Thks. I've got a slip and keep it at a marina year-round.

Hey folks. I've got an '06 225 Tournament. Am considering moving up to a 275 or 285 Freedom. I am a Long Island Sound guy. Any thoughts on major differences in 275/285 and whether the 275 is enough boat for some of the rougher days we get here?

FYI I used some Carbon fiber (4mm) to cover radio home because opening was a mess.

I have a hole in my dash where an old stereo remote is located. Was thinking about taking it out but not sure how to cover up the hole. Any interesting ideas?

I have the same issue with my 22’ being blown around at the dock. Best guess is that it is impact damage - no argument there! My hope is to move on to a freedom 275/285 in another year or so. I will check this out as best as I can and probably work to fill in the cracks.

Understood and I get it. Just trying to get some kind of feedback here, but recognize limitations. Thks.

Folks - I’ve read plenty about cracks and how to repair, etc. What I can’t tell, though, is whether what I have is something of concern or cosmetic. Pics attached. Pls let me know what you think.

Thanks. My OB is mounted on an OB mount, not transom. I don't know whether there is an option to raise it but will check it out - thanks. I had thought there might be an adjustment for how far it tilts, but am not certain about this.

Thanks. I will look for Hydro Eco. Bilge is clear, and hadn't really thought about moving things forward. Not a lot i can do in that regard but will keep it in mind - thanks!

Even at full tilt, the last few inches of my outboard are in the water. Anyone have suggestions for a particular paint to use to protect?

i'm around a year or two behind you. Have an '06 225. Love it but need more. Looking forward to seeing some responses here.

Yamaha mechanic at Britannia out in Northport is top notch.

Got new ones from Taco and they are solid. still have pins but i don't anticipate them coming loose. Not any time soon. I have to some real credit here to Great Lakes for the bimini. It is a true stock replacement. My stock glass/plastic enclosure fits and zips up perfectly. Exact stock...

That’s right and that’s what I got. Thks!

TACO has a mount that accepts the 90 degree ball mount. Works great.

The old set has Allen screws, but the new is like a Rivet. I could prob just drill it out and replace with a set up like the old one. Still going to try to sort this out.

2005 tournament 225. Got a replacement Bimini. Looks great. But, original connection was with a “blade” type of tube end and new Bimini came with a 90 degree outside eye end. Any idea how the 90 degree fitting attaches? What kind of mount is needed for this? Pic of old and new attached. Thks...

Thanks, all. This is very helpful.
