    Looking for new set of canvas enclosure for 228

    I had eisenglass on my last 2 sets but I find that it stains/fogs over time and I am not sure of the cause. Is strata-glass any different?

    Looking for new set of canvas enclosure for 228

    And just to be clear. I am not referring to a winter cover. I am looking for the 7-8 pieces that enclose the cockpit on a 228 with hardtop. I would think the best way to do this is to have it send without snaps and attach the snaps on the boat. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

    Need fuse/breaker help

    Actually the rubber caps only detach from the back part of the panel. I did take off the panel and it was a 10 amp. I did not want to rely on the manual because the breaker may have been changed so this was the best way to go... Thanks all..

    I already know the Rule 2000 bilge pump is rated at 8.4 amps and is matched to a 15 amp fuse (which comes in line). My question is what is the amp rating of this push-button breaker already installed on my panel?

    The starboard on the flush mount was cream colored and I believe I installed a screw in each corner. I'll go to the boat later and take some pics. It was a long time ago and I don't remember.
