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.

I’m looking for a bit more range to turn a 1.5 day gamefishing trip into a full 2 days. So a Sharrow prop may be the difference between installing an auxiliary fuel tank or not. Running back to port on those 15 to 20kn afternoons I find planing speed a little too fast and so I’m having to be on...

Definitely Grady cream.

My 2006 228 has a box in the cabin to access the back of the electronics. Can’t remember if you can access the fuel/speed gauge.

Interesting bottom paint job. Couldn’t work out why the bow eye looked so low.

I know your pain.

Really suggest getting your own survey. Best money you can spend when buying a used boat. The older the boat is the more important.

With my 228 when I am trailering I have 4 in the vertical rod holders in front of the live bait tank. Two in the holders under the gunwales. The others gunwale holders hold gaffs and a tag pole. Four in the cabin roof holders and the rest on the cabin bunk. For longer rods in the cabin I also...

You could cut a hole below and drop a stainless steel cup holder in.

I used clamps to go around the hardtop tubing. You could use u-bolts. If you are mounting straight through the hardtop I think overtime you will get stress fractures from flexing.

I have my 228 on a Loadrite bunk trailers with carpet on the bunks. I have bottom paint and that isn’t wearing off where the bunks slide. For launching I have about an 8ft rope attached to the winch post and bow roller. I back in until I see the stern start to float and with a slight touch on...
