    Hard steering

    The helm pump (steering wheel) has reversing valves in it. They don't like air. I have a small plastic bottle that I use to fill the helm pump with. Take the cap off to check the level. Top it off. Trim the motors down. Slowly turn wheel all the way to one side - then the other side. Keep adding...

    Question about manual flush toilet

    I would leave the "fill" seacock "open". That is legal. Then just get it pumped out or empty it frequently. The fresh water flush does reduce odors but its best to empty the tank and flush clean. I use the head as little as possible. I try to keep it empty. I have plastic bags for bowl liners...

    Table attachement

    Not going to be easy. Where did you get get the post from? The Amazon post above has one but it longer. Looks like a China, Inc part. different length. See if you can find them. eBay? Make one? Good luck! At least you know what you are looking for! You could use a piece of pipe to couple the...

    Table attachement

    You are missing a piece. Your post looks correct - secured to the boat between the v-bunks. There is a horizontal aluminum arm that goes on top of the post. The other end has a bushing for the table top.

    Guest charger not for use while pulling a draw??

    Refrigerators are intermittent draw. Bait pumps are not. Not sure if that was a BS answer from them or not. Switch to ProMarinier HD...$200 Consider the Noco multi-bank chargers as well.

    Table attachement

    The vertical plate on the boat has a v-groove in it. The table mount slides into it. The black arm locks it. First thing is commenting the vertical mount to the boat. Got it? Then the table may have an extension arm that odd sets the table and lets you position it where you want. Where are...

    Guest charger not for use while pulling a draw??

    I run bait tank pumps and refrigerator overnight on the dock with my Promariner ProSportHD 20. 3-bank charger.

    NJ Offshore Wind Farms Pros/Cons/Conspiracy theories

    They are mapping the bottom to find suitable locations. Apparently involves blasting and then looking at sensor data. They claim it has nothing to do with whale and dolphin deaths. But the number of deaths have soared. Coastal communities are in an uproar over the deaths of the whales and the...

    NJ Offshore Wind Farms Pros/Cons/Conspiracy theories

    Agreed. Let's talk about how these windmills will help our fishing. Hopefully the politicians and regulators will let us fish!

    NJ Offshore Wind Farms Pros/Cons/Conspiracy theories

    Taste just like chicken! There has to be a back room agreement with Murphy, the White House and NOAA to ignore the mammal deaths to get the "green" windmills built. Normally NJ DEP and NOAA have a "zero tolerance" policy not to harm endangered species or habitat. They know they will loose some...

    Has anyone installed a 12" Garmin - GPSMAP 1242xsv in a 228?

    You made the right decision going with the 8610xsv's. It's a better unit if it's within your budget. I chose them for my boat. Interesting thing is the Garmin chartplotter series of displays have nearly identical screen resolution. There is not much difference between the 943xsv and the...

    NJ Offshore Wind Farms Pros/Cons/Conspiracy theories

    I know this can't be stopped in NJ. I'm just trying to figure out where these windmills are (GPS locations). All I have seen are vague generalizations of where they are. I want to look at them on my chartplotter. If Chris Christie were governor and all theses whales turned up dead you can bet...

    Has anyone installed a 12" Garmin - GPSMAP 1242xsv in a 228?

    Great choice and install. Garmin units have an anti-theft pin feature as well. You may want to turn on depending on where you are.

    NJ Offshore windmills

    So what's the deal with these NJ wind farms? Are we going to be able to fish right up to them like the Gulf anglers do with the oil rigs? They are a little North of me - off Ocean City. They don't look that far offshore - not far enough to be a good FAD. Maybe August/September if it warms up...

    265 Capsized of Jersey Coast

    I'm going to end my participation in this thread. TowBoatUS Barnagate fraud and conspiracy theories aside, you are not going to find out what caused the 268 to sink. We had our fun with Mustang. Can play him like a piano! Shift the NJ windmills elsewhere.

    265 Capsized of Jersey Coast

    Obviously you don’t know what you are talking about. I posted the Frank K question on TowBoatUS Barnegate. I was notified that TowBoatUS Barnegate responded and I posted their response. In my opinion it is unlikely you will get any more investigative information about the incident. If you...
