    Ethanol gets another one

    I have seen reports about problems with fuel lines failing internally on some of our local fishing sites. The problems mostly seemed to be with the grey EPA rated fuel lines when they first came out, the ones that were supposed to keeps fuel vapors from escaping thru the hose I think. The inner...

    Ethanol gets another one

    So what are we supposed to do, give up boating? All we can buy in CA is ethanol blended gas and I have never had a problem. I use the BRP 2+4 additive every time and have left gas in the tank for at least 9 months without issue.

    My 208 With the New F200 I4- Performance # and Pics

    Thanks for sharing the pictures and your observations, it's good to hear the boat still sits the same. Do you know how much your new motor weighs? I hope not to have to repower in the near future but the extra weight has always been a concern for when the time comes. My 94 175 only weighs 375...

    To E-TEC or NOT E-TEC that is the question

    Aw geez Dan, didn't your doctors warn you about forgetting to take your meds on time? Not to worry though, we're here for you. Just close your eyes for a minute, imagine yourself in your nice quiet happy place, maybe a warehouse full of unsold 4 stroke Yamaha's or something. Now deep...

    To E-TEC or NOT E-TEC that is the question

    I saw that, kind of surprised not to see our own SoutheastFL/Dan on there contributing his "facts". With his charming powers of persuasion and winning personality he always adds so much to the E-TEC threads. It almost makes me think maybe he's been banned from THT. :lol:

    To E-TEC or NOT E-TEC that is the question

    Hey guy's, do we have any members here that happen to work in the mental health profession? If so I would sure like to hear your opinions of what might be the root cause of a couple of what I would call "internet personality disorders" that I see quite often on various boating forums. The first...

    looking for Richie oakland A's boat mechanic

    If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, it looks like he has moved to Southern CA. Just-in-Time Mobile Marine was the name of the business I believe.

    Bad News….

    Great news and glad to hear that your dealer got it sorted out and you can enjoy your new boat. Thanks for the follow-up report, that's all too uncommon on most of the boating sites that I look at.

    Trailer Guys with Disc Brakes - Need Opinions Please

    It's hard to argue with success if that has been working good for you for 4 years now, but.... Putting a lubricant on brakes just doesn't seem right, wouldn't it reduce their effectiveness or make them grabby or something?

    Trailer Guys with Disc Brakes - Need Opinions Please

    I've never had any experience with the Tie-Down brand but your right about them not having a great reputation. I've been running Kodiak brakes for probably 8 or 9 years now and have been very happy with them and they seem to get mostly positive reviews. You can get the components in various...

    Just got a 2003 GW208....

    Congratulations on your purchase, that's a great boat that will provide you with many great days on the water and wonderful memories with the family. We have a 94 208 and the only problem that we have ever had was the fuel gauge sending unit in the tank that quit working a few years ago. Thanks...
