    New enclosure for my 228

    PM sent. One more question, what did you use to cut the material?

    Shower sum pump

    A fuse is a lot cheaper than a float switch. I would be checking for power, and hoping not to find it. I think the old blue ones have a short piece of the shaft sticking out where the wires go in. See if you can get a grip on it, and manually lift the float.

    New enclosure for my 228

    Hookup, is the zipper at the top sewn onto a piece of kedar strip that uses the original track? If you can sew .040, might it also hold a snap, without all the fabric blocking the view at the top of the windshield? Where are you guys getting Makrolon? I would love to have a sample if you have...

    Stainless Steel Cupholders

    It may not look good after awhile, if it's inferior ss, but it will hold up better than plastic, I would think.

    New enclosure for my 228

    0.060 is 1/16th of an inch. Have you run it and have a good idea of how much it flexes in the wind? Looks like they made the front narrower than stock, to keep the poly off the curvature. And what is the tubing sticking up from the center of your windshield? I don't have that fitting in 2000.

    New enclosure for my 228

    Nice job! Did you remove the electronics box, to allow them to fold in/up, or did you not have one? Don't see the typical bump on top of the hard top. I have been wondering if the front panels can be done in one piece, and minimize the fabric at the top of the windshield, to increase visibility.

    COVER FOR A 1999 SEAFARER 228G W/HARDTOP- SINGLE ENGINE YAM 225 OX66

    A lot of covers attach underneath the hardtop, eliminating that problem, and increasing your choices. If you want them covered, you can use a separate hardtop cover for the top itself.

    Floor valves

    Joe, how long would it take you to access those through hulls(floor valves) if the deck hatch was not removed? A lot of Gradys have ss rods to remotely operate them. You should be able to close them in seconds in an emergency.

    Zipper size on bimini top

    If the zipper is still good(box, teeth, tape, stitching), and the slide is the problem, that is a pretty simple fix, on the boat. The box is what joins the 2 halves together. Slide the slider all the way to the other end, and remove whatever is keeping it on the teeth. I could be a sewn tab, or...

    Manual or electric head for a Gulfstream

    You can almost always use a dual port livewell pump, or tee off of the existing through hull. A fresh water head is easier to keep smelling fresh, that's for sure.

    Parts catalog?

    I've never asked the factory who the OEM was, and been refused an answer.

    Dealership "restrictions" for buy a GW?
