Blackened Coho Salmon with a Cucumber Dill Sauce to cool it down.

Hey everyone, Purchased a new to me 2007 226 towards the end of the season last year and was looking for some tips on rod holders for long lines. We fish the Great Lakes for Salmon and Steelhead. I fish down riggers, dipsy divers and planer boards in the spring and add copper and lead core...

Hey everyone, About to add a 3G Lowrance Radar Dome to my 2007 226 hardtop. I'm just over 12 feet now from the top of my rocket launcher to the ground while on the trailer. I would really like to mount the radar dome on a bracket to elevate however I want to make sure I stay under the maximum...

Geaybeard, Did you ever get this resolved. I have a 226 with the same issue. The gallons used is working fine however the bar graph showing remaining shows empty (no lights lit on bar graph). There is no resetting that. Sounds like im having the same issue. Thanks

Looking to have an autopilot installed on my 226. Was looking at the Raymarine Evolution Autopilot system. At 1st Raymarine suggested the T70157 which has a Type 1 hydraulic pump however suggested that I contact them with the serial number off of my Sea Star steering system before purchasing...

Bill, I sent you a PM

Well.....Finally started to rig my new 226 for Great Lake Salmon fishing. Was lucky enough to have a few friends come by and give a lending hand. It's a 2007 with very low hours and beyond clean...I hope to end that with some Coho scales and blood soon. Boy I wish this season was just starting...

I have to mount 6 rod holders on the tube however I need adjustment AFTER they are mounted. I want to be able to angle them out to fish in-line planer boards and them fold them up to get my mooring cover on without having to modify the cover. So far these Big Jon's seem like the best choice...

Dennis, Thanks for the tip. Worked great. Said I would post results. Larger tube - Actual OD - 1.9 Smaller tube - Actual OD - 1.3 Big Jon makes a nice clamp on rod holder thats adjustable after mounted. They will machine for accurate fit. Thanks again Jim

Hey everyone, I recently bought a 2007 226 with a hardtop and I'm looking to mount some clamp on rod holders onto the tubes that support the hardtop. The rod holders I'm interested in require machining so I want to make sure I have the correct diameter. I have searched for other posts on the...

Eric, It does have the fuel management system. Thanks for the reply. I guess after filling and resetting a few times I will start to build up faith in the accuracy when comparing the pump to the gauge. Thanks again

Hey Everyone, Recently purchased a 2007 Seafarer 226 and was trying to determine how much fuel is in both tanks. The boat is equipped with an electronic Tachometer gauge and next to it is a Speed and Fuel meter gauge. I have the quick reference guide but for the most part that seems worthless...

bbbagman, I have a Humminbird (combo unit) and added a Lowrance HDS7 Gen 2. I was told it would be best to run them on the opposite frequency of each other?? Either way, no interference at all. I typically use the Humminbird as my chart plotter and the Lowrance for my sonar.The sonar on the HDS...

I'm sure most of you guys have seen where you can pull up the old catalogs. Pretty cool to go back and see the catalog for the year and model you own or are thinking about buying. Go to the link below and select the year. You do not have to enter your name, email, etc. Just click continue and...

Here is a picture of my Hewescraft. GREAT fishing machine but time for something larger. On the south end of Lake Michigan it's not unusual to go out 15-20+ miles in search of Salmon during the summer months. Cant wait to be doing this on the new boat.... Jim

Harley, I appreciate the response. Quick question......It sounds like your riggers are mounted directly to the gunwale, correct? Meaning that your not using the flush mount rod holders and gimbal mounts. After I dig into this further and further it seems like mounting directly is the better...

Hey everyone, New to site and completing purchase of 2007 226 powered with a Yamaha 225. I troll on Lake Michigan for Salmon/Steelhead and have been doing so in an 18 foot Hewescraft for the past 7 years. Have always admired GW's and cant wait to get her on the water. Also fish the...

I have a friend that named his boat "small craft warning" everytime he is on the radio everyone else freaks out because they hear the phrase none of us want to hear.
