I found a used Yamaha 225 with all the controls and cables to replace the tired old Johnson 200 on my 1988 Seafarer. The Yamaha has 785 hours on it and is listed as a left hand rotation engine. Could you please tell me some of the issues of this engine I can look for?

Our Seafarer is powered by a 2000 Johnson 200 Ocean Pro. While winterizing it the other day, the engine was really hard to start and ran rough when running. Engine would only run with the throttle advanced in neutral. After warm up, the engine ran up over 7000 rpm's on it's own and would not...

The fuel sender in the 95 gallon fuel tank of our 1988 Seafarer needs to be replaced. Does anyone know the depth of the tank so I can order the correct sending unit ? I can't remove the sender without first removing the forward floor panel, so I am trying to get this information before my next...

Well, we finally got to launch "Dads Girl" Saturday and the big thirsty 1999 Johnson 200 ran great with one issue. The power tilt lowers the engine but will not raise it. I switched the relays for raise and lower, but no help. Neither the switch on the control lever or engine will raise it only...

The drain plug on the bottom of the Grady bracket on our 1988 Seafarer will not come out. Would there be a problem if I drill a hole next to it and install a drain plug similar to what is used on the transom drain ? I believe our bracket was made by Springfield back in the day.

I remember reading some posts here before about Yamaha V6 lower engine pan corrosion. The new literature I picked up Saturday at the Ocean City MD. boat show states that the pans are made of a composite material. Is this a change that was made lately or are only certain models made that way?

Now that Yamaha has had their new 200 in-line four out for some time is there anyone who has some real world experience with this new engine? We are thinking of a repower for our 228G.

Our 1988 228G is due for a repower. We now have a 1994 Evinrude 200 on it now (fuel hog), and was wondering if anyone has tried this boat with the new Yamaha four cylinder F200 four stroke. Top speed is not a real issue but I need to know if this engine has enough low end torque to move this boat.

We just put our 228G Seafarer on a new dual axle roller type trailer. What should the proper tongue weight be to eliminate sway?

I have a chance to buy a galvanized cox roller trailer to replace the float-on bunk trailer we now use on our 228G Seafarer. Does anyone use one of these trailers, are replacement parts available? I heard that Cox does not build boat trailers any longer, just utility trailers.

While winterizing our 1988 228g, I discovered that the hoses from the floor drains to the transom scuppers need to be replaced. Does anyone know the I.D of these hoses and are they made of something special since they seem to be wire wrapped. Thanks for the input.

Dadsgirl, our 1988 Seafarer, is in need of a repower. Currently we have a 1996 Evinrude 200 on a Grady Drive bracket. Mercury makes the Verado in both a four cylinder and six cylinder version. Besides the cylinders what is the difference and would a four stroke perform the same as our old two...

Yesterday, while fishing offshore on our Seafarer, we ran with the battery selector switch set on #1. After drifting for about three hours with the GPS and VHF on we headed for shore. The engine cranked over fine. We stopped again about a mile from the inlet and fished again. The engine barely...

We bought our 1988 Seafarer used a few years ago from a less than careful owner , and we are still trying to restore her. Inside the storage compartment on the starboard side it looks like there used to be a pump mounted. The only thing left there is the pump bracket, a hose, and a couple of...
