Hi Guys, I really could use some help. I have a 2014 208 Adventure. Earlier this summer, while in the middle of lake Erie, I lost my GPS and of course autopilot and plotter. Rebooted, and checked fuses. Nothing blown. I want in to my Grady dealer who installed the electronics. He removed the...

While trying to load my new 208 at ramp last week, in a wicked cross wind, I caught the marina's sidewall corner and scraped the rub rail and gouged about an inch of the rubber. Today I noticed the scrape on the stainless was rusting. I know the first ding is the worst and I will probably have...

I recently installed Cisco gimbel mount rod holders on my 208. Thry are rock solid, adjust to every conceivable angle, machined from solid aluminum and made in the U.S.A. I installed a pair of the triple rod holders. I believe they have holders that can accommodate at least four rods. Google...

While returning to marina in Erie recently, I ran into a very thick fog bank that reduced visiblity to less than 100 yards. Navagating wasn't a problem, but I was sure severely puckered up for fear of a collision. The view through left windshield was 0, for all practical purposes. My 2014 208...

I have 150' of 1/2" line in my 208's locker for a Lewmar Pro Sport windlass. I have been told that I could do better, lengthwise. Could some 208 owners please advise as to thier locker capacity. Surely, there must be a definitive answer somewhere.

Thanks Tuna Man I just heard from Lewmar. They do not manufacture any windlass' that will handle 3/8 line. I guess that's that!

Than you gentlemen. That confirms everything I've read or heard. My anchor is a Fortress rated for a 16-27 foot boat. It feels very light and constantly jams up on retrieve in the roller and requires me go to the bow and knock it loose before I can drop anchor again. Pretty much defeating the...

Whoops! Of course I meant 1/2 inch 3 strand rope. Sorry about that.

I recently took delivery on a brand spanking new 2014 208 Adventure. I could not be happier with my boat or the dealer. After my third trip alone onto lake Erie, I am a ltttle apprehensive concering the length of rode. I have Lewmar 550 Pro Sport windlass and medium bow roller with 150 feet...

Retired Director of engineering for major restaurant chains. Recently closed on my first Grady. 208 Adventure. Just waiting for the ice breakup on lake Erie.

Hey LB, as an afterthought I would also like to advise that not only does the 741xs fit , but I had room to add the autopilot screen as well with room to spare.

I just had my new 2014 208 delivered and had a741xs installed with flush mount. It is in mho a perfect fit and a beautiful job. I will post pictures Iif I can figure how to do it. GW can confirm that you have the same size compartment, I assume.

I ordered a 2014 208 adventure with delivery to the dealer scheduled for January. Options for them to install include a Lewmar 550 prosport. After checking other installs in the area they thought the best, or safest, rope length would be 150 feet of 1/2 rope and 20 feet of 1/4 chain. As I will...

I just ordered my first Gw. A 2014 208 Adventure hardtop w/winch, roller, autopilot, Garmen740s ff/gps.and a 9.9 kicker. I will contact the good folks that are building her and see if I could schedule a trip to watch and learn about the inner workings. Come April I'll probably fish myself to...
