    Radar Mounting

    I have purchased a Radar Mount and Radar for my Seafarer 22. I have a Bimini top not a hard top so I'm looking for advise on how high I need to set the Radar at to clear the Bimini Top. I have read about 8 inches? Does anyone else have this setup and can give me some advise? Thanks, John

    Gauge Identification

    I bought a 87 Seafarer where I am fixing everything up but I'm confused with one of the gauges. One says Water, the other Temperature. I'm sure the one that says Temperature is the engine temp, but the other says water and the dial only goes to 35. It has a small hose that goes to the engine...

    Bilge Pump on GW 1987 Seafarer 22

    Before I try to access my bilge pump, I was hoping someone else has done this because it seems a bit radical. The way I see it, you have to take the Live Well out to get under to the bottom of the boat where the pump is. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

    Electrical Bus Bar for a 1992 Seafarer

    I was looking for some information on my Seafarer's Bus Bar, particularly the amperage rating.

Thanks for...

    Trim Tabs

    I just completed an install of Lenco's 12 x 12 Trim Tabs to my Seafarer 22. I'm not sure how much it would have cost to have them installed, but I'm glad I did it myself because it wasn't that difficult. Can't wait to test them out.

    1992 GW Seafarer 22 Trim Tab Instalation

    I was hoping someone has installed trim tabs on a GW Seafarer and could help me in the placement of the tabs. I have seen other installs where they say 3 to 4 inches from the edge of the boat, but these boats don't have the hull design as the GW. Thanks for any advise, John

    Ramp and Clamp

    I just finished up installing a Ramp N Clamp to my trailer, where I keep my 1992 Seafarer 22. I also installed steps so I can get on my boat's bow after putting it in the water. I will testing this out next week and was wondering if anyone else has used this Ram N Clamp on their boat. Cheers
