Sometimes I will be running a fuel bladder as well. So one filter for the main tank and one for the auxiliary tank and fuel bladder. The auxiliary tank and bladder fuel lines will connect to the filter with ball valves to switch between the 2. I want to avoid having to disconnect and connect...

Looking for how others have set up dual filters on a Seafarer. There not a lot of room under the starboard transom. The biggest problem I am having is where to put the 3 way valve to switch between tanks.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid cutting a hole but I don't I think there is another option. I can most probably get the hoses on from underneath using one hand but tightening the hose clamps will need two hands and I can't get two in there. Another thing. The auxiliary tank will have it's own...

I have the tank in. The fuel and vent hoses are pre-rigged. They are still soft. I’ve drilled the holes for the Perko filler. I have been able to pull the pipes through. That was tight. So there is no way the hose clamps for the filler and vent hoses can be installed above the gunnel and then...

Thanks

I am using the Grady White dimensions just slightly narrower so I don't need to enlarge the opening in the deck. One less thing to do. Thanks.

I’m having an auxiliary fuel tank fabricated for my 228. Across the top of the space that the tank will sit in is a PVC conduit that I assume carries wiring. Does this need to be removed to fit the tank? Thanks

That makes sense. Thanks.

My question is can’t this stern lift be produced by trimming the motor or tabs. The fuel consumption will most probably be greater. In choppy conditions a prop with more bite will maintain speed and remain on the plane but a prop with less grip, the speed would drop and the boat would fall off...

Yes I understand that different props can produce different amounts of stern lift. You can also achieve as much stern lift as you want by trimming the motor under or using your tabs. So I’m not sure how stern lift by the propeller reduces the planing speed more than other methods. Just thinking...

Welcome. The Seafarer is a great boat. 226 or 228?

As I understand, it the planing speed is a function of the hull shape not the motor. Sharrow props can plane at lower rpm due to less prop slip but the planing speed remains the same. As others have said a prop with more “grip” (eg. 4 blade) might reduce the amount that the boat falls off the...

You’re not talking about blocking the scuppers I presume.

I would cut the brass cube off and use the correct size six point socket on the nut. That will minimize the chance of slipping and rounding the nut off. I wouldn't use an adjustable wrench, especially as the nut is fairly thin.

What do you mean? It's 2.5 bananas wide an 1.63 bananas high. That all the info needed.

Time to purchase is when you find the "right" boat. Could be tomorrow or in weeks or months.

This is the latch on my 2006 228. It will secure the hatch more securely and last much longer than plastic. Search for twist lock door latch...

When I got my pulpit from Grady White 5200 was included in the mounting kit. That went under the pulpit. I think that may be the issue.

Yes 55 gallon plastic drum with my F250. The drum needs to become a bit oval shape to fit the leg in but works well. Cost $20 in Aussie money.
