    Autopilot for seafarer 223

    Tom, Do you have the ST6001 or ST8001 unit? These S1G packs are on closeout now and I may grab one and install it next spring before launch. I've seen the ST6001 S1G pack for around 1k Bill

    Props for 265 with 225 4 strokes

    The only thing I've seen is that there are a few times when I wish I could plane a couple kts slower in the slop. We did a long offshore run again last weekend and ended up running back thru 4-6' seas for awhile. 22-24 kts would've been ideal but the boat wants to run 24-26 kts and we were...

    Head Pump not sucking in water

    Found my manual. It's a 29090-2000 and is self-priming so I guess I need a seal assy on the pump handle. Do I have to get Jabsco parts direct from them?

    MAKING THE DEAL

    I put $1000 down on a brokered boat last spring prior to sea trial. This is a good faith thing but I don't see why 10% is reqd.

    Head Pump not sucking in water

    I tried pouring water down the white tube to the bowl Sunday night after we got in from fishing. Didn't resolve the issue. I'll have to dig around for the manual and check the priming procedure. I'm paranoid of the electric units. Would rather fix the Jabsco if I can ...

    Just-in Time, Can you post how to calibrate the fuel management gage? Or I can send a PM with my email but seems like others could use the info too. Thx, Bill

    Head Pump not sucking in water

    It's a raw water feed. It sounds like I have to start pulling hoses. Not looking forward to it

    Head Pump not sucking in water

    The head on my 265 isn't pulling in water the last couple times we used it. Seacock is open and the lever was flipped over but nothing comes up. It will drain but had to put some freshwater in to rinse it down. Any ideas on this? Bill

    What should I do?

    If you like the boat as much as you say then you should probably try to bump them up another couple grand just to see where they'll go with it then settle. Either way, Good Luck! I'd hate to be in that position. Bill

    What should I do?

    IMO it's worth 5k just to put a number on it. But, if you put another 600 hrs on them (150 x 4) how marketable is the boat then with 2k hrs on the engines? Just another way to look at it. If they argue with the 5k just say I'll drop it off for you to re-sell.

    I've been fishing in Mass for BFT with some buddies for the last couple weekends but made the first canyon trip this year on my boat Saturday. With full fuel, 2 big guys and my buddies girlfriend, a LOT of fishing gear gear plus the raft and ditch bag, 100 lbs of ice and food. Running out we...

    Keeping fresh water.... fresh

    Thanks for the info. Surprised your boat would have that much slime in one year. Mines an '02. It's going to get the bleach treatment this w/e

    Keeping fresh water.... fresh

    The prior owner rarely used the FW on my boat so the tank has a lot of green slime in it. Would the bleach clean this out? I was actually thinking of pulling the tank out to flush it but maybe this is the thing to do.

    I think this highlights how hard it it to shop for a used boat. Some people just go out and buy the first one they see but others analyze every detail and it can get painful. That being said, if it were me I'd offer 71.5k for the '05. When you get that close there's always some middle ground...

    Just the fact that it's year newer is proably worth 4-5k. Lower hours are worth something too. Maybe 8-9k difference in value.
