Awesome looking chairs but unfortunately too big for my Seafarer. But I would be interested in used Pompanette Premier Helm seats if someone is thinking of upgrading to these seats, thanks.

Will give that a try, I did notice that the device list only shows the Lowrance details now but previously showed the Suzuki Interface in the list, thanks

Awesome thanks for that, much appreciated! Yes us Canucks sure get hosed on some of the US shipping costs.

Actually yes, the boat had a Garmin external GPS antenna on the hardtop when I bought the boat, I never plugged it into anything until I setup the NMEA backbone. Do you think that Garmin GPS is interfering with the Lowrance HDS and the NMEA network? The previous owner left the Garmin GPS...

Luckily my boat lives in my shop when not on the water so rodents shouldn’t be an issue as the cables and everything are only 3 months old. I did make sure the key was on when checking the device list for the Suzuki Interface recognition and rec-checked all the connections ie SDS to SMIS to NMEA...

Now that we are on the NMEA 2000 network topic, I bought the Suzuki SDS to SMIS cable then the Suzuki Interface cable (yes the correct software version for my 2012 DF250). I plugged it all in, fired up the motor in the driveway back in March and everything worked fine on my Lowrance HDS, I could...

Awesome thanks, not cheap $80 for 2 oz, I wonder why the paste didn’t come up in my first search.

I have some small nicks as well in my gel coat but I didn’t see where you can purchase just the 2oz paste, I could only see the quart size for $375 that looks like it comes with the 2oz paste. I’m up in Canada so I wonder if it’s a different website with different options.

I have a Suzuki DF250 on my 1999 228 Seafarer and I think it’s a perfect match, great hole shot and lots of mid range torque, I can’t imagine anything less

I have a 1999 228 and I installed mine in the clamshell that Lucky mentioned

Thanks, we built the house first 22 years ago and then the barn a year after, which you can see in the background. But with Covid and the upswing in prices I have to admit that the shop costs were way more than I planned. Your shop looks great and will give you years of use, it’s just...

Yes we dug the hole, poured the footing then built the 22 inch foundation and poured, back filled, framed and then poured the concrete slab. I didn't realize your shop was post framed, that makes sense now, thanks.

Great job, it’s interesting to see different framing techniques, it looks like your original walls were 4x4 on 4ft or 5ft centers. Up here on the west coast of Canada north of Seattle, I recently built a shop for my boat and toys and tools and I went with 2x6 on 16 inch centres, 14 ft walls...

This is what my dual binnacle looks like on my 228 from a couple angles

Yes I luckily have a friend with the same motor and Seafarer so I used the straight edge off his keel and measured to the anticavitation plate and then measured mine and adjusted to get the correct height.

I had to move my DF250 up 2 holes on my 228 Seafarer from the initial install height to get much better performance but it was well worth it

I know it’s been said here before but you can drink out of that bilge, also what are those wires used for that are coming out of your drain plug hole?

I’ve been looking at the Maxshine M8S DA as I’m thinking it would work well in those tighter areas you mention, I have the Makita polisher for the larger areas on the boat.

I have a 1999 228 Seafarer and had to get a new drop curtain made which I believe the upholstery shop used Sunbrella navy blue to match the rest of my curtains that were on the boat

Most likely a blockage, did you push weed/grass trimmer line up into the tell tale hole to try to dislodge ?
