I may have misled you a bit. I have run cables on different boats and mat have confused the 208 with a Mako I once owned. On the 208 open the pie plate in the cabin on the wall behind the helm. That may be where you will see the rigging tubes. It sucks getting old:) Suffering from CRS!

Thinking this over again, I have a few questions. You say that water drains after you boat in chop. What are the details of when that happens? Is it at a boat ramp? If so, water may be running aft from the forward bilge, a fairly common characteristic of V hulls. You say you don't see water in...

I would be surprised if that is where the water is getting in. Assuming the chop is not washing over the deck, I would look at the deck mold to hull mold seam under the rub rail. Not all that easy to do. One test that might help is to use a hose to really soak the deck and everything on it. If...

The rigging tubes are on the starboard side. There are two of them. The exact location changed in the 2001 model year or perhaps earlier. The change moved the tubes closer to the starboard hull. You can see the area where all the cables and harnesses go into the tubes using the pie plate but it...

That is in the ballpark for installation. It can be a bit lower depending on specific cases. One big expense is the glass work to enclose the trim tab pockets if there are any. Complete integration to an MFD will require a N2K network and MFD configuration . There also is the initial config of...

As mentioned, you need to match the gypsy to the chain and line. The chain should have the type stamped on the links. There are several versions of 5/16 or 1/4 chain . Since you said that the problem occurs mostly at the line to chain splice and that the rode has been changed twice, I suspect...

I have the 450 Ride on my 26 foot non Grady boat. The system kicks in at 10 mph and does nothing below that speed so if you are looking for something to stabilize you boat when just sitting or low speed trolling, the Ride wont help At speed however, the system really does reduce rolling or...

Based on the title of the post, I assumed two engines. In that case, the existing battery arrangement info is needed to make suggestions.

If I understand your loads correctly, you have 3300 watts RMS draw for the stereo alone. That doesn't sound right to me. Your 200 amp LiPo battery at 12 volts has a capacity of 2400 watt hours that will be depleted in just under 45 minutes. Something seems off.

The center of gravity for that hull is 80 inches off of the transom. On your rack, you would want that COG sitting on the bunks with a couple of feet of hull touching on both sides of the bunk. Those spacings are not as critical as might be the case for other boat models since your hull is solid...

I didn't read the post all the way to the bottom:( I now understand what XID technology is. In the warmer months I will check the cable and connector.

I am not sure I will sleep well not knowing how that signal is processed:)

I based my answer on the assumption that the motor is an I4 model. It may be a V6. Also, does the boat have trim tabs? As mentioned, the WOT revs are in range, perhaps a bit low but the slip calculation seems high. With respect to motor trimmed up. The amount of motor trim is not very useful...

The sonar function is OK. I did turn it on on land and the Gramin 8616 displayed the sonar info. The temperature didn't display but I was not able to determine if that is a MFD config issue or a bad temp sensor. Although I believe that the temp had been displaying on the sonar screen along with...

Nice work! The trouble shooting I researched did mention a fuse that should be checked but to be honest, I assumed that if the fuse was bad, the gauge would be black ( not display any data) Learned something new:)

Calculated slip at 5200 revs is a bit over 20% which seems high to me. The typical prop diameter for F200 in-line four is 14 1/2 inch diameter, 17 or 18 pitch

The Airmar B75H transducer should not be turned on when it is not in the water to avoid over heating. My question is : When the transducer is disabled using the Garmin 8616 MFD, the sonar definitely stops but does the temp sensor stop working also. Mine does not send temp data but I was sure it...

Dont know for certain but it might be easier to swap the cables on the back of the guages assuming the cables will reach

If Command Link, the info comes over the CAN bus from the CDI (ECU). The ECU apparently get the signal from the I found this posting about the same issue. the tach send terminal can be checked using the AC meter function and a known good ground. dark green is tach send,yellow is key on 12V...
