One other thing - I do not have a hard top. I have a biminni. If I had the hard top, I'd just mount some speakers on them.

Hey all, I have been without a radio for about 2 years and went ahead and bit the bullet to buy a radio and some speakers. I bought the Westmarine radio 200w w/ (2) 6.5in speakers (on sale for 99 bucks. I know these aren't the alpine or jBL's but they sounded descent for the money. I...

I have 07 4runner V8 w/ tow package, and tranny cooler. I use her to tow my 94 226 all the time, but I never tow farther than 5 miles from my house. If i go on longer trips (rarely - I'll use the expedition. But pound for pound the Toyota V8 kills my expedition in gas mileage. The 4Runner...

thanks all on the input. my lesson was learned - after receivin an $800 bill for being towed back to the docks. selector switch either in 1 or 2 and only both when in an emergency.

I have (2) bats, with a perko selector switch that has positions:1, 2, Both or Off. I was told by SEATOW that I should either select the 1 or 2 when running and cannot switch to another postion when the engine is started and that I should only use the both postion when both bats are too week to...

wanted everyones opinion on cleaning an OB motor. A co-worker of mine swears by spraying his engine down with WD -40 and wipping it down to prevent corrosion. I've never considered this or have attempted. I keep my bote in the water year round and only pull her to clean or repaint the bottom...

have a 94 226: wires to the aft bilge and shurflo are burned out. I noticed it when I went to replace the bilge and the shurflo. I stripped back the wiring jackets and the copper was black and corroded - I tested the voltage after flipping on the switches to the wires and only got 2-3 volts...

upgrading my trailer and replacing rusty galv L-brackets w/ aluminum L-brackets. I want to couple with SS u-bolts. Where can I get them without paying 10 bucks a pop for one? :shock: thanks

My 1999 Johnson 200hp VRO started to automatically trim down when I started her up :( . I was able to counter the trim by switching to opposite trim (UP) -- it stopped the motion and mad her trim up. This has happended on several occasions. I can hear the actual motor come on, so I knopw she...

Question: do the trim tabs operate independent of each other or do they go in opposite direction; meaning that when trimming one down the other retracts? The reason I'm asking is that i was trying to trim both tabs in the down position in order to get more lift at the transom for faster...

Gross Profit, I've spoke to you before on this forum - I'm in the low country and have been looking for someone to clean up the bottom of my boat - send me your contacts info on having the bottom awlgripped. Right now my seafarer is in the water, but she'll be coming out this summer and she'll...

Billy, let me know how hard it is to replace the scuppers when you finish. I have the cheaper looking plastic ones and want to replace before the spring - I just bought my boat as well, 94 226. Did you buy your boat locally or from out of state. I was looking for a 209, 222, 226 or 228...

Got some copper based ablative paint on my tabs and actuators I want to remove. I just bought the 226 boat - the previous owner had the boat professionally bottom painted once, then just slapped on the paint when it started to come off. The paint seems to be just falling off the tabs soince it...

I visisted their web site. They have a sharp looking top for the 226. About how much (ball park) do these things go for? I sent them an e-mail.

Finally pulled the trigger and bought my first boat. A 1994 226 w/ a 2001 Johnson 200hp. The only thing I wish I would have considered was a hardtop. Anyone have any ideas were I could get my hands on a decent hardtop that won't break the bank and look as if it came w/ the boat. If I don't...
