Nope, I have a 208 Adventure. I was referring to the 4 and 5 hole hard top rod holders. There has been much discussion on GG about the hard top's ability to support the aftermarket top-gun style outriggers without welded backing plates. While some have done it successfully I think the...

These are exactly what I have been looking for as well. Do you know what they are charging for them?

As a followup.... I basically replaced everything between the tank and the motor. In replacing the anti-siphon valve I found some interesting details that definitely contributed to my issue. The factory 3/8" ID anti-siphon valve only allows 1/4" of actual ID opening for fuel to travel and...

In the same sense i'd repower my boat (if i didn't want to move up) in a heartbeat since its setup and works just the way I like it. Even a 2 yr old boat with 50 hrs is a risk

No access ports on the 208's removable deck section.

When I asked about my barely leaking seastar cylinder I was told by more than one mechanic that if it works fine, keep it topped off (bleed & fill) and use it. When it becomes a problem the only real option is replacement. How much do those cylinders run anyways? I know its somewhere in my...

The 200hp 2s SWSII yamaha on my boat works great for my needs, I have a hardtop, regularly carry fish/dive loads and/or 6-8 persons. The inlets in this area also require plenty of excess power which become a safety concern. With 6 people my actual cruise is 28mph @ 10gph If I repower it...

Check yachtworld and boattrader, the range right now is huge on used boats and everyone is willing to deal. New; the boat will be 50k++ after your finished......you will have new technology and a warranty but will lose 10k by driving off the lot.

I bought my 98' 208 last year from an older gentleman who purchased it new, dry stored it at the same grady dealership who sold it and they also did the maintenance. It was never fished and had about 150hrs on it for 10 years of service. On the rack next to a 2008 208 it showed even better...

I appreciate the ideas and responses, I already purchased a new valve but managed to damage the elbow fitting through the process. Going to pick one up soon and put her back together. Hopefully this will solve my problem. The deck plate is sealed in there tight with 5200 (best guess) a...

That brings up a good question, how important is the anti-siphon valve?

BTW, the deck removal portion of this question was supposed to be how do you get that "removable" portion of the cockpit deck out after you take the screws out? No access to push from underneath due to bulkheads.

Good call, I tried that early on by removing the fuel sending unit to make sure the tank had adequate ventilation. At 12yrs old I permanantly imploded a portable fuel tank one time in a skiff by not opening the vent after refueling, didnt learn what really happened untill after I swam the...

Untill recently the entire fuel system on my 98' 208 was factory stock and worked great untill I noticed my engine wanting to stall at a dead idle, even when warmed up. Runs perfectly above 800rpms. Always used Yamalube, RingFree & Startron/Stabil, never sits for over 2 weeks, etc etc. I did...

I understand what you are trying to accomplish. When a stern corner is loaded with 600lbs there is some water on the deck, that is not unusual. As purely a temporary dinner cruise fix for when the ladies don't want to get their shoes wet go to home depot and find the proper size plumbers test...

http://www.gradyowner.com/20wa.html This should clear it up.

When I last changed mine I had the same problem. Since the pump kit came with a new key I clamped a set of vice grips onto the key and tapped with a hammer in all directions until it slid loose. Be careful not to mess up the key slot, tapping in parallel with shaft should reduce the risk...

I agree, I would just like to bump my bait pump up to something in the 1100+gph range. Its no fun watching $100/doz gogs die due to poor circulation.

Has anyone located a chart of hose sizes to gph capacities. I want to increase my bait pump size as much as possible without overstressing a pump, or changing my plumbing.

I have an A60 which is very similiar to the 65 with the same software and just a slightly smaller and lower resolution screen. The pros: My package unit was $500 out the door including antenna, sounder module, and transducer. Stock transom-mount transducer; great sounder to about 300' beyond...
