On a positive note, I did pull 64mph on gps this weekend with a full tank and a little chop:-) I love this Boat!!

Thanks for the advise .... I will check this .

Wow! Do you have to pull the engine to fix this?

Thanks for the info. Is the pic in the back of the engine compartment? Is there parts removed ? I do notice it only binds in certain spots. I will definitely inspect with the cover up and turning the wheel. I probably should have checked that first. It’s tough because I have it slipped and when we g...

Hello everyone, I bought this boat last yr and don’t remember it steering hard. It has 450 hours on it , and has been well maintained. I have checked the fluid and it was a little low at temp. I added a little and it is still a little hard. It is more noticeable at very slow speed. Could this be the...

This is what I have at the moment! Looks wet this weekend in Maine:-(

I’m going to explain something that happend to me today .. before anyone asks if I was drunk I will tell you I wasn’t. The weather in Maine has been very unseasonably warm(88) we took the boat out today. When getting above 50mph water was kind of spraying out from under the steering wheel. At first ...

Good read and get the impeller changed and outdrives done if not recent.. I do mine yearly.. I've tried k&n filters as opposed to the standard flame aresster.. No difference in performance But it does cancel out the whistle the iac port makes on most 8.1. 2600 rpm to 3300 rpm Impeller, outdrive...

I'm also wondering if I should replace the spark arrestor? Unfortunately I don't know a lot about the marine side of the 8.1 .. should I replace ...

It does have the Volvo.. I did some looking on line with part #s on the props.. they are the F8's I'm fine with going local on the interior.. the Bimini is the most important thing (to my wife and kids) lol. I'm running about 4,800 wot. I'm not looking to spend a pile of money to go 2 miles a hr fas...

Another question, does anyone know what the stock prop setup is? With 5 people and a full tank I'm getting 61-62 on gps.

Thanks guys, I'm very happy to find this package. The boat handles the big stuff very well for the size. We have a slip on a very nice lake in Maine (Great Pond) we did take it out on the ocean this weekend...again awesome!!! Thanks for the info on the tops..I see they say that the hardware is provi...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and would like to introduce myself. My name is Pat and I live in Maine (Central) I just picked up what I think to be a unique and rare optioned 2002 227.. I say rare because it has the big 8.1 , captains call, trim tabs ,deluxe paint etc.. I'm pretty sure when they had t...
