    VHF Radio

    All VHF radio‘s sold since 2006 must have DSC capability, but are not required to have internal GPS. Internal is the way to go, but, if you want information such as a nearby mayday to show up on your chart plotter, you still must make the external connections using the small wires on your VHF...

    Russ, I don't know what user name you have on THT, but there is a long time member there, RussH, who is known for his iconic posts, and at least 15 other users with Russ in the name, so people are not always aware of who they are actually talking to, or about.

    THT is an invaluable tool, if you use it for that, and not for entertainment, or for gutting your social needs met. The biggest thing it has to offer is traffic, and getting your questions answered 24/7, in just a few minutes, and if you are there long enough, you learn who to ask and who to...

    Thru Hull Hose Replacement

    A palm ratchet may be the answer to some of those hard to reach hose clamps. https://www.google.com/search?q=palm+ratchet&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiawrrLtJLrAhVUknIEHSWRDVcQ_AUoAnoECA0QBA&biw=1125&bih=644

    Ski hook on 275 freedom factory hardtop

    The key to getting the most out of your water toys is knowing the correct length of tow rope, and correct speed for each. Too long takes the fun out of it, and too short is dangerous, as is too fast.

    2005 Seafarer 228 Bilge wiring question

    You don’t think it’s a good idea to run a second pump on the same set of wiring, but you’re willing to add that second pump to the same plumbing. That is not a good choice. The discharge through hull is well above the waterline, it’s not like you’re adding a pick up on the bottom of the hull...

    seacocks

    Type of metal is not the only thing you need to be aware of, you also have to match thread type. Thru hulls have straight threads, for the backing nut, and most valves have tapered NPT threads. Put those two together, without a proper flange, and you only get a few threads before it feels...

    Bought a 2000 Seafarer 228

    You are correct, it is an OX66. I knew that, but I never had either that, or the HPDI, and the alphabet soup got mixed up in my brain. When we did the compression test last week, I was surprised to find that it was fuel injected. For some reason, I had thought the OX was carbed, and the HPDI was...

    Bought a 2000 Seafarer 228

    My pumps and float switches are working. What I need access for is to reconnect the rod to open and close the seacock. Probably need to replace the handle.

    Bought a 2000 Seafarer 228

    Wife spotted it on the way home from the coast Monday, July 21, I went back and bought it Tuesday. Very clean 2000 model, just on the lot a few hours. I bought it quickly, after cranking it, and running a compression test, because it was a drive, and the bank was closing in an hour. Daughter...

    Trim Tabs On-Off ?

    Bennett? lenco? Electric? Hydraulic? Pic of your switch pad? If there is a small red led bulb there, my guess is that it should be lit to show power. Never had a lit trim switch. (But I do have same situation on my new to me Seafarer, that is, tabs don't work)
