    Grady-White Factory Tour

    Thanks for the pics, It is a long way from Vancouver Island so do not think I will ever have the privilege of the tour, but I am sure I would find it interesting to see them in different stages of build and talk with the staff.

    208 Adventurer captains chair / companion under seat part question

    Yes, I replaced mine through an order from Jacobsens Marine in Washington. Just send them a pic of the broken one and I think any Grady dealer can get them. Do not know who manufactures them.

    What’s in your on board tool box?

    Not sure how much work I can do on my F200 if it stalled out on the brine. Yes I do all my own mods but apart from checking wiring..electrical shorts breaks etc. fuel issues, mechanically I do not think I could do much. They are a fairly complicated engine, (from my humble perspective)...

    Replacing fuel lines

    Thanks, Will check the fill and vent hose. Seasick, the line from the primer bulb runs from under the starboard lidded hatch into the splash well and from there to the F 200. I have all this rigging enclosed with rigging hose. Very little exposure anywhere on the run to UV. The rest of the...

    Replacing fuel lines

    There has been some discussion on fuel line replacement after so many years in use (age of yacht) with breakdown of the interior of the fuel line. My 2006 208 has now had 17 fun filled years on the planet so....I cut a section at the end of the line where it arrives and leaves the primary...

    330 Express: Rod Storage INSIDE cabin?

    Morning Flot, Can't help with rod placement, just questioning the amount of fishing rods you have onboard. Is that for fishing different species or because you have a lot of pals who fish with you? I am feeling a little left out with only six, 2 spin casting, 2 salmon rods with 4/1 level wind...

    Remote Spot and Aft Lights - Good or Bad idea?

    I had a spot light on a previous boat and only used it on overnight boat camping trips. Getting up in the night to check the proximity to the beach and just having a look around at any other yachts anchored nearby for any anchor dragging. Tried not to shine it directly into sleeping quarters as...

    anchor roller

    Mine came with a roller before I installed the pulpit which I moved onto the pulpit on install. I believe it is easier to install a bow roller and haul up the anchor and rode dropping it into the locker as you retrieve then lift the anchor off the roller (under the railing ) and drop it down...

    anchor roller

    I purchased one without the loop.Pull the rode and chain up through (over) the roller them lift it into the anchor locker. I use a Fortress anchor which is fairly light (mostly anchoring in shallow waters) which enables me to hoist it up and over the bow pulpit and into the actor locker with out...

    anchor roller

    https://ca.binnacle.com/Docking-and-Mooring-Anchor-Rollers/c33_269/index.html Just have to pick one. It certainly makes it easier retrieving than pulling it straight up and possible whacking the bow and or taking you for a swim.

    Starboard question

    For any rounding or smoothing of starboard edges, a quick pass with a router does a beauty job.

    232 Gulfstream w/twins no affliation

    Personally, I think in all things one should show respect for another opinion, as that is just what it is. Agreeable or not, the point is that some one took time to share from their experience, limited or not, in an attempt to help another. This is what this forum is all about and should not to...

    228G Seafarer Kicker motor mounting/steering solutions

    I have a T8 yam for a kicker on my 208, mounted on port side opposite the swim - ladder platform. Both batteries had to be installed on the starboard stern to compensate for the weight. Works great for trolling for our Pacific salmon.Trolling at idle or slightly above (tide dependent) you...
