Thanks for all the advice, I will use the Lucas marine grease on the sliders.

Hello, I just received my upgraded Pompanette helm chairs from Seafarah and was wondering what is recommended for lubricant on the seat sliders? Thanks, Don

I found a similiar dead end water hose on my 2012 Suzuki DF250 and traced it to the lower leg pitot pickup for the old style analog speed gauges. It was squirting saltwater under the cowling which rusted hose clamps and other brackets so I removed, powder coated and replaced a bunch of stuff and...

Well kinda but just curious how to be certain? We have emailed numerous times, we made initial contact as he said he had some items for sale on this site, I did notice he is a relatively new member so not sure of his history. I have his address and phone number, I guess I should just try to call...

A few years ago I had a similar issue when putting the boat in the water for the first time after winter storage. Went to the lake put the boat in the water, tied to the dock, parked the truck, jumped in the boat and all I got was a clicking sound. Tried for a bit, pulled the boat out back on...

I have a very good friend that was a car/truck mechanic for almost 40 years, I asked him why boats need much more RPM to reach far less speed than a vehicle. He explained that a boat is under constant load due to the resistance of water on the hull. So technically an outboard is always working...

Hello, I was wondering if someone with more experience than me can lend some insight into purchasing from someone advertising on this site. There is a little more degree of difficulty in that I’m on the west coast of Canada and I would like to buy from someone on the east coast of the US. I have...

Awesome looking chairs but unfortunately too big for my Seafarer. But I would be interested in used Pompanette Premier Helm seats if someone is thinking of upgrading to these seats, thanks.

Will give that a try, I did notice that the device list only shows the Lowrance details now but previously showed the Suzuki Interface in the list, thanks

Awesome thanks for that, much appreciated! Yes us Canucks sure get hosed on some of the US shipping costs.

Actually yes, the boat had a Garmin external GPS antenna on the hardtop when I bought the boat, I never plugged it into anything until I setup the NMEA backbone. Do you think that Garmin GPS is interfering with the Lowrance HDS and the NMEA network? The previous owner left the Garmin GPS...

Luckily my boat lives in my shop when not on the water so rodents shouldn’t be an issue as the cables and everything are only 3 months old. I did make sure the key was on when checking the device list for the Suzuki Interface recognition and rec-checked all the connections ie SDS to SMIS to NMEA...

Now that we are on the NMEA 2000 network topic, I bought the Suzuki SDS to SMIS cable then the Suzuki Interface cable (yes the correct software version for my 2012 DF250). I plugged it all in, fired up the motor in the driveway back in March and everything worked fine on my Lowrance HDS, I could...

Awesome thanks, not cheap $80 for 2 oz, I wonder why the paste didn’t come up in my first search.

I have some small nicks as well in my gel coat but I didn’t see where you can purchase just the 2oz paste, I could only see the quart size for $375 that looks like it comes with the 2oz paste. I’m up in Canada so I wonder if it’s a different website with different options.

I have a Suzuki DF250 on my 1999 228 Seafarer and I think it’s a perfect match, great hole shot and lots of mid range torque, I can’t imagine anything less

I have a 1999 228 and I installed mine in the clamshell that Lucky mentioned

Thanks, we built the house first 22 years ago and then the barn a year after, which you can see in the background. But with Covid and the upswing in prices I have to admit that the shop costs were way more than I planned. Your shop looks great and will give you years of use, it’s just...

Yes we dug the hole, poured the footing then built the 22 inch foundation and poured, back filled, framed and then poured the concrete slab. I didn't realize your shop was post framed, that makes sense now, thanks.

Great job, it’s interesting to see different framing techniques, it looks like your original walls were 4x4 on 4ft or 5ft centers. Up here on the west coast of Canada north of Seattle, I recently built a shop for my boat and toys and tools and I went with 2x6 on 16 inch centres, 14 ft walls...
