I have been using Lexol leather products on my saddles and bridles for years. Good Stuff. I would imagine their Vinlex for vinyl and plastic would be good. 303 Aerospace Protectorant is as good as any also.

I assume you are speaking of Australian dollars. Yamaha quotes US$20,600 as their suggested retail for the F200 4 cylinder. Discounted maybe to 18K plus rigging.

Just beware of used motors on the east coast. Many were submerged during the recent flooding.

Re: New Grady Owner - 221 Pacific, Anyone Have information o I looked at a few on line and it appears that the Pacific is the same as the Overnighter, just with an I/O. Good luck with your boat. Looks pretty good.

I would say you should stick with the 100 hour service schedule for your Yamaha. You don't need new thermos or an impeller . Fill up the tank with non-ethanol and throw in some Stabil Marine and the engine should be fine. Make sure there is no water in your on-board lines that can expand when...

Perko makes a replacement light that fits most of their two contact bases and the light head is adjustable. http://www.perko.com/catalog/navigation ... ole_light/

Keep in mind that your Grady is not a Yellow Fin or a Pursuit. It is not designed for high speeds. It is designed for stability in rough water and longevity. A 30 MPH or so cruise speed is exactly what it is designed for.

Sea trial that puppy..then you will know.

Your present engine weighs in at about 390 lbs. Any new 4 stroke is going to be significantly heavier and your boat was not designed for that . They changed the set up for the 208 with four strokes around 2002. So, a new Yamaha 4 cylinder F200 weighs about 100 lbs more. Same with Merc 200...

Cam position sensors are a buga-boo in so many engines, marine or otherwise. I had the same issue in my Yamaha F200 and my Ford F350 Power Stroke diesel tow vehicle at he exact same time. Yam was on warranty, Ford was a recall...no expense but lots of head aches.

And flushing the motor has nothing to do with the problem!

Hope you enjoy your TC! There are those keyboard commodores on THT that would flame you if you bought your 2 year old a plastic bathtub boat.

I'm no expert but does it have brakes? You will need brakes for your size boat.

I have the new F200 4 banger on my new Pioneer 222. It is a great motor! You might want to call Andy at SIM Yamaha. 800-213-3323. He is very knowledgeable about Yamamha engines and would be more than willing and able to help you. He is a Yamaha dealer and guru. His e-mail is...

I bought my 208 in 2004 from Hobby Lobby and they treated me great. I know you will continue the great service Grady dealers are known for. Best of luck to you all.

Salt Away has acid in it and vinegar is also an acid and over time could do some damage to metal parts, one would think.

Horn...squirt some WD40 in it and bang on it with your fist a few times after leaving it sit for a few minutes. Worked several times for me.

To dispel any fear, I have traveled all over Central America. There are many F250s on fishing boats down there. Some look like they did two tours in Afghanistan. These boats go out everyday, taking tourists fishing or diving or whatever. Maintenance seems little or non existent. They just...
