Thanks again for the info, this forum has an answer for just about everything. If you ever make it out to Oregon, look me up and I'll take you fishing. Cheers

Thanks, and I do remember now the ordeal you went through. Appreciate the tip on using a bit of soapy water and going slow.

Where you able to find a replacement window gasket? If so, where did you find it? Thanks

I was hoping you would reply, thanks. What did you use to buff out the hull and top side of your boat? Also, I am guessing you removed all the wax where the decals go prior to installing them? Did you wax over them after installation, any other tips you could share before I install them? Thanks

I am doing this at the moment on my 228. The erasure wheel works well, but be ADVISED that you can easily burn your gel coat. I used the erasure wheel for about 3 feet and it works, but now I have to wet sand out some burn marks that will not buff out. I ended up using a heat gun (carefully)...

So I ended up getting a pair of these batteries, I hope they work out. Specifications Part Number24M-AGM-A Group Size24 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)750 Cranking Amps (CA)937 Reserve Capacity (RC)140 minutes Amp Hours (Ah)70 Length10 1/4 inches Width6 13/16 inches Height8 7/8 inches Termination...

I thought it was just transom and stringers.

Great, that answers my question. I keep my boat out of the water with no draw on the batteries. I have the ACR breaker that I trip so I think in theory there is not draw. Battery charge has not been an issue until the one died.

Appreciate your insight on this. What are your thoughts on a solar battery maintainer, good or bad? Thanks

I'm on the Oregon coast, so heat is not an issue. Sounds like I should just go with the starting batteries. Thanks

The Centennial's are a dual purpose batteries that my local marine store carries. I am not thrilled with them as I had one stop holding a charge after a few months (replaced under warranty). We are going into the 3rd season for them and I guess I expected a bit more time. I normally have my...

I am needing to replace my batteries in my 228 as one of them will not hold a charge and I do not trust the other. I am currently running group 24 centennial rv/marine batteries which only lasted 3 seasons. They barely meet the specs for a 2001 ox66 225 hp motor. What are you guys running in...

My only concern is if you get some sort of debris stuck in there, it's going to be a pain to clear. Other than that, it looks like a viable solution.

+1 for Burnewiin.

I get them from amazon, sounds like it might be time. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH12Y7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My through hulls are bronze, not plastic like the ones pictured in the link.

No, you just replace the flapper.

Interesting, here is what I replace mine with. I think it is worth a shot, since it's so easy and only a few dollars. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH12Y7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lucky, I replace the black perko flaps in the scupper every year. I know it might sound excessive, but those things dry out and do not seal well then. I get a tiny bit of water but not enough to ever worry about.

I just replaced my deck drains on my 228 as the original drain pipes where split. What a pain in the A$$ but totally doable and necessary. I also replace the hose clamps on all other through hole fittings as several were rusted off. I went ahead and replaced them with the current stainless...

On my 228, you can put 8-10 albacore depending on the size in the hold behind the drivers seat with plenty of ice. You can get 4-6 behind the passenger seat with ample ice. I have put 3 40-46" halibut in the one behind the drivers seat with ice. I also carry 2 reliable bags that will hold...
