Not a big donation USD vs. CD but so appreciative of all the help and camaraderie over the years. A BIG thanks Jeff!!

My use for the AP is varied. Great for trolling and 2-3 mph, having to leave the helm to bring in the monster keeps boat on tack (track). I do not stop the boat to reel in just slow it down. We often tour Desolation Sound both my wife and I sitting on the bow (much cooler on hot days) in...

I purchased and installed the Furuno Navpilot 300. great unit with remote control. Not difficult to install, comes with explicit instructions. One of the best mods of many I have done to my 208.

I do not winterize my 208 it is kept in a warm boat barn at home and do mange to get out occasionally throughout the winter months. Pick my days and usually it is more about just being out there... hunting humpbacks, and maybe an Orca, a great time for prawning. It can be beautiful time with...

Alligator, how about some pics showing the old and renewed? Have a RIB that the seats could use a tune up. Thanks

I can totally relate. Moved one battery from starboard to port to join its twin (31M-AGM) in order to balance the kicker. To remove them I have to remove the outside one to access the inside one. Also to make room had to put the trim tab pump high on the inside of the transom and relocate the...

Thanks for all you responses, tough time explaining the marks. No transfer from the dock, more like a aggressive edge of sand paper left a long couple of streaks. Have not attacked it yet, but did try some Goof Off to no avail. Tried to get some pics of it to show here but having a hard time...

Band of Brothers, I have a gelcoat dock scuff on the hull on the bow flare below the rub rail, about 3 ft. long. Have looked at few you tube videos on repair but they all seem a little overkill. The gelcoat is just marred not through the gelcoat or really scratched. Is there a less...

How about photos, price and location to start.

248. I replaced mine with a stainless steel angle I purchased from a local machine shop and cut it to length. Lifted my F200 with a chain hoist,. re- bedded the transom cap with Sikaflex 291. You can get a plastic or is it fibreglass from Grady white. The stainless cap will out out last the...

Found some at Home Depot.....Canada

Yes, I use the "snap on" hose attachments on both main and kicker flush ports as well as on both my flushing muffs. Gets rid of lining up threads especially when doing a wash down with motor tilted full up at berth.

The reason I suggested starboard is because I have left overs from other projects. Yes seasick a 17 year old trailer, but in good shape (aluminium I beam ) The question I proposed re the trailer with corrosion received a much bigger responce the I expected. I guess that is a good thing. Anyway...

Thanks seasick, Talked to a outfit here that sells Highliner trailers and does repairs to boat trailers. On picking up new u-bolts from them they suggested putting an anti static (grounding strap)strap as they said that some of the corrosion on the trailer is from electrolysis, I guess caused...

Thanks guys., will proceed as suggested butyl tape or 4200. Yes it does sound like a better block as Denis mention "caused by water being trapped" would still occur still with starboard.....although are we trying separate the metal or also keep salt water from being trapped agains the aluminium...

Hi guys, looking for little guidance in my trailer project. I have removed the bunks with the mounting brackets attached. Where the brackets were fastened to the I beam aluminium trailer (6000 lb.Road King) has left quite a salt deposit with some corrosion where the dissimilar metals join. I...

Talk to Ken at Prop Gods, he set me up with a Power Tech for a great fit on my 208

Rayvon, Prop is a power tech 14D 15P I have a good rubber seal on the hatch cover also a lock (latch) which hold it down fairly tight. I do get some leakage from hosing down the deck but it just ruins into the bilge. I built in a false removable floor in the hatch with holes to allow any...

A big thanks wahoo for the great photos and story of the trip. For guys like me who live many miles from that beauty part of the planet, it is a real treat to get that kind of coverage. A brief time of living vicariously in your world. I would not trade it for mine but can really appreciate the...
