Reworded the post a little to make more clear.

The "on-demand" pump stops working sometimes if the water is not in use continuously. After opening the valve to the sink or shower, if you tap on the side of the pump housing it comes back on. There is a rocker arm pivoting over a diaphragm and spring inside the on demand switch. Could it be...

My 2006 228 has a F250 and it will turn 6000rpm's at 46mph with the hardtop and all enclosures on. It performs very close to what Grady post's on their performance webpage. The difference is I get about 2.9mpg at a 30mph cruise instead of 3.09mpg. It's for sale on this forum by the way.

How bout a 228 I have a 2006 Seafarer that I would make you a great deal on. It is the same thing as the 208, just a little bit larger.

Which boat actually has the better ride in a 2-3 foot sea? The seafarer is lighter but narrower (8'-0"). The Gulfstream is heavier but wider (9'-3").

I am installing a Poly-Planar stereo in the electronics box attached to the underside of the hard top. In order to maintain channel presets I need a constant (low-amp) source of 12V power that is not interupted by the battery switch. Is such a source of voltage available in the electronics box...

Thanks Thanks all for the input. I think you've figured out what I have. I was hoping to find it had the macerater (I bought the boat used is why I don't know these things). I guess all i need now is a gun on board to threaten anyone who thinks of using this thing. I seems like it would...

Thanks BobP That's exactly what I thought. The two hoses are there just like you said. But if I reach as far as I can, nothing but smooth hoses. There is a vacuum out opening in the walkaround, but I can't find a pump or valve anywhere. I'm worried it is rigged with the vacuum out opening...

I didn't touch the bowl, but it looks like the whole thing is plastic. It has two black hoses attached that go thru the wall. But no valves anywhere I can see.

2006 Seafarer 228G w/Hardtop & Upper Station Powered by Yamaha 250 Fourstroke Dry Stored in Pensacola, Florida No name yet Great Boat

The head in our Seafarer is connected through the compartment wall with two hoses. I don't know if it has a macerator or not. The owners manual has directions for vacuuming or overboard removal and directs you to a valve in the Starboard storage compartment. I have looked high and low in all...

I have a 2006 228G and want to install an Airmar M260 in-hull transducer to integrate the a Raymarine DSM300 sounder. Can anyone (who is knowledgeable) tell me the best location for this unit, based on accessibility, hull density/thickness/etc.? My gut tells me it would be on the keel, but...

Gunwhale Speakers Through this exercise I have decided to put a pair of speakers (Poly-Planar MA-7500) under the hardtop next to the spreader lights, and a second pair (MA-9020) near the rear under the gunwhales. StarMarineDepot has an excellent deal on the gunwhale speakers right now. See...

I want to install a four speaker sound system in my Seafarer. Where are good locations to attach the four speakers to have decent sound at the helm and behind? I want the sound for the exterior area only (I may attach an auxillary set of speakers for the cabin later)?

I just bought a 2006 Seafarer 228G w/ Hardtop. The boat came with the Raymarine C80 system including the DSM300 Sounder. The head unit is in the glove compartment. Where would the black box (DSM300) be mounted. I can't find it anywhere. I want to install a heading sensor so I'm looking...
