    Throttle Troubles

    My 2001 208 with Yamaha 200hp two stroke has cut out (both at low idle and under power) when I hit the trim button. This has only happened a couple of times but is a major concern. I am all but certain this is a problem limited to the throttle handle/trim button assembly but I am looking to...

    HELLO GW LOVERS - a possible new owner has a question.

    You don't need to hear any more positives on the 208 or GW in general. GREAT BOAT. One additional benifit to owning a GW is this forum. Lots of guys who love their boats, take pride in owning a GW and take the time to post replys here. I am sure that owners of other boat MFG's have forums...

    I smell gas

    I am the new owner of of 2001 Grady 208 with a 200 Yamaha. Love the boat. However, the last two times I have topped off the tank I smell gas for long periods afterwards. The catch is I only smell fuel while running the boat. There is zero gas in bilge, engine is very clean and I don't smell...
