    anyone install a thu-hull for washdown in a 208

    My pickups are side-by-side in aft compartment. Note that I drilled three 3/8" holes in the back of both of them. Lots of problems with Rule 405FC 1100 GPH bait pumps. 3-year warranty plus West will extend it or replace it. Too much pressure on cheap pump seal intruding motor. Plus broken...

    Battery Drain whilst isolators are off

    As Dennis said - use a digital multimeter to check amperage draw. Stay by taking the negative off the battery and insert multimeter there. You can do this with positive terminal too but there is usually less stuff connected to negative. Then start turning battery switches off, checking devices...

    Replacing fuel lines

    The fule lines are somewhat locked in place with heavy clear silicone caulk. It is not that difficult to dig it out. When you do you can replace it when you put tanks and hoses back in. The hoses do not require a heat gun or dish detergent. Maybe a little light coating of a clear silicone lube.

    Installation of bow thruster

    You need to start with GW and investigate how bow thrusters were installed at the factory in your model. Newer GW's have provisions for thruster built into the hull at the factory. If you look at this GW 2022 model hull you can see the thruster option molded into the hull (zoom in). I...

    Electronics recommendation for 235 Freedom

    The radio receives AIS targets and they are displayed on chartplotter charts and radar images. I do not have equipment to transmit AIS.

    Raw water winterization

    The baitwell pumps are typically Rule centrifugal pumps. Pop out and blow out the line. No antifreeze needed. The wash down and freshwater pumps are diaphragm pumps and will hold water and freeze. You have to get antifreeze into the housing. The freshwater can be done draining tank and water...

    Grady White Accessories Online

    I would talk to a GW Dealer and their parts department. They have been helpful. I have not seen a web site or accessory catalog for GW boats.

    That could work too but I put my baitwell there. I may rig something up like that on the other side.

    Im replacing my 265 Express Fuel Tanks!!!!! Pic heavy

    Be careful with the tank dimensions. Not sure you are going to be able to slide the new tank back in. You should have nitrile strips attached to the tank and pad out where the blocks are. My tanks came out easy but I had to cut to fit the HDPE blocks back in. Also use a Torx head screw on the...

    Raw water winterization

    The baitwell pump is a centrifugal pump and should be dry. Push release, 1/4 turn and pop it out. Done. I put a hose on my raw water washdown and pour pink antifreeze back into the pump. Cycle it burp pink stuff out. Take hose off and leave it off. Done. Freshwater is more involved. I took my...

    GoPro live underwater 1080p feed to Garmin 8612 chartplotter

    Thanks. Some interesting mounting and videos. Difference though is they are recording video. I’m interested in a live view. I have a few ideas for mounting I’m working on now. I’ll post something later this week.
