Hi All !

I have a trailer for my 226 that has seen way too much rocks from previous owner and also recently a helpful bro-in-law that dinged up the fender. Needless to say, I am planning to repaint. I am doing research and found that Trailers by Dorsey is no longer in business. I am left thinking ...

Good idea! Normally I would have thought that, but not thinking? I felt like it should have already been considered. I am not comfortable going down the road with it up, then you have to take it down again to garage it. Thanks! Bill

Wondering if anyone had done any performance upgrades to their stock 5.7L Volvo Penta DP? I have a stock 155 hrs, and she does around 54 mph.

Hi ! I am wondering has anyone upgraded their factory standard side mounted shifter control? If so, please let me know what you used. I am so used to Morse control on my previous boat with Merc. This shifter you have to squeeze and it seems awkward/stiff. Going to replace cable and hope that helps ...

Recently purchased a 226 with very low hours. After my second trip out I noticed a sharp pain in the _ _ _ location. It was from a fracture in the base of the seat where the mount is bolted. The fracture is outside of the frame of the mount. Once I hit a good wave I get a nice pain. I need to ...

I recently purchased a 2005 226 Cobalt, and found the drivers seat is fractured at the mounting points. When underway the seat wants to provide a sharp break in the ride - not fun. Evidently I have to buy a new inner shell from Cobalt as it is not a stock item. Wondering if anyone is selling a seat ...
