I plumbed mine from the Racor filter mount. No problems with siphoning off main engine.

The bottle has ratioes to mix listed. I use it in all my engines. Keeps fuel system clean. I'm a believer. Same with Yamaha Ring Free Plus.

Very nice! Rock solid boat. I'm up in Hessel, MI running the Escape 209. (1993)

Might want to consider adding SeaFoam to your fuel.

Did you find the 'Tow' button? On my Dodge Ram it's on the tip end of the shift stick on the steering column. I think mine says, 'Overdrive off'. I installed electric brakes on my trailer, but I'm in fresh water.

Contact: www.anglersedgemarine.com Nice GW!

Not exactly your needs but something to look at. http://www.thehulltruth.com/boats-sale- ... below.html

Apparently, your kicker does not have power tilt / trim, correct? Might want to communicate with that west coast bracket maker. I wonder if you could install a Panther lift onto a welded aluminum bracket. Are you hoping to align your cavitation plate with bottom of hull when trolling?

I put a Yamaha T8 kicker on my Escape 209. I went with a welded aluminum bracket from the the guy above and got the T8 with power trim and tilt. Works well and no worries about a bouncing bracket or loss of the kicker.

My GW Escape 209 ( 1993 ), has spent it's whole life in fresh water. ( Great Lakes ). I do see the black slimy stuff, which I clean thru my access plates. What do you guys think of a 19 year old gas tank used in fresh water? I get no water in my Racor filter w/clear bowl. Fuel fill and lines...

I never looked for marine grade teflon tape. The official name for that drain set-up is 'Garboard drain'. Your old one looks like an ancient Mayan artifact. Any water logged wood inside where assembly came out? Suggest that you dry area and coat inside of hole with epoxy.

The brass drain plug at the bottom of the transom? For stuck threads I use PB Blaster and let it soak awhile. I also use teflon tape when installing plug. I'm surprised bronze to bronze would seize. I'm in fresh water though. Good luck.

Please post a picture of the transom.

I would get ahold of this guy. He did mine for an Escape 209 on starboard side. I bet he could do a bracket that allows removal of swim platform SS brace and bolt platform back onto new bracket.

This guy makes custom welded aluminum kicker brackets specifically for your boat and transom angle, plus paints to match. http://pages.pacificcoast.net/~bitemetoo/

I put a Yamaha T8 kicker on my 1993 Escape 209. Main use is trolling for salmon, but it will get me home. I'm on northern Great Lakes.

I suggest you email Grady White customer service with specs on proposed 4 stroke. (esp. weight). They will be helpful. I went thru same thing when I repowered my 1993 Escape 209. (I installed 200 HPDI) Have your hull # handy. I also suggest a thorough transom inspection to look for any water...

Have you called Andy, Jr. at http://www.simyamaha.com? Shipyard Island Marina, WI

I repowered my 1993 Escape 209 5 or 6 years ago. I took Parthery's advice re: 200 HPDI. I'm glad I did, very glad. Thanks Parthery
