    External oil reservoir for Tournament 19

    Cedargrady, Here are a few on ebay, but none appear to be used. Not sure how this compares with dealer price. Also, if that is a 10 gallon tank, it may have been installed at a later date since that would be a very large tank for that size boat. Most are the 11 liter size. You should be...

    Oil reservoir on 1990 250 V6 not filling Head tank reservoir

    Not sure about your specific engine model but on some units the tilt/trim lever has to be in the "down" position for the relay to signal it is ok to transfer the oil. If yours is damaged and in the "up" position, it may not allow the signal to work. Does your trim gauge show that it is...

    towing question

    $150 is a good price for a 10,000 hitch. Drawtite and Reese are both good. Is your truck the supercrew model? I looked around online and could only find one hitch (drawtite) that would fit and the cost was upwards of 260 including free shipping...

    Shipping a Grady

    I had a guy buy my 208 a few years back and had it professionally towed from the east coast of Florida to Seattle and tried to get it into Canada from there. He had a hard time getting the trailer approved to cross into Canada. Seems the trailer vin# was one digit off (which nobody caught) and...

    Alarm and gauge questions

    Go here and do a search for relief valve or popitt (sp) valve. Also take a look at "overheating threads", most will speak to valve. http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

    towing question

    I think the misunderstanding may be coming from the terminology. A weight distributing capacity of 9900 to me means that you would be using a camper style towing setup with the weight distributing bars connected to the trailer tongue and to the receiver hitch. The carry capacity to me means...

    towing question

    Not really on the 8600 as many are led to believe. All towing involves many different factors as everyone knows. The best way to determine what is really happening with your own vehicle is to load it up with the number of people that will be accompanying the boat, fill the truck fuel tank(s)...

    T-TOP on 17 SPIRIT

    When you get a chance, how about posting some pics of the floor and console mounts and maybe a shot from the transom forward so we can see how much room is taken up. Would appreciate that.

    T-TOP on 17 SPIRIT

    Raymond, what was the approximate weight on that T-top? Also, is that a 115 C series yamaha engine? Reason I ask is that I sold my 17 spirit a few years back with a new install 115C on it and am curious as to the weight issue with both the top and engine. Also, does that spirit have gunnel...

    towing question

    Be sure to take a good look at the rear end ratio. Most of the 3/4 ton to 1 tons start at 3:73 and go to 4:56. My F450 diesel has a 4:30 and I tow a fifth wheel loaded at 12,000 plus. My truck weighs 9500 loaded with fuel and all. I suffer some in fuel mileage (14 to 15 when not towing and...

    towing question

    I used to tow a 208 loaded with a ford crown vic a few years back. Had the v8 engine, rear wheel drive with overdrive lockout. No problem on power here in Florida and the trailer had brakes. Problem was the tongue weight on those ford air bags. I bought a tongue adapter for the boat trailer...

    FloScan question

    Blackdiamond296, you are correct, as I now remember when installing the unit on my old 208. Kinda like a bilge pump wiring, always need to have direct power from the battery. Otherwise, when you cut the power to the flowscan, it can't remember where it was on the last usage.
