Is the original a fake wood grain surface? Like Walnut?

Consider just a cover that attaches to the same DOT window snaps as if there was an enclosure under a bimini, so that the entire bridge enclosure is covered. Not much more than the stern seats exposed, at least what matters. Put the stern seat cushions away. The Overnighter has the same snaps...

Has an interesting forward design arrangement, and the laybacks at the stern. Like the hull color if it comes in a green version I'm in. Looks like the usual below head accommodations a must for me. Presume beam is 8ft 6in (?). What hull is hers? Like the Yami V6 300 ponies. Expect her...

The OEM pulpit was made in a vacuum mold process where what appears as gelcoat was actually used heavily with very little glass (mat one layer). There are two wood 2x6 planks inside with filler wood pieces and all voids have the gelcoat like material which is actually what is chipped off or...

By the way on the YouTube Video, if the motor reaches at least its minimum WOT RPM, (is it 5000 rpm or better by spec for the ETEC?) than he can go all day the motor flat out it is fine confirm with manuf. For this boat don't know fuel payload I suspect the twins may be under propped a bit to...

Who cares about idling, its not like we are in the mickey D drive thru. Idling should be avoided anyway all engines like to develop power. The 2 cycle motor will be quieter at speed, V6 vs V6, (or I4 vs. I4) at the same given RPM presuming the product has been well engineered for acoustic...

Those are beauties, reminds me of my old johnnies, all white matches anything. By the way, since oil tanks are well forward of the center of gravity weight wise, means little. Engines CG are well aft of transom, 4 strokes valve gear added machinery 100 lbs plus the furthest aft of all. It was...

Consider drilling a 1/8 in. hole near bottom of tube length away from a weld, wrap several layers of cheap black elec tape to seal, then flood HT with overspray from garden hose, 1/2 hour should do it, then peel off tape - does any water drain out ? You can leave the hole forever and call it...

Think I'll give this one a shot too. If memory serves me right (still !), another member had such a need to consider, for same model boat perhaps different year. PM member HDGWJoe with your question. Good luck.

Add your boat to the signature and engine too if you prefer so it's always there. Is the 1995 208 the center console? Do you want water pressure while underway ? Forget plastic, keep it in your wallet. Your model offered SW pickup for washdown, I bet, check full year catalog on Grady...

The bushings get lubricated, otherwise they wear out. I prefer motor grease. The blue stuff.

I'll give it a shot. DIYer or not? Look in the massive West Marine catalog on paper or website, vendors offer separate evaporator (cold side exchanger) and hosed into compressor/condenser (hot side exchanger main units) for the very purpose of conversion or home make boxes. I believe the boxes...

Rainmaker, you are off on the HPDI history (besides not keeping them a secret!!, those smelly 2 strokes you know !) Never a recall ever, too. Try it again! The irony further is that car motors are going to (some brands all the way to H-P-D-I (AUDI is first), and 100% are 4 strokers.

If you are running the HPDI presume saltwater series motor on proper muff with proper hose pressure and vertical as I expect on the dry dock(trailer) the hole will pee and never sound an alarm idling that has to do with over temp until the cows come home. Are you sure it is over temp? How do...

Grady probably did ample sea testing to be sure nothing negative occured with handling as they widened the spacing. The stern of the larger gradys does look a little naked to me with the usual spacing. Spacing was always to Yamaha spec which is a minimum spec. The same industry spec applied...

I've been off the site for a while but it made me smile when reading Seasick's post. Just like many of us from NYC and there abouts I've been called a "bull in a china" shop many times. 99% of what I do here is assisting others, just like the few who have done the same for me over my lifetime...

Consider adding a selector switch on the line side to the house feeder breaker so you can choose between two sources. Blue Seas makes a nice compact one as I recall, and if you use it, never place in Both (1+2) position and leave it there. Then you can switch your house load over to the running...

At the minimum install a drip cover on top of the inverter leave room under it, the insides via the vents are not friendly to anything dripping including condensation as it is a vented type of equipment. My transom service area condensation level is too much for such equipment. Does the...

Looks like the same one Grady had on my 92. I recall Richie made an identical replacement size for the old unit, except the card is blue.

Is the pump running, put your hand on it. If it is running it is probably airbound since you had the boat on a lift and the inlet valve was open(?) Next time close valve first. If you leave the valve open the air may clear itself in time, if it doesn't you have to remove a hose connection or...
