    226/228 hardtop- can someone measure theirs?

    Zimm; I'll measure mine when I get home. Its the factory hard top. I really don't think you'll want one much shorter. I keep my lifejackets in the factory zipper net attached to the underside of the hardtop.

    Seafarer cockpit light issues

    Thanks, Zimm. I happened to find that site yesterday and went ahead and ordered the breaker. Like you I went ahead and got several. Why did you go with the HT version instead of the HZ that shows in your picture? Playing it safe I just went with the HZ since that's what mine is (10 amp...

    Seafarer cockpit light issues

    Bought a test light during lunch today. Sure enough, breaker is bad. Now I just have to find the right replacement.

    Seafarer cockpit light issues

    Looks like I'm going to be buying a test light. :) Zimm, where did you find the breakers? That sounds like something I should have on hand, just in case. I really hope that's the problem. Trying to chase down the wires through the loom doesn't look like fun, even though it's just a couple...

    Seafarer cockpit light issues

    A little while back my cockpit lights went out (the ones that are actually Attwood stern lights). I never use them so I didn't mess with them until now. I replaced the bulbs. No luck. The units themselves were very corroded so I replaced the whole fixtures. No luck, but they sure are shiny. I...

    Trailer Tires

    I agree with Parthery. After 2 of my Marathons blew out on the way home from Key West a few summers ago, I made the switch to Khumos and have been very happy with them. The extra capacity gives me a little extra peace of mind.

    Battery Size & Brand for 228 Seafarer

    I have two Sears Platinum group 31m batteries (13 inches) on mine. They are tight, but they fit.

    Spreader Lights

    Coastal Night Lights are excellent. Cost and customer service are even better. I have been very happy with mine. They put out an incredible amount of light and don't eat up the battery as fast as the standard lights did. It was just a matter of cutting the old wires and splicing new ones on...

    Putting Up the Canvas without getting a heart attack

    On my Seafarer I get the zippers started, then do the snaps, then finish the zippers. There is too much tension to do the snaps if the zippers are completely shut.

    Outriggers on seafarer

    Yes. I have the Taco 15 ft telescoping poles. I believe they are the smaller 1 1/4 diameter. They've worked very well for me. By having the outriggers set up on the gunnel, they are very easy to manage.

    Outriggers on seafarer

    I used Taco gunnel mounted outriggers. I'll try to get a picture for you. I really like them.

    need cover for 228 seafarer hardtop

    I think this is the one JiminGA is referring to. Reasonably priced and long lasting. I think the one I got is the 26 ft version (I've had it for 6 years so I don't recall) so it fits over the motor.

    Boat ramp in Marathon FL suitable for Marlin

    The ramp in Coco Plum should be able to handle it easily. There's a fee but it's only a couple dollars. I'll see if I can find the info on it.

    Parts Assist Pls

    The direct replacement for my transom shower was from Scandvik. A quick search should turn up lots of options for you. I know Defender carries Scandvik as do others such as Jamestown Distributors. But yes, I think you will need to order the full assembly.

    Parts Assist Pls

    You can get the switches at Digi-Key. The switch for the dome light with red and clear bulbs is #522PB-ND. The one for the spreader lights is #512PB-ND. That is assuming you have the same switches as I do on my 228. If your fresh water sink uses the same assembly as my fresh water wash down...

    Dehumidifier/moisture

    I use the hanging DampRid bag (the one designed to hang in a closet). Fairly inexpensive, works for a month or so and smells great.

    Replacing Snaps

    That's the tool I use and I love it. The problem comes from the snaps corroding. Snap lube seems to help.
