Good to know. thanks

I am not sure I would take the chance that a new helm cover wouldn't fit but the factory helm cover uses the same snap locations as the factory front, side, and drop curtains. I am trying to remember who made the covers for Grady in 2000.

The need to pump the throttle when cold to keep the motor running is most likely related to engine timing. It is a fuel problem that can be related to several things. The choke mechanism comes to mind first. When you pump the throttle you are activating the high speed jet pump and than adds...

1995TXRT is not a valid model number. I searched my files and I think I founds what the upper adjustment is but I have never worked on a motor with that adjustment. The upper adjustment that seems to be disconnected ot broken is the timing adjustment. Different models have different spark timing...

There was a helm cover option for the 208. It does not hang from the hardtop but attaches to the top of the windshield, the sides of the helm and then over the seats an finally snapped to the outside of the helm seat lockers. It is pretty good at diverting rain and keeping the helm dry...

The lower linkage is for the precision oil injection pump. That pumps adjusts the oil ratio depending on revs. The oil pump linkage is spring loaded and if the linkage is not adjusted or disconnected. the pump runs at full volume all the time. That will eventually result in carbon fouled plugs...

Are you sure that is the model? What year is it?

How many batteries and did you disconnect them all? There should have be a blach smaller guaage cable connected to one of the battery negative terminals in addition to the fatter black cable. The smaller size wire is the main ground for accessories.

In addition to the check suggested , some livewells have a inlet valve in the livewell that regulates the water flow. It may look like a knob or a odd vent style fitting that can be turned

Plumbers grease available in small tubes works well and does not dry out like soaps do.

I give mine a fairly hard tightening with a crescent wrench, I do apply a few turns of teflon tape. That keeps the plug from binding and make removing easier.

As far as I know, Florida Marine Tanks is still in business. Give them a call. They are not in Florida :) https://www.floridamarinetanks.com/contact-us/

I didn't realize this was a new boat. Forget what I said and contact the dealer

I would try to drive in one screw without sealant or the flange just to see if the core is hard or soft. Soft may be an indicator of an issue that needs additional investigation. If the core is firm and the screw can be screwed in as far it it needs to go then remove it apply your 4200 to the...

Can you get a screw out? You need to confirm that the frame attached with screws as opposed to bolts and nuts. If screws and they are spinning, there are several reasons: The screw is snapped off, The screw corroded and is too thin, the hole is too wide.( most probably if you have screws. In...

Is the shower sump separate from the bilge?. Does the mid sump pump cycle on and off to drain the bilge? I am not familiar with the 265 so my questions may seem obvious. In most of the hull models, water can accumulate in the mid bilge and normally at some level will drain towards the aft bilge...

If you mean the cylindrical bushing that slips into the round tubular seat base you cab find them in lots of places' Amazon will have them. Your needed diameter is 2 7/8 inches. The lip can be different so you need to match yours up to the options. Most marine stores will have them also.Here...

As I read your post, I was saying to myself " That could be on my "worst jobs I have tackled on a boat" list. Then you said the same thing! Congrats on your persistence.

Running the motor with a 50:1 mix and with the oil injection system, is different than disabling the oil system and just running premix

I can't say for Zukes but I can say that using a separate tank with premix on 2 stroke Yamis or Mercs can be asking for trouble. In some cases big time trouble. First of all, both Yamis and Merc Optis use variable ratio oiling based on engine speed ( Actually throttle position, The OX66 Yamis...
