    Transducer installation

    If you still have it, post a photo of the cross-section of the plug you cut out of the hull.

    Replace bilge pump

    Access is through the round pie plates in the splash well. If you have to replace the pump, if you can find the same model, you can often switch out the motor, and leave the strainer basket attached to the hull.

    Can I move my captains seat?

    Is it on a box, where you can see the nuts on the bottom, or a pedestal on the deck?

    EZ Loader trailer burned and melted

    6 point socket is less likely to slip, or round off the nut, than a 12. If you already have access to a 12 pt, try it.

    Can I move my captains seat?

    Most, if not all, GW helm seats slide forward and back from the wheel, the pedestal itself does not move. If your new seat did not come with a slider, the industry is pretty standardized, so the slider off your old seat may well mount to the bottom of your new one. As said, pics would help...

    New bow mounted boarding ladder and opening rail

    I was not suggesting not having a ladder, but only that the handrail might be a good support when you were near the top of the ladder.

    Sailfish factory changes through the years? What do you know.

    New bow mounted boarding ladder and opening rail

    I would think that having the rail in place would add a lot of stability to anyone getting on, or off, the ladder at the top. Sort of like going from the roof to a ladder that only sticks up a few inches above the gutter. Maybe I'm just getting old. Is there someone who can't step over the rail?

    Launched and running smooth

    Why would you run muffs if your water pumps are submerged in a tub? Just restricts your intakes, and does not reflect real world conditions.

    Launched and running smooth

    If you run it in a tub with the muffs on, you will probably get an alarm.

    Towing

    Just bought a 228 on Tuesday, and towed it 75 miles at 65-70, with a 1500 Silverado 5.3. Perfectly flat, no hills east of I95 ride. Pulled easily, but the trailer had no brakes, so I had to watch my spacing. Good luck with your new boat.

    Replacing lights and bulbs and other schtuph

    No thread yet. Wife spotted it on the way home from the coast Monday, went back and bought it Tuesday. Very clean 2000 model. Daughter and SIL are using our place this week, so I just parked it in the driveway and left. Won’t see it for at least a week.

    228 Anchoring question

    7-10 scope is for sleeping, or leaving the boat on an anchor. You wouldn't be very popular at the sandbar with that much line out.

    228 Anchoring question

    Sounds like you are anchoring straight from the bow pulpit, or roller. Decide which side you want to the wind/current, and move the line to the bow cleat on that side
