    228 Seafarer Bracket, Chromate Passivation?

    Watching this thread as I planned on recoating my 2002 Seafarer bracket this fall/winter also. I was just going to blast it and paint it with Awlgrip. Ill have to look into whatever "hexavalent chromate passivization" is.

    Bilge Pumps

    Great Advice! I just installed a 2nd bilge pump in the stern of my 228- Overkill? Maybe, but I have piece of mind if one suddenly fails.

    Bilge B Dry - SeaFlo Dry Bilge

    Just wanted to follow up- I ended up buying a 1/2 stainless barbed through hull (I was surprised they make them that small). I ended up drilling and installing the though hull next to my bilge exit. Looks great and will work great also.

    Bilge B Dry - SeaFlo Dry Bilge

    I just purchased a Bilge B Dry single pump for my 228. The little bit of water rolling around down there bothers me and getting to it is PITA because of the livewell. I'm looking at and trying to figure out where or how to run the hose overboard. Its like clear aquarium tubing you get from the...

    Trim tabs

    With a new install Id look at Zipwake. I might make the upgrade this winter on mine. They are pricey but worth it if you spend a lot of time on the boat.

    This is exactly what I'm doing at the end of this season. I'm replacing my 2002 F225 (1250 hrs) and going for a new F250 however, my local dealer is making a notable effort to talk me out of the the fly by wire and electronic shift for some reason. Telling me to keep it all mechanical. The...

    NMEA2K Backbone placement

    Basically just fishing around for a good space to mount the backbone. I was thinking behind the helm but I don't think I have much space in there.
