Dear all, I've included the link in the photo section - but it may be of interest here, too. There are some drawings, measurements and parts codes for whomever might be interested (and more will be added as we near completion). Since the refurbishment of our new (old) 208 is almost done, I've...

Cheers guys, will get to it soon!

Hello all, Since the refurbishment of our new (old) 208 is almost done, I've decided to share some images, hints and tips (and failures) with whomever might be interested. Here is the link to the full story: http://adventure208.tumblr.com/ As it's a blog, you'll need to read it from the...

Hello all, Is there a simple (i.e. inexpensive) method to shine the metal and plastic parts of a Yamaha 225 (4-stroke, if that matters at all)? Engine runs great, but the external surfaces have lost their initial shine... any advice appreciated!

Here's a link to the image I sent to GW (just to be sure, since I live a long way away...) You may want to save this image and email to the shop...Forget the mention of GW model - chairs should be the same...(?)

Got two from a GW dealer for 10,95 USD (the full set, including handle)... call GW!

Yeap, I just noticed that 209 owners will have the same issue! Rubber gasket... these things need pressure to work...

Hello all, I am replacing the battery select switch and main electric "arteries" on my new-old 208. Also adding a Blue Sea Systems SI-Series Automatic Charging Relay and maxi fuses... The switch is currently mounted on the inside of transom, under the starboard seat. I cannot seem to find a...

Replaced glass, zippers, added reinforcement with blue fabric and new rivets (whatchamacallits) for 1/4 of the price of new set. It's your call - you know the state they're in!

Exactly! Why not even more? 4MPG or 5? I know it sounds like fantasy, but I'm sure that if all this engineering spirit and energy went into this proposition.... well.... somthing would come out! I am longing for the days of solar-powered props (be them outboard or inboard or whatever)... We...

Boats should be fun! Do whatchayalike on them, be it tea-drinking, towing family, gazing at the sea, or whatever! [Sorry I had to say that, albeit I cannot be of any help with towables, as I have not tried any... yet!]

Ahm.... Sorry, but I'll propose a totally different view to the usage of 557HP outboards. Your country is currently involved in 3 oil-induced wars. Is is really necessary to have 2 x 557, or even a single 557HP engine to drag a couple of friends out to sea, in order to bring back a few kilos of...

Oh well, yes, the whole bottom diaphragm broke... i gotta somehow replace it all first and then fill up with liquid... sounds a little too much, I know, I'll see if it is possible or simply fork out another 100 euros... :bang

oops sorry, spirits, then... see the fact is that the liquid coming out of my compass did feel a bit like "thin" oil to the touch. Indeed it did not smell.

Similarly, I've just bought Hempel Epoxy barrier coating (2-part epoxy) and will apply in a couple of weeks. In essence, these 2-part juices give you added protection from osmosis as well as a 2nd skin over your gelcoat. Epoxy is very tough and will assist in trailering and storage. Do not...

This post really cracked me up - what a coincidence.... my compass decided to die just a few days ago. And the odorless mineral oil had to run all over my electrics... of course... Glad to see I am not the only one, then. As for a replacement - well I ain't forking out another 100 Euros for an...

Hmmmm... gelcoat sounds fine, too!

Here's the thing - do we know what type of paint Grady White uses when manufacturing?

Thank you all, I guess the issue with paint peeling is unrelated with the paint material and more to do with oil/grease on surface....

Hello all, Any suggestions for the paint to use to freshen-up the bilge area in a 2000 Grady? My mechanic warned me that some types of thick top-coat paints may start flaking if the paint base is different... I intend to paint the inside of the anchor locker, too... Any ideas? something in the...
