted 3 seasons. They barely meet the specs for a 2001 ox66 225 hp motor. What are you guys running in...

My only concern is if you get some sort of debris stuck in there, it's going to be a pain to clear. Other than that, it looks like a viable solution.

+1 for Burnewiin.

I get them from amazon, sounds like it might be time. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH12Y7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My through hulls are bronze, not plastic like the ones pictured in the link.

No, you just replace the flapper.

Interesting, here is what I replace mine with. I think it is worth a shot, since it's so easy and only a few dollars. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH12Y7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lucky, I replace the black perko flaps in the scupper every year. I know it might sound excessive, but those things dry out and do not seal well then. I get a tiny bit of water but not enough to ever worry about.

I just replaced my deck drains on my 228 as the original drain pipes where split. What a pain in the A$$ but totally doable and necessary. I also replace the hose clamps on all other through hole fittings as several were rusted off. I went ahead and replaced them with the current stainless...

On my 228, you can put 8-10 albacore depending on the size in the hold behind the drivers seat with plenty of ice. You can get 4-6 behind the passenger seat with ample ice. I have put 3 40-46" halibut in the one behind the drivers seat with ice. I also carry 2 reliable bags that will hold...

I bought the G3 vision card for the west coast (Oregon) and it is fantastic. I was using the navionics on my phone before, but having it on the chart plotter is a real bonus for me. It is very accurate as far as showing bottom structure / shading when I have compared it to my charts. What I...

I just ordered a graphics kit for my 2000 seafarer 228 from my closest dealer in Seattle. I will let you know the cost once it gets here in the next week of so.

As stated before, if you are after technical information and are very specific, there is a great amount of information available by some. I have had outstanding service by Semperfi who sells electronics that is a world of knowledge if you reach out. Like and any form, there are a select few...

Thank you

Lucky, Super stoked for you, I’m so glad you found your boat.

Lucky, You should look at a Ocean Sport Roamer 30, if you want a boat that can haul a$$ in most condition and be super economical. I fished 41 days last year out of Garibaldi OR. or Illwaco Wa. One port you have to cross the Columbia bar and the other you cross the Tillamook bar. I have...

Check out Burnewiin, it's a great system.

Best piece of advice yet...

Sam, You have a tough decision to make, the good thing the Gulfstream and Voyager are great choices. I own a Seafarer 228 and love it. I grew up in Dana Point Ca, so I am very familiar with the waters you will be fishing. My boat has the 2 stroke 225 and they are great engines but are...

Check on the "Thehulltruth.com" there was someone selling raised lettering for Grady's. If I see it again, I will attach the link. Good Luck

Greysailor, Give Burnewiin a look for rod holders and mounts. I also have a 1999 228 and installing burnewiin mounts and getting rid of the stock rod holders has been one of the best things I have done to my grady. It was not dirt cheap, but for downrigger mounts and and rod holders, they are...
