Thanks Everyone for the good advice.

Thanks gw204. I unscrewed and pulled off the fiberglass cover today. The tank doesn't seem so bad now that I can look at the whole thing. I'm going to clean and paint the top right now since it's loaded with fuel. Once I burn off 80 gallons I'll try your suggestion and pull the whole tank out...

Has anyone replaced the 82 gallon aluminum fuel tank recently on a Grady White Adventure 208. Mine is a 1995 model with original tank so I think it's about time to replace it. I've contacted Florida Marine Tanks and the current price is $911.00 plus shipping. Does this seem like a good price...

I carry a Honda 2000i inverter type generator on my 32 ft sailboat. It runs a 12,000 btu reverse cycle AC unit fine. It is two small for the 16,000 BTU units. I put it near the walk thru transom on top of a throwable cushion the bungy cord it to the lifelines. Make sure to face the exhause...

After opening up the inspection plate at the aft end of the fish well, I removed a whole lot of blown in foam around the fish well so I could get to the elbow underneath. While in the process of removing the hose the plastic thru hull snapped in half. I replaced it with a Forespar Marelon 1"...

Thanks everyone for looking. I've solved the problem myself. No need for anybody to reply.

I have a 1995 Adventure 208. Its seems to be taking on alot of water all the time. Every time I bring it home on the trailer after 1 day on the water I pump out 5 to 10 gallons from the drain hole in the floor of the v-berth. I can't seem to find out where the water's coming in. I'm going to...

Grady208 (David) 1995 Adventure 208 2005 Yamaha F-225 4 stroke

I tried it yesterday and it worked great. I could hold 28 mph as low as 4000 rpm and stayed right at 30 mph at 4300 rpm. Thanks again for the info.

Thanks Everyone. I'll give the 2 clicks, then two more clicks trick a try the next time on out.

Hi everyone. My question is how far down to set my tilt and trim. The boat is a 1995 Adventure 208 with hardtop and F-225 Yamaha 4 stroke. If I bring the trim all the way down and up against the transom my prop is not parallel to the surface when on plane. Should I set the tilt all the way...

Sorry I meant that it gets 4.2 miles per gallon not 4.2 gallons per hour according to the Grady White website.

I had the same problem on a 1995 Adventure 208. The pump would turn on with the toggle switch but not the float switch. The problem with mine was the fuse connected directly to the battery was not working. I cut the line and relaced it with a standard automotive type fuse and fuse holder. Now it...

I have a 1995 208 with a shower. It is tee'd off on the discharge side of the pump and the shower head is located all the way after on the port side next to the stern cleat. It is in a recess with a black rubber/plastic flap that covers the shower head which is recessed into the deck and has to...

I just did mine a couple of weeks ago on a 2005 F-225 txrd. Go to this link and click on F-225 maintenance. There are pictures of all sorts of F-225 maintenance procedures. http://www.bogueinletnc.com/phpBB3/view ... f=24&t=676 I printed the procedures for the water pump replacement and...
