    1993 209 Escape Fuel Tank Replacement

    We are well into this project. One piece of advice; do not trust the GW tank drawings. Pull your tank and have it built off of that original. My original fill, vent, ground, pick up and sending unit were all very different from what was supplied by GW. Tank is back getting reworked now...

    GPS / Fishfinder for Adventure 208

    Garmin Echomap 94 SV UHD is great. Easy install, just run a messenger when removing old transducer. Videos on the web on install, functions etc. Put it on top of your console. Unit comes unclipped from bracket so you can stow it away or take it with you.

    1993 Escape 209 fuel tank replacement

    Anyone done this on a 1993 Escape? Tips? tank suppliers? Info I should ask for from Grady? Pics and advice welcome. I definitely have this in my future, even if I don't find the tank is leaking.... 28 years old, that tank owes me nothing.

    Updated Pictures of My 92 Explorer

    Looks good. Jealous you are in the water and I am two months away from launch..... You should really consider changing out all the delrin (plastic) thruhulls. I replaced all on my 1993 Escape five years ago when I got the boat. They were very brittle. To remove, stick a large screwdriver in and...

    Livewell/washdown pump question

    My pump is acting up, quite a bit louder than in past years and much lower pressure when in washdown. 1993 Escape, with Y to switch between livewell function to washdown. I am assuming it is a Shurflo unit, but can't make anything out on pump motor. My brother gave me a Johnson pump, Aqua Jet...

    Rain X on Windshield?

    I also have been using Rejex for the hull instead of wax for two seasons with great results.... Originally designed for use on cockpit windshields and leading edge of aircraft wings.

    Pics of Grady without stripes?

    I took the striping and the logo of my 209 Escape. Looks bigger and the name fits better. Don't know how to post pics from my photo gallery though. There will be a shadow of the stripe for a year or so, but it fades. You will be the only one to notice it in time. Not worried about whether people...

    thru hull fittings change out

    I have same year model and replaced mine with SS three years ago. There are some challenging reaches to get the hoseclamps tightened, but it can be done. Have a helper outside to hold the fitting in place. Double up on the clamps. I used 4200, vs 5200, just in case... Start by breaking off the...
