Fortunately Summertop we do not get much of that "big following rolling sea" up here off the inside of the Island, If we do I have not found myself in it too often. Not sure if you meant trim or mounting hole down.

joe, sell the single Yamaha control and get the Twin 704 control box. Running both motors from the same place at the helm.

Got out to play with the new Powertech 4 blade prop. All good! Did mange for the first time get to see the antiventilation plate looking back at me. Better results than the 3 blade Reliance. Thanks again Ken at Prop Gods.

I have yet to gaze in wonder at my anti-ventilation plate while up on plane, so......I am hoping to get a glimpse when I wet the yacht with the Yam in the new "no holes barred position. The raising or lowering of the outboard is not a difficult event, I have the support and the chain hoist...

Thanks Kizuna. I am aware of that, the deed is done and now weather permitting, sea trials

I am in the process of raising my F 200i4 on my 208 to the last hole. Have seen good results going to the 4 blade prop, and the fact that it appears to have better grip has got me thinking I will raise the Yam to see if I can increase my WOT by 100 rpm's of so. At the moment I am 56- 5700. Any...

Got a chance to wet the new prop yesterday SCE 4 Power Tech. All compared to the Reliance 14 1/2 x 15p. Some good changes, 3 mph more at same cruising rpm, quicker on plane, appears to stay on plane a lower speed, for some reason it sounds quieter at cruising, reach 40-41mph wot, the Reliance...

Thanks guys, and Hookup for the reference to your prop experience a year ago.Yes Ken was very helpful and we arrived at the SCE4 using my present 3 blade numbers. I am hoping it works as anticipated as exchanging the prop from here on Vancouver Island is an expensive event, shipping being the ouch.

I used the same plugs before I balanced my 208 with 2 batteries on port to balance kicker on starboard. I believe the Seafarer has horizontal scupper drains (flat on the deck with a grate) while the 208's are vertical at deck level. So don't think the plugs work with the horizontal scupper...

Good to hear, thanks Ky. Have you had to change the hub in that time?

Just purchased a Power Tech ss prop SCE4 14X15p from the company in Texas through Ken at Prop Gods. Just questioning if any of you guys are using Power Tech props and your thoughts on them. Have not got the new prop wet yet, waiting for weather. I did read about some issues with blades breaking...

I would just like to take a moment and give a big thanks to my friendly little T 8 kicker. She has proven time after time to be a reliable fuel sipping buddy that can troll for hours on the fumes of the F 200. Bless you my child!

I bought two energizer AGM group 31 dual purpose batteries from Costco a coupe of months ago but have only had the boat out once. I think for my needs, running down riggers pulling traps and overnight boat camping they should be fine. Item # 140731

I see Costco has inflatable life vests for sale, so not know the manufacturer.

Just installed those Seaworthy ss scupper assembly on the splash well drains. They are flush mounted units. so used the rubber gasket from the old ones to seal the new ones. Will find out how well they work next lumpy day pulling prawn traps against the wind. Yes, when fishing in the stern I...

I received a very quick response from Carolyn at Grady White to my question regarding layout of stringers and bulkheads, for my proposed hole in the sole. Came back with a drawing and the dimensions. Got to love their customer relations!!!!

Do not know much about the Seastar xtreme, I have the Yam 704 dual control with trim and tilt. Made up my own connection from kicker to main which stays fixed with both or individual motors up or down. You could sell the single controls to help pay for the upgrade to duals.

Lucky, I think you want just the flappers, not replacing the whole drain. I purchased flappers locally but could only get 1 1/2 ", on my 208 the flappers are 1 7/16" so cut them down to size. It is a very close fit and they have to be right on or they will stick.

Thanks Dennis, I have cut a few holes in this lovely lady but not in her very sole. In search for suitable hatch here on the Island but maybe will need look further afield. Have yet to zero in on the final dimensions. Found using a deep penetrating stud censor showed the bulkheads and...

I believe the space I am considering is the same on the 228.......anybody??
