    Gas Tank Capacity Problem

    Yep, I thought I had a smaller replacement tank for awhile but found out that 1997 was the year Grady started to switch over to a poly tank. So there are both poly and aluminum tanks on the 1997 series. I had that fact verified by GW and it is the original equipment. I also found a sticker on...

    Bilge Problem

    I have a 1997 208 Adventurer and the forward bilge is plugged and water is not flowing to the stern. We've tried running a snake, wire, compressed air and finally cutting a hole in the deck to gain access to the forward bilge. There is no apparent plug in the forward bulkhead drain, and a wire...
