The port bow light is probably a bulb as port and starboard are on the same switch. Take off the switch panel first and check the connections to the horn and live well. If good, follow up at their connections in place, (where they connect to the faulty units) The live well pump could be...

Just got word from my friend, he has crossed over and is looking at welded aluminium boats. So my quest for him is over with thanks. I do love my 2006 Grady 208 Adventure which is now reaching her 17 birthday with a 2012 Yam F 200. In beautiful condition and looking forward to chasing some...

Looking for a friend who is very much interested in buying a 208 after spending a little time on mine. Something in the 2002-2012 range budget wise. Must have a hard top and well looked after..... very much like mine may I say, and be in the Pacific Northwest. He had a couple lined up both...

Getemwet, have you sold your 208 yet? and what is your asking price. Looking for a friend, Thanks

I think you will find not many changes in the 208 after 2000 over the years. Mine is 2006 and appears very close to the newer ones, the exception being they are a lot more expensive to purchase! I have the Yam 200 on mine at it is great match for the 208. I would guess the composite transom etc...

Thanks, was checkin for friend who is in the market for 228 but too far away for him.

Lasrjock, Have you sold the boat? Were are you located? Thanks

Has it been painted before or are you painting over gelcoat? I have not done my boat about but just finished sanding down the gelcoat on a fibreglass rv and applied Rustolium Top Side with good results. That was over ge

Something to consider is a product out of Australia called Woody Wax. when applied correctly it makes fibreglass decking easy to clean and can last several months. I use it annually through the fishing season.

I have Costco AGM batteries all good!

Hookup1 do you know what is left in the tank in gallons or litres when the Yamaha gauge starts flashing?

OK ROBERTH, spill the beans on your tire change technique, I like the "perfect science" approach. but you have left us hanging on the details.

How do you loose a lower unit? I check mine only for leaks each I use the boat. To check for oil level would require removing top plug and I guess use something (piece of bent wire) to see the oil level. I just assume no leaks means it is full. I change every 80-100 hours or annually. I use...

Good for you! That is quite a journey and congrats on not loosing the vision to complete. Looking good!

You could try Spectrum gelcoat repair paste.They carry the colour according to year of manufacturing for Grady. It will be close and I doubt noticeable in a dime size repair. I have used it on my 208 with success.

Do not know about "best" anchor , but have had the Fortress anchor for years and find it works well and is easy to retrieve, its light weight makes it easy to handle by hand.

Don, this is where I ordered mine, staying on this side of the border makes shipping just a little more friendly. http://www.noahsmarine.com/index.asp

Very happy with my Furuno Nav Pilot 300. Approx. half the cost of the $5-6000 mentioned.

I used a stainless steel transom bracket and used a piece of starboard to separate the motor mount from the bracket. Appears to be working well. Could not find polished stainless so settled for a fairly heavy duty ss angle. Like to believe it helps supports any transom flex.
