    Uploading Images

    Hi All, I've been uploading images as attachments and they are going up full sized which makes them very hard to view. I can use the two step process of uploading a picture to a public folder on Photobucket and then linking to it with the IMG tags. That seems to work. I'm just curious if...

    Running Power from helm switches to port-side gunwale?

    It doesn't go all the way up (see photo) but it is really tight against the outer hull with no gaps that I can find. I think it might be sealed of not adhesive sealed against the hull. I always try to do things without cutting/drilling if possible, that's why I'm kind of pushing this search...

    Running Power from helm switches to port-side gunwale?

    Thanks man... I saw it. I'm good getting the wire through that rigging tube, its getting it from the end of that tube to the inside of the liner under the gunwale. The only path I have found so far (thanks to responses here and THT) is to go back to the stern and through that end of the...

    THE FINER POINTS OF YAMAHA WATER PUMP REPAIR: QUESTIONS

    Just did my 2001 Yamaha 175HPDI. I left the shifter in neutral when I removed it. I was having a bitch of a time getting it back in. The shift rod just wasn't allowing the lower unit to insert far enough. I knew it was the shift rod because if I intentionally moved the shift rod to the side...

    Running Power from helm switches to port-side gunwale?

    Thanks for all the responses. Gives me a lot to think about. I like the idea of going down to the stern and up through that way. If I remember correctly the rod holder openings go right through the liner, so either through one of those or drilling another hole would work. Especially since I...

    Running Power from helm switches to port-side gunwale?

    Hi All, Does anyone have any experience running power wires from the helm switches of a Grady White (Adventure 208 specifically) to the port side gunwale? I'd like to install a LED light strip but I don't think there is an existing way to run a wire up through the boat liner. I know where the...

    Wiper Insert for 2001 GW 208 Adventure

    Thanks for the reply guys... I found the ANCO replacement which includes the rails and rubber insert. You were right it's not a 13" it's actually a 14". See details below: Success! This insert worked perfectly. The components are almost identical to the original with the exception of the...

    Wiper Insert for 2001 GW 208 Adventure

    Hi All, I'll be heading into NAPA later today to try and get an insert for the starboard wiper blade for my 2001 GW 208 Adventure. I just need the rubber as the stainless holder and clips are all intact and in good shape. I've seen some posts that bringing the insert to NAPA has worked but I...

    Filling holes in the console electronics compartment

    Hi All, I need to fill in several screw holes in the floor and walls of the helm electronics compartment. It feels like plastic, but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me what material this is and also any recommendations on what to us to fill them? I've used Marine-Tex on previous boats but...

    Installing amplifier on 208 - Wire Length?

    The responses above are great advice. To give you an idea though, I just installed a Garmin transducer with a 20' cable on an Adventure 208 and from the bottom of the transom, into the starboard battery compartment, straight through the rigging tube and then up to the console, it just barely...
