    WTB Set of late model 208 cushions

    Try affordablecushions.com. If you contact them, and have pictures of the area, they actually have a lot of the templates. You can even search for them by model. I can't speak to the actual product, as I didn't order any yet. (Boat is too far from me during winter to give the pics requested...

    ISO Console from 1999-2010 Escape 209

    I have a 93 escape. Same exact console. I have always wondered if there were upgrade possibilities. Also, If you don't mind, can you PM a ballpark of what the tank replacement ran, and where you had it done? I haven't any issues yet, but 93 is a LONG time ago. I would feel much more...

    New to me Escape 209

    I have a 1993 Escape that I bought about ten years ago. Switches and the breakers under them have needed to be replaced, which is kind of a pain, as they are no longer available through Grady. I found them at hardware stores (breakers) and with some luck online (switches). The boat I bought...

    nav lights switch replacement

    all the switches seem to be working well except for the lack of power to the nav lights. that being said, boat is a 93 so there are some issues with aging.... I know the one post is getting power to the stern light. I connected what I believe to be the nav lights wire to that and still nothing...

    nav lights switch replacement

    Thank you for this. Gradys switch only had six pins. As does the one I replaced it with. Although since your reply is so clear I may go back and purchase one with 7 IDK In this pic the switch is the second in from the left but when I duplicate it, it pops the jumper like you said plus I...

    nav lights switch replacement

    I have a 93 escape and the nav lights were not working this spring, upon commissioning. I opened the panel and noticed on of the terminals on the switch had cracked. I found an on/off/on switch that had the same footprint to replace it and attempted to rewire everything just as it was prior...

    Repower on 20 escape

    I am looking to repower a 20 escape. I have a trustworthy mechanic friend who has a used yamaha f150. currently has a 175 two stroke. I am wondering if the F150 is too little power for this model? Has anyone tried this combination?

    water in bilge

    I went to pick up my 20 escape (on trailer) to take it to get it serviced and I noticed after a heavy rain that water was pouring out of the bilge. I know that it is normal for water to come out the scuppers while the boat is on the trailer, but should water be collecting in the bilge like this...

    how often do you run WOT

    I'm on board with fisher. I try to exercise it occasionally, usually at end of the day trip, as I do not get to use the boat often enough. I want to make sure it gets some exercise.

    Busted for riding on the bow

    not to drag this out further, but i remember growing up on my dad's 86 seafarer and the front seats were definitely front seats. I also remember that a couple years later, i think around 88, they raised the cuddy cabin in the front and the cushions were still available to be placed on that...

    yamaha 175, older (1993)

    I have posted a few tiimes regarding an older engine I have in regards to an oil leak. I think I have solved that problem by replacing many of the check valves (among many other more expensive fixes). However, when I last started the engine, it ran like crap. It was missing and was hard to...

    engine help 175 yamaha

    Thank you to all of you for all of your help. yes, it's a lot of money to invest in an older engine. it wouldn't have been that bad if the first mechanic wouldn't have replaced the oil pump. i really didn't think that was the issue, but..... and it's definitely not slobber. it is pooling...
