Yamaha Control Cables OK...apparently the conversion to electronic control isn't possible so how about the Teleflex cables? I don't have access to my boat at the moment (I'm in St. Maarten for the winter) but I know that my cables are silver blue in color. Does Yamaha make their own (or label...

I bought a new F250, new controls, new wiring, but am using the old (original) cables. It just seems hard to shift...especially since I have been running a friend's new 175 Merc. Verado lately with the electronic controls. Amazing! Has anyone ever heard about a conversion to these Mercury...

Kodiak Disc Brakes Just finished installing Kodiak silver cadmium disc brakes on my Loadmaster trailer. I had Tie Down drums and realized that spending one nickle more on drum brakes was pointless. I chose the integral rotor/hub version because I wanted new bearings and seals and this is the...

I have a 228 with the half platform & ladder. I'd like to have the full platform. Maybe we can work out a trade. Where are you located? Thanks, Dan

It runs! I changed the Racors and charged the batteries. It started right up. Tomorrow we seatrial. Anyone want to buy a 2002 Seafarer?

Yes I own and love my Grady but...the other day, while telling fishing lies at the local bar, a guy offered to GIVE me this boat. It's a 1976 Pacemaker 26 Center Console. Twin Cummins 4BT (150 hp each) diesels in a straight inboard setup. It's not running right now but both engines turn over. I...

I have a 228 here in FLL with a 14lb. Delta (polished stainless). It works great! Sets instantly, holds well and is easy to retrieve. I don't do any overnighting but if I did I wouldn't worry. I've used Deltas on several other boats (up to 80 feet) and IMHO they are the best. Cheers, Dan

Hatch Cover I read about a new 228 with an F250 being too heavy at the stern so water came in the scuppers. Grady moved the main tank foward and now the space for the aux. tank was aft. I have an '02 228 Seafarer w/ an F250 and though water does not come in my scuppers I still thought to swap...

Gelcoat Repair Well, I live in Ft. Lauderdale and their are lots of boats here so there are lots of marine repair guys. Somebody in your area sells this stuff. I went to Joe's Auto Marine here and they mixed me a quart (smallest amount they sell) of custom gel coat & hardener (MEKP) for 14...

I simply threaded the male side of the QD onto the hose on the motor and the female side onto the fitting on the motor itself. You have to disconnect the motor hose using the QD and couple your dock hose (also a female QD) to it. When you're done flushing, disconnect the dock hose and recouple...

I am about to install 2 new GW rod holders between the existing gunnel mounted rod holders on my 228 Seafarer. The 2 3/8" hole is supposed to be cut on a 65 degree angle. The Milwaukee hole saw I bought is not designed to cut on an angle. First of all the 1/4" drill bit in the center is too...

No, you don't have to remove the cowling. The flushing hose is below the cowling on the starboard side of the motor (at least on my F250). I have a 228 Seafarer with the motor on a bracket. It is difficult to reach the hose but the quick disconnect makes it bearable. Cheers, Dan

Yamaha Flushing Yamaha 4 stroke owners...you can buy what you need at Home Depot. Melnor is the brand name they sell (they're green) but they are identical to the orange colored fittings they sell at Boaters World. The great thing about these fittings is that they shut the flow of water off...
