I'm looking for cabin, rod racks for my 2004 Journey. I've seen threads for owners custom fabricating them but those links are ancient. Any updates on solutions for cabin rod storage? Any venders out there? Thanks for any advice. Travis

I've read many of the threads on replacing these hoses on other models but not the Journey. Mine are not leaking but they are looking their age. Cracking and rusty. I can see the port side when I take out the battery switch box. How do you get to the starboard ones? I read about guys...

I need to replace the cabin door strap. The velcro is no longer velcroing. The nearest dealer, 3 hours away says he only has clear plastic with a snap. He was not confident that this worked on my boat. Any ideas? Can I only use the velco model? Any place we can get this part online? Sick...

I'm starting to look into upgrading my OEM trim tab switch to one with indicator lights. Has anyone done this? I've got a list of parts numbers from Bennett and they swear it's easy. Just looking for some lessons from those with real word experience. The one option they asked about if I...

Has anyone fabricated a divider system that can go in the built in fish box to cut the interior space in half or less? When we are not catching stripers most of our catch is under 24" and I'd love to not have to buy so much ice to properly cover our catch. I'm thinking about constructing...

I noticed that when we left a towel in our sink it was soaked after a day out on the ocean. Our fresh water system is never filled. I can only assume that water is backing up through the thru hull. Is that true? If so I need to plug that sink drain. Has anyone found the appropriate size...

My gps/sonar picks up static when I accelerate and Garmin recommends a water ground for the unit. What are the suggested areas to ground to on my 258? I'd rather not have to run a ground all the way to the stern. Thanks

My factory installed livewell pump (Rule 1100 model) gave up today. When I closed the seacock and pulled the motor unit off, it's mounted on top of the factory seacock, water was still coming through. The flow is diminished but only by 50%. The seacock arm seemed to be working just fine, and...

Is there a recommended way to unplug the fish box drain? More importantly is there a really wrong way to do it? I don't want to break anything. Happily I think it might have some scales in there, it's taking over night drain out an inch of water. I blasted the water hose in there but it's...

Getting ready to polish up the boat for the spring and I had some questions about cleaning the different surfaces on our Journey. I'm set for the hull but the other areas are a little bit of guess work. Those are: -Topside: wax all exterior surfaces, same as hull? -non skid: Wax or no wax...

Hello all- Marking up a new anchor rode for depth and need to know the height from bow pulpit to the water line. This is for my 2004 Journey. Thanks!

I am considering installing an auxiliary fuel tank on my 2004 Journey. I need the fuel capacity for offshore fishing. Has anyone done this? Do I buy the factory tank from GW or is there a better after market option. Also How difficult is this? Any photos would be greatly appreciated...

I've seen a few threads on replacing the scupper flaps but none really answered my question. I need 4x flaps for 1.5 inch flaps and I can only find kits that carry two and other sizes I don't need. Has anyone every found a source where you can but just the flap size and quantity you want...

On our new 2004 Journey it has a macerator and I'm unfamiliar with how they work and how to winterize them. We've had portable heads on our past boats and were quite happy with those. I'm not really excited about trying to find a pump out service in my area. One thought was can I unplug this...

We just purchased a 2004 258 and we're thrilled with the boat. It's our first boat with 4 stroke power, and twin outboards!! Amazing. One problem we've had a couple of times is the sink faucet getting pushing to the on position and then when the fresh water pump is turned on for the outside...

I own a 95, 208 but I think we've decided to move up to new 258. A few questions, as I've never purchased a new boat. We live in Brooklyn NY. Any thoughts on the best dealer to trek too. They're all far away. I checked Spellman's but they don't seem to have a boat in stock. How long does...

As per a previous post I went out and purchased a new horn at the end of last season and went to install it today. When I pulled off the old horn I realized there was probably not enough wire to just attached to the new horn (would have taken the crimp and shrink wrap mod which I don't like...

I have a 95 208 right now but I think we're ready to move up. We fish a ton but also have the wife would like to have a little more room for us to sleep on when we overnight, once or twice a year. I'm only interested in used. I'd like to keep this under 50k if possible. One of my bigger...

My electric horn just stopped working. It looks original. Using a multimeter I confirmed it's getting power. Right now it kinda clicks when you hit the button. One side is getting hot. The screws are all kinda crusty and didn't want to budge when I tried getting further in. I'm wondering...

I have a 95 Adventure 208 and just received a new factory bow pulpit. The pulpit is very Grady White beige. The boat is white. The question is should the dealer have asked what color do I want or was my boat beige in 95 and now faded to white? Thanks, Travis
