Headed out for a solo day gamefishing. Hooked a nice little blue marlin but it threw the hooks soon after. The weather and dolphins alone were worth the trip.

Don’t be put off by high engines hours. A motor that is used regularly and looked after is often a better choice than a motor that was used infrequently. 2000hrs+ is common.

You should be able to find the best way to do it here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0kDqq-pSzdqFUk3oTaHBuA

There isn’t a particular mix that is perfect. As a boat ages the gel coat fades so each boat’s gel coat is a slightly different colour. A fibreglassing shop may be able to mix a colour to suit if the have access to the boat.

Oh yes, there are people like that.

I’m looking to flush mount a 16” TZT3. I cut out a template and it should just fit. I would love a 19” but I think it would be too big. I prefer one larger than 2 smaller ones. If you had two 8” units together they will be wider than a16” unit. The 16” unit will be higher than the 8” units so...

A big plus for the 228 is it doesn't have the aluminium transom bang cap which is a well known cause of wet transoms.

I have the Fell Marine. No complaints or issues. Easy install

These dropped straight into my 2006 Seafarer. It's from an Australian site but gives the measurements, in metric sorry. https://www.boataccessoriesaustralia.com.au/polished-stainless-steel-drink-holder-with-drain

I don't think the cracks were the cause but are due to an already wet core expanding as it froze.

Yes Tr Yes.

I thought the same. I have a feeling mine have the same. I’ll look next time I’m at the boat.

I had some anodised aluminium brackets made. No need to weld mounting plates which means removing the fibreglass top and removing the wiring from the tube being welded. Extremely strong.

Are they cracks or scratches do do with the welding process.? Are you sure they weren't there before? If you look at the edge of the of the aluminium plate in photo 1 do the cracks extend into the plate?

Looking at the photographs the walk around width looks the same as a 228 meaning you would need to move all the vertical support in a substantial amount the retain the walk around space on a 228. That is a lot of cutting and welding to make it fit. I am thinking a custom made one may be cheaper.

In June last year it was announced that Yamaha would be producing Sharrow Propellors by casting instead of CNC. Was expecting the price to drop significantly. But it hasn’t. Wondering if Yamaha is producing for new boats rigged with Yamaha outboards only. The attached article has a photograph...

Questions were for the OP.

So when you say it is leaning from one side to another does the bow continue to track straight or is the boat weaving? If it is weaving then it sounds like bow steering. More weight towards the transom trim tabs up a motor trimmed out would help. If the boat is tracking straight does it occur...

They do have a 30 day return policy for either another prop size or full refund.
