Agree, these hoses can be a bear to remove. I ended up using a dremel to cut thru them.

Best of luck on your new boat!

I used black acrylic on adventure 208. DIY project.

Not saying I would not love a 228, but I fished pretty hard in 17 whaler, tuna, mahi and lots more. A lot to be said on the simplicity of smaller skiff to. But yeah, a 228 would be awesome. I agree, a new 218 is a pretty spendy boat. At that price, I'd be looking at other options.

congrats on your new boat, enjoy!

Hey Trapper - can you post some pics when you have a chance, I'd love to see some of those upgrades. Which autopilot did you go with?

I have the same issue. As suggested, I use the battery box cover. I had to cut one cover down to make it fit, it works and I feel a little better about.

Thanks all! Appreciate the input.

Skunk, Hookup - I agree with you guys. I cant explain it well w/o the boat close by. Thanks again!

Apologies if I was not clear, I have an ACR, I believe my batteries are wired in parallel, I have 1/2/both selector switch and currently have 2 dual purpose batteries. In my situation, I select 1 battery for the day, the ACR will charge both regardless. Based on the comments, I think I will...

Hi all, I have a Yami 150 4 stroke, with 2 dual group 27 batteries and I also have a ACR. Unfortunately, no wiring diagram but they are wired in parallel. My gauges say the yamaha charges at 14.6. I run my bait tank and vhf all the time and run the motor 90% of the time while on the water.

A recent post by POP got me thinking. I have a Adventure 208, single motor, 2 battery set up. Both of my batteries are Dual Cycle. I run a bait tank, VHF, lights, and at times plug in a Road King oven to heat up food. (and obviously a bilge when needed) What is preferred for this size boat...

congrats and enjoy your new boat!

making great progress! keep us posted.

Ha - it all starts with a simple question! I would love to step up to a 228 as well.

WOW - awesome addition!

I struggled to get mine out, and the ones I destroyed, I replaced with a nut in the back. I was able to reach into the back from the "glovebox" underneath. Adventure 208 model.

Ha - I did not make that bag! I wish I could. Purchased on line.

Hi Dennis - I just got a new impeller installed. The old one was a little burnt, that is what led me to just get this bag. Motor and I are happier.

For all the reasons Skunk mentioned. My old Johnson motor never had any issues, but this 150 yamaha does not pull enough water in to prime the pump, even when i use a higher pressure hose on it. Jury is still out on how long this will last, my buddy has been using one for 6 years though and...
