I think I will try ebay for the Standard Horizon radio. Let you know how I make out

Electronics in a seafarer 226 I have two separate units - a Garmin 400c 4 inch Fishfinder and a Garmin 440 4 inch Chartplotter. Went for 2 separate units - did not want to use a one unit split screen. I play in Southwest Florida from Boca Grande to Ten Thousand Islands area - many times I...

Electronics in a seafarer 226 Catch22, I cannot find the small electric box on the port side you are talking about. I have a 95 226 seafarer, all my electric power seem to originate from the starboard side under the helm. I like the idea about the VHF mount ovet the port shelf but I...

New Electronics JiminGA, Where did you locate your VHF ? I have a 226 and will be flush mounting the Fishfinder and GPS in the electronics box but need to relocate the VHF which is currently in the electronics box. Thanks

Thanks Sounds like a good idea - I will measure the electronics box to see if the units will fit. Thanks

I am upgrading my electronics and will be using Garmin's GPS and Fishfinders with 5 inch screens. I bought my 95 seaferer used and the previous owner had mounted a GPS and Fishfinder on top of the dash over the electronic box. Not crazy about the location but not sure where to mount the new...

Just curious, I have a 95 226 Seafarer with a 95 200 hp saltwater series II, I go into the Merc Prop Selector, I put in the spec's per the factory. Boat with one engine-3350 lbs, Fuel-92 gals, people and gear-800 lbs, good overall performance goal and I come up with their recommendation of a...

Try this site Go to Mercury Marine - propeller section. They have a drop down menu on what prop for your boat. Give you a good idea of the sizes and pitch based on boat, motor and loads.

I went and did the deed - I installed a Permatrim on my 226 Seafarer with a Yami 200 hp. Installation went well and I used per their instructions 3m 5200 between the Permatrim plate and the CV plate. I used the fast cure version because I wanted to go out this weekend. The label claims a 24...

I tend to lean towards the Marine-Tex, maybe with a gelcoat cover for looks. Want the hole in the transom to be filled with a marine grade product - Marine-tex seems to fit the repair very well Thanks for all your advice. :roll:

I have a waterside screw hole on the transom that needs filling/repair. What material does anyone recommend ? It is under the swim platform above the waterline, should I use a screw with 5200 ? Thanks

Nah, the smell of $20 bills burning is the 4 stroke smell from the extra money they paid for that type of engine. :lol:

Ok, we will be serious now. I am an Engineer by trade and education, for better or worse can never leave anything alone - always try to improve or refine. There is a product called Damplifer-Pro that is only .075 " thick (2.0 mm), is mylar foil faced, is good to 500 degrees F and is self...

Get a stereo (LOL) :lol:
