I have had three dangling transducers from the summer help they hire at the marina.

Rather than replace the fabric on my 208's bolsters. I got a set of these. They custom make them to your measurments. They look great and have been on for several years now. http://www.seadek.com/c-8-coaming-bolsters.aspx

Re: DeWalt 20 V Impact Driver: Any Of You Gents Own / Use O Love mine! It is a beast but not cheap! Porter Cable makes a 20V but only comes with one battery. Half the price of DeWalt, though.

If you are going to flush with the engine running, use earmuffs only. If you are worried about salt build up, use Salt-Away one or twice a season. Stuff works.

There is a very nice 2005 30' Marlin for sale near me. F250s with low hours, gen set and good electronics. PM me for info if you like.

My suggestion for backing a single engine 208 into a slip between boats is.....tip the dock boy 5 bucks and let him do it. I found that if you tip the dock boys for each and everything they do, it will save you a lot of aggravation. So many people with big expensive boats have alligator arms...

Quixx Acrylic Scratch Remover worked well for me.

Quicksilver is just fine. FC-W rated and has additives for four strokes. Just remember, your outboard is running at twice the RPMs of a car engine. Using the right oil is imperative.

Before replacing, try squirting some WD40 into the horns and bang them with your fist or a rubber hammer. Worked for me twice.

Group 27 is a size and that's what your 208 takes. I prefer Interstate batteries. If you don't have a charger, a dual hook-up Battery Tender is a great investment. Charges batteries and conditions them without overcharging them.

Head with pump-out or head with macerator are optional on the 225 dual console.

My 2004 208 has the Hella spreader lights from the factory. The replacement bulb is H3. I tried the LED bulb but it was not as bright as the original. Since I am rarely out after dark, it really did not make a difference. You can get them here. http://www.amazon.com/Zone-Tech-Generic ...

Also, the 208 is not a Donzi. But once you get the bottom cleaned and trim tabs on, you should see much better performance and fuel economy. Bennett makes electric tabs that have no hydraulic stuff to install. Might want to give them a look. Watch your depth in Barnagat Bay. Don't ask how I...

On my 2004 208, there was one battery on each side, under the stern seats.
