    208 kicker install

    Here is how i rigged my GW 205 with a T-8 kicker. I too moved the swim platform to the starboard side. I also replaced my sleeper lounge with another captain chair. I have absolutely no use for that lounge. I've rigged many boats over the years, in my small marine shop. I used a Panther Marine...

    205 VHF Antenna Mount Location?

    :hmm Looking for advice on the mounting location for my new Shakespeare mount and antenna. I'm thinking the short vertical rise that the windshield sits on top of. So it would be a side mount, then rise 90*. Any thoughts? Thanks

    In the Water

    I saw a guy do this last spring backing his boat down a landing into the Mississippi river. He got out to unload the boat but never took it out of reverse. New 3/4 passenger van went in to the roof. We got a wrecker down there and hooked on and towed him out. What a mess! :jaw

    Steering wheel removal?

    Well I finished the helm. I actually opened both bleeders on the ram. Then put a short CLEAR 5/16" hose over each bleeder valve making a loop from one to the other. Then attached my qt bottle to the fill tube which was attached to the tilt helm. Punctured the bottom of the qt bottle with a pin...

    Steering wheel removal?

    Helm update! I received my tilt helm back on Friday from marine control systems in North Carolina. Gary rebuilt the unit and got it right back to me. Cost of rebuild, $165 shipping included. Just a small fraction of a new helm. Here in MN, the dealers just wanted to replace the helm :huh I...

    Adding a Downrigger to a 232 Gulfstream

    A don't know what abeam (location) means, but I'm running two cannon mag 10's electrics, one on each side of my 205. They are mounted on gimbal mounts and used in the rod holder. Ok so far, no extra backer plates either.

    Steering wheel removal?

    Mboy I took it out and sent it to marine control systems in NC. Tele star in Vancouver said to send it there and they will rebuild it. Talked to them and got a quote of $140. They appeared to be good folks. Even that price is way better than a new one at $600. Most marinas around here just put...

    Steering wheel removal?

    My 2009 Tournament 205 helm (hydraulic tilt) started leaking last year. I'm going to remove it and have it rebuilt. How does the steering wheel come off! Looks like a large chrome nut that one unscrews? Or is the chrome piece just a cap that pops off to access the steering nut to remove the...

    208 Adventure kicker shaft length

    I have a 2009 205 with a F-250. I mounted a Yamaha T-8 with a 25" shaft. Mine does not drag in the water while on plane, but F 250 picks me up out of the water quite well. A 25" shaft works good as I mounted it on a panther marine model 35 stationary bracket as the T-8 has tilt and trim!

    Trolling motor on 208

    Your going to need a 72" shaft on that large bow. I have a 205 and 60" is not enough. I've been waiting for a 72" shaft and minn Kota finally has one for their Terrova 112. It's a special order! That's the only model that currently offers a 72". I've talked to the motor guide reps about their...

    Anyone with a Radar Arch or Kicker on their 205?

    Not sure of the degrees! Dealer installed! I will check location. It's on the port side off the keel. Will check exact location. I run a touch 12 & 7 on the console linked together. 7 for navigation, and 12 for side scan/ down scan/2d sonar.
