Hey OCJOY, PM me if you find a source for the mast light. We caught ours on a low hanging cable tv wire last fall while pulling the boat out. I would really appreciate it!!!

OCJOY, Look on the Perko web site, you will find an exact replacement there like I did. I caught mine on a low hanging cable TV cable last month and it took it clean off the windshield mount and all.

I used 3M marine restorer & wax one step. The label said for heavily oxidized finishes. This stuff actuall works, but requires a lot of elbow grease. I applied it by hand covering only about a two foot square area at a time. After I was done I applied a top coat of wax. Made our 1988 Seafarer...

When we bought our 1988 Seafarer some years back it had stale fuel from sitting around a couple years. I bought a cheap automotive electric fuel pump, attached two hoses to it, removed the fuel tank float assembly, and drained the tank from there. I was able to reach all the corners of the tank...

We bought our 1988 228G about six years ago from an owner who basically used it and put it away. It took loads of elbow grease to make her look good again. Ours is powered by an Evinrude 200, could use a little bit more power. Just plan on going over all the systems and spending a few bucks. All...

Our 1988 228g was starting to look a little rough due to previous owner neglect. We have owned this boat for about six years years now and a seasonal waxing never seemed to make much difference. This year we did the entire boat with 3M marine restorer & wax p/n 09005, and followed up with one...

At our John Deere dealer we make hydraulic hoses and Parker hose makes a kevlar protective covering that we slip over the hose and secure with plastic wire ties. This covering works great over anchor chain on our Seafarer 228G.

Hey BlackGrady, great looking boat. Are ya gonna keep her on the Indian River? Maybe we'll see ya this summer. We run Dadsgirl out of Whites Creek.

We use Bob's Marine on Rt 26 in Millville, about three miles west of Bethany Beach, great people to deal with !!!

I'm thinking the pump should have been for fresh water faucet located port side. I'll check wires against my owners manual. I don't think this was added later. Thanks for the input. Dadsgirl Indian River, DE

We bought our 1988 Seafarer used a few years ago from a less than careful owner , and we are still trying to restore her. Inside the storage compartment on the starboard side it looks like there used to be a pump mounted. The only thing left there is the pump bracket, a hose, and a couple of...

I remove GPS, radio, fish finder, and compass from our 228G. I saved the original boxes for winter storage. Also remove cushions and store in the basement.

Elmo, I can tell you about our 1988 Seafarer. Ours has the full transom with a bracket mounted 200 Evinrude two stroke. This seems to be a good horsepower combination, although the engine is a bit thirsty. Old style hull is a little bit wet and will take some spray over the windshield if not...

We tow our 1988 228G with a 2001 Tahoe with 5.3 ltr V8 & 4wd. Our aluminum float on trailer came without brakes so stopping is an issue but the Tahoe does just fine.

Mariner Engine We had a Mariner 135 on our old Ebbtide. It was basically a Merc painted grey. Remove the cowl and the cylinder block was painted black. We bought ours new from a Mercury dealer and also had it serviced there.

We checked both Boat US and a small local insurance co. Both quotes have an "agreed value". Boat US did not ask for a survey, but requested several photos. Dadsgirl
