    Kicker Bracket

    I have a Panther 35 that spent about 3 months on my 208 before the main power died two months ago. Got to use it twice. I decided to repower with a yamaha 200 4 stroke so took off the kicker (yamaha 9.9 4 stroke). I have all the parts and could sell it to you if you are still looking. I...

    It must be Spring because

    I'd like to know how to get teak at all. My grady has this crappy plastic laminate for wood trim. I guess it may have looked good once but now it is all faded. I have tried Penetrol on it and it looks marginally better for about 30 minutes until it's fully dried. I may try sanding it but...

    calling all 204c and 208 owners

    I can't help but think that either will be underpowered with a 150. I'm about to repower my 208 with the Yamaha 200 i4 4 stroke. It will be replacing a ymaha 225 2 stroke salt water and a 9.9hp yamaha kicker and will weigh less than that combo.

    Teak?

    If you can work with wood here is a source of teak. http://www.woodworkerssource.com/teak.html Ipe and Jatoba will work and look like teak if you find those easier to get.

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

    Thanks for your post. The power on my 1995 208 Adventure just died and it's in the shop considering repower. Your boat looks a lot cleaner than mine which I bought used about 3 years ago. Had a Yamaha 225 Salt Water Series 2 stroke along with a 9.9 hp Yamaha 4 stroke kicker on an electronic...

    A few more 208 upgrades (and fish)

    Love the look of your wires. Mine look more like my baitcaster did the first time my son tried to use it.

    proper trolling kicker size

    I got mine used so it was already set up. the kicker is mounted on a gear drive MinnKota tilt trim. It used to have a switch in the cockpit to raise and lower it but the relay was fried when I got it and haven't been able to find one. the wires are now jerry-rigged with alligator clips that...

    Replacing Snaps

    I just got my tool from West Marine and easily replaced the snaps on my cushions. Just a word of caution...make sure you put the right snap (male or female) where it belongs. They're a little tougher to remove.

    proper trolling kicker size

    I have an Adventure 208 with a Yamaha 225 2 stroke. THe kicker is a 9.9 yamaha and it get me up to 6.5 at WOT under calm conditions. The fuel line is from the main tank. I don't think you want to troll at 4 mph with a 2-stroke.

    Grease on Vinyl

    I've gotten some grease on my vinyl (luckily not on my Grady). What's the best way to remove it without ruining the vinyl. My owners manual says not to put anything on it except Ivory dish soap. Guess what....it didn't budge. Any other ideas?

    Kicker motor

    The kicker on my 208 is tied into the same fuel source. Not sure where I'd put a second fuel tank at this time. I'm just very careful to use EtOH-free fuel.

    Assuming you checked the fuse first. If you have a wire at the horn is there any way you can attach a new wire to it and pull it through?

    water wash-down?

    Here's my stupid story. I have a washdown on my 208 but it's original equipment on a 1995 model. could never get the darn thing to pump although I could hear and fell the pump going so I figured the seals on were blown or something. Had it fully removed and with it finally out of the way I...

    Radio Placement on Adventure 208

    I was able to fit my radio in the glove box next to the VHF radio and speakers by my feet facing the bulkhead. YOu're right...sounds great there. Hardest part was getting the speaker wires from the box to the speaker.

    Radio Placement on Adventure 208

    Thanks. Didn't know if I'd like having a radio where I couldn't see it. The unit I have has a remote so that might work.

    Radio Placement on Adventure 208

    I have a 1995 208 and would like to add a radio. There is not enough room in the box over the dash which already houses a a VHF radio (think I ought to keep that one) There is a fish finder over the door to below. O don't think I want to mount it on the box over the steering wheel as this will...
