Thank you for the info There are no markings on the hoses any longer. And yes, I do have the old crappy copper lines run from the helm to the transom.

Yeah that's the plan, I was hoping somewhere here knew which replacement hose it is. I linked two I thought it may be.

I have a 2000 228 Seafarer with Seastar hydraulic steering. I noticed one of my lines looks heavily damaged by UV. Would you replace these? If so, which size/line do I use to replace them? Here are two I found...

Vastly overpriced, if it had a newer motor with low hours and a hard top I could maybe see that asking price

Good suggestions everyone, I will order some Butyl tape and a new rubber hatch seal. TY

My 228 seems to be getting water in the cabin during heavy rain falls. I suspect it's coming from the center square hatch. I don't believe it's the rubber seal but more of the bedding of the hatch. Anyone else experience this before? Do I have to re-bed the entire thing?

Does anyone know if is this is the proper replacement? Currently it's the original unit https://bennetttrimtabs.com/product/euro-style-hydraulic-rocker-switch/

Sorry I wasn't clear about this. If I hit both UP or both DOWN, the fuse blows. Next time I'm at the beach I will manually inspect the tabs. Thanks for the idea. The only reason I suggested putting a larger fuse in, I was wondering what the default amperage was supposed to be for the tabs. I'm...

Hey folks, I have a strange issue going on with my 2000 228 Seafarer's trim tabs. If I hit the port or starboard tab individualli they work fine. If I hit BOTH tabs simultaneously up or down, I blow the 20AMP fuse in the block under the helm. Anyone have experience with this? Should I be using...

A ton of great info here everyone, thank you very much. I went with the 10" 8610xsv. I think it'll fit a lot better and look more cohesive. Thanks again!

Got any pictures? I'd love to see it installed

I'm thinking about returning the unit and getting a 10" GPSMAP® 8610xsv With Mapping and Sonar DIMENSION 10.25" x 8.0625" x 2.95" (25.9 cm x 20.5 cm x 7.5 cm) https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/799185/pn/010-02091-51#specs I think it'll fit in there better plus it's all touch screen. I will...

2000

This is helpful but my console is different, different than yours. What year is your boat? Mine is a 2000.

I'm looking to upgrade my electronics on my 2000 228 Seafarer. I ordered the GPSMAP 1242xsv: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/561847 to flush mount in the console. Now that I have the template, it looks prettttty frickin' tight. Not sure it's going to fit properly. These are the dimensions...

It's a real process. Getting the original stripes off is a real pain. You need a few plastic scrapers, a heat gun, and goo be gone. I would say the most important thing to do is take your time. It took about three days for a few hours at a shot.
