    New Grady 208 Owner

    I have a 200 hp Johnson on my 208 so I can not be of any help. I am curious about one thing, what is this factory tool to set the timing with you speak of? I am interested in getting one. All I am aware of is a timing light thanks

    BOOM !

    It has happened to me. Same scenario, but the tire was on the trailer spare carrier when I bought the boat. A few years after owning it blew exactly like yours. They just age from sitting out in the sun I change my tires by age, not wear. But I overlooked the spare. I change them at 5 years...

    Fixed Kicker Bracket with Manual Trim Kicker Possible?

    I have a Panther 35 motorized tilt bracket for my Yam 9.9 4 stroke kicker. It works great and is very solid. I fish on Lake Erie which is known not to be a very friendly body of water. I would consider one of those. In addition, I just added a Panther Steer T4 and now I am in trolling...

    94 Adventure 208 fishbox conversion to livewell

    great replies What I was going to use it for was just fish, not bait. I dont really use much live bait, and I have a aerated bait bucket that works fine for when I do use it. I still think my big problem is going to be gaining access to the pump. Im big, its small lol. Not sure what I...

    94 Adventure 208 fishbox conversion to livewell

    thats true, good point unless I can find a one way valve to put in the livewell line, so it only allows flow in one direction. Dont know if they make that or not for this thanks

    94 Adventure 208 fishbox conversion to livewell

    I am thinking of adding a pump and making one of my fishboxes into a recirculating livewell. I was going to look into adding a "t" in the raw water wash-down intake hose and putting a livewell pump inline there and run a line to the box. Then I was going to put a standpipe in the drain in the...

    cold weather use of raw water washdown

    thanks for the reply. if there is a seacock I dont know where it is. There is the intake on the hull near the transom, the outlet which you screw the coiled hose into in the splashwell, and a on/off toggle switch for the pump. I have not looked into the access ports, maybe there is one...

    cold weather use of raw water washdown

    Gang- I have a dealer installed washdown. I am wondering about using it in the freezing weather and how to winterize it. I just run the water out of the hose while the boat is on the trailer. Is there anything else I should be doing? Sure dont want it to freeze and break something thanks
