Thanks John, having a bit of difficulty getting to the factory reset as the little box does not follow instructions at the moment... The Furuno folk have sent me the direction (which is also in the installation bible ) but so far negative responce. Just matter of erasing the memory and...

Halfhitch, I guess I did not clarify, It is not just in Sabiki mode. If I hold down the port of starboard activation buttons on the controller until hardover they will not return "stuck" until I manualy jerk the wheek to unstick them and then the AP reponds. Since I have never gone hardover...

Because of our flat water days here off Vancoiver Island It would be a useful way of putting the boat the boat in a holding pattern for our prawning trips. Where positioning the traps fairly precisely is imprtant for posative results. Since traps are placed up to 400 ft in depth, with wind and...

Thanks Doc, I will try configuring as suggested and see if I can bring Sabiki mode back to working order. I believe you have the same Nav Pilot 300. Do you use the Sabiki mode?

Yes Halfhitch, it hangsd up on both starboard and port hardover. I have talked on line with their gurus on the Furuno Forum and their suggestion was a in line hydraulic bleeding was necessary. Have done that more than once to be sure, but still the issue persists. I'm thinking I may have to...

It was about 10 years ago, but I purchased a new Grady bow pulpit from the grady dealers in Washington state, Jacobsens Marine in Edmonds. Drove down from Vancouver Island aand picked it up and installed it myself. Came with pulpit ,all the staimless hardware and new railings (cut the old ones...

Yes Halfhitch, I chose Furuno NavPilot 300 for its Geture controll (point and shoot with the remote controll to change direction from anywhere on the boat). Sabiki mode.... It is in the Sabiki mode that when hard over it won't return without an assist from the wheel.

family affair, Being a bit slower as I attempt to age gracefully, would you explain "prop shafts 3/4" closer than neutral" Thanks

Thanks Halfhitch, will pour over the installation bible and see if that could be the issue. My questions to Mr. Furuno did not arrive with any answers.

A question regarding my AP . When using the Sabiki (holding position with auto back troll mode) or even stopped and the steering is hard over with the auto pilot reaching its port or starboard limit the Ap cannot return it, I need to manually return (unstick) it with a jerk of the steering...

Don, you know I can't share secret stuff, .........but in your case it is in Desolation Sound, the pics are in around Otter Island and the passage between Otter and Bold Head . Beautiful spot any time of year . Followed some Humpbacks for awhile in that area, watching them interact (play) with...

Timmyboy, I have a 208 with the kicker mounted on the starboard side with a swim platform on the port. As long as the batteries are positioned on the port side you should have good balance as I do

Well....I have done quite a few mods or just added extras on my 2006 Adventure. Auto pilot, hinges on the stern covers, battery charger, enlargerd the helm box (for gps ) installed hinges so have two 9 inch gps flush mounted making the space behind still usable for operation manuals...

You could consider Sikaflex (white ) it is very adhesive and hardens to a tough rubber finish which may be coloured. Not sure of the colouring.

Thanks Halfhitch for showing the me the IMGUR way. Yes, paradise it is! We look forward to the summer ahead spending some time boat camping in these areas....on the mini yacht 208. These pics were taken on our search for the elusive prawns.

Thanks guys for the help with getting a kodak moment on site.It appears I can only get the three boxes REPORT EDIT and DELETE only on some posts. I cannot find a delete box on any of my posts I want to delete........yes I am slow but I would really like to arrive eventually. What am I missing?

Hi guys, can this be done? Trying to get some pics on the site, but like to have a look at them after they are uploaded. Sometomes sizing and placement being an issue then want to make a change. I go to edit and delete then then "no title" comes up, hit save (as in save the delete)go back to...

A good place to start, but depending on the prop and stern weight you may need to raise it again. I am running a 4 blade prop on my F200i4 208 on the last hole. So as high as I can get.

This was about prop function and ability to get on plane without stressing the outboard, getting the revs up fairly quickly. I think slow ability to plane may also show a lower WOT. Yes I think we all "just hit it a go". just questioning the timeing in getting to go.

Curiosity has overcome, do any of you check on your time to get the boat from a idle position to up on plane with a normal (average) load? I believe , although I have not been out for awile, about 5 seconds for my 208 with the F200i4 dragging a 100 lb. kicker to get up and boogy. I will check...
