Seasick gave you some excellent advice. I will attempt to add some additional precautions that may prevent the brake problem. The Florida Marine Patrol has long advocated washing the brake assembly with fresh water and applying liberal amounts of WD-40 after each contact with salt water. They...

Check Redmad Marine, Pacific Yacht Towers, and Atlantic Towers. I have been checking and Pacific has the better value in my opinion but something sticks in my craw, California expects one to pay sales tax to them on an out of state order. Let me know how you do. Bob

I have owned a trawler. Never again. From experience, yes you could tow, preferably with a bridle. But, every time you slow that wonderful GW is going to ram your stern until your swim platform and the glass on the Grady is ruined. Buy an aluminum john boat with a small outboard. It won't be...

I keep mine in a boat storage barn at a marina in Panama City, Florida. Sun is worse than salt on a boat. West Marine will gladly help you part with some cash for cleaning products. You might want to get a produce called Salt-a-Way. You can use it to flush your motor and wash the boat. Boaters...

LO listen to your uncle.

I got a price from a dealer in NW Florida of "about 10,000.00." This was last week. I also got an approximate price from a fabricator in Panama City, Florida of "about 3,600.00." Anybody got a picture of a GW with a fabric T-top?

All the replies are valid. Most individuals think that gelcoat is a non porous barrier. It is not. I have worked with fiberglass since my tour in the USCG in the early sixties. I will offer you this: Check for any thru hull fittings that may be leaking. Or maybe from the deck area through rod...

Check Yamaha trim problem, that is at the moment posted under your posts. There some good trouble shooting guides. I would like to know how much the gauges cost. You can post a reply or send me an email at rcrudder@gmail.com. I suspect that I will have to replace both on my 200 Yamaha. Thanks Bob

Still no luck on the trim indicator. I will check the continuity of the sender when I have a helper. Meanwhile, the fuel indicator will show full at most times. It only shows a slight indication of fuel quantity used when in truth it is almost empty. Any suggestions? On a more positive note, I...

I did that and sprayed it with Corrosion Block. It did not help. It will really be a pain to pull it out and take to a dealer or have the dealer on the water take a look and pay the price.

Seabob4 and Parthery, I have returned from the coast and my boat. I purchased the 15.00 replacement part and the mechanic assured me that the plastic arm was probably broken and to replace it with the metal unit. Imagine my dissappointment when I found that the plastic arm was not broken but in...

Thanks, I will get on this next week. My 228 is in Panama City. Is your boat on Lake Lanier?

So, cowling off and where? In front, side, or back? Thanks for the info. Bob

I have a 1999 HPDI 200 Yami. The trim position indicator on the gauge does not work. The previous owner said he purchased from a dealer the replacement part, whatever that was, and after installation still could not get it adjusted properly. Where does the gauge on the dash get its trim position...

No stupid questions. I have an SV2 hull and it is very very dry. GW talks about a three chine hull. Whatever it means it is good.

I would choose three and start my own project.

I have a '99 228 that has a SeaV2 certification sticker on the windshield.
