    1987 Fisherman 204, deck drain scuppers

    BTW, is your 225 a 4 stroke? Mine has a 150 2 stroke & I like the power most days but am considering upgrading to a 200. Thing is I’d want a four stroke but will need to consider the added weight. Your boat has more forward cabin weight to begin with, which likely helps counter any engine...

    1987 Fisherman 204, deck drain scuppers

    I like the mesh bag idea. Simple. I did purchase a great fitting mooring cover for the boat which has helped a great deal but there’s that locust tree hanging over from my neighbors which always rains small leaves. Lol, it’s a struggle to keep those out. I assume your hatch cover at the bilge...

    Purchasing new toggle switches

    I just purchased a set of the Etched & backlit rocker switches from NewWireMarine. I'll be replacing all the switches, gauges & the dash panel in my 1987 Fisherman 204 this week. These switches cost a bit more but look like they will be an awesome upgrade. All of my current switches are the...

    AirMar B60 Thru hull transducer installed on recently purchased Grady White?

    I recently bought a Grady White boat that came with a Garmin Striker 5CV & a GT-20 transducer installed. Also installed into the hull of the boat is an AirMar B60 thru hull transducer. The cable is pulled to the console, yet not connected to anything. Can I use the Airmar B60 for the...
