Thanks for this as you've answered half of my question. I wet-slip her, and don't know how to turn off the automatic pump. That said, I've never really cleaned in there and wondering if I'm doing something wrong, i.e. missing essential maintenance.

In an effort to shine her up, I was wondering if I man supposed to clean the bilge. The access is very limited, so I came across a StarBrite product that is "set and forget". The boat is maintained and serviced every year by the selling dealer, but the bilge is a bit of a "black box" to me...

Hi I have a Fisherman 216 from 2018 and the handle from the Domestic portal-potti fell off. It is missing a piece. Anyone know what piece holds the handle to the pull thingy? Pic enclosed. Thanks in advance.

Fisherman 216 here. What do you use to lubricate the pylon? Cleaning shaft with just water or salt away ? thanks

Thinking about 4-footitis and upgrading in the next year or so. I’ve been on a couple of Cobia’s and noticed something. They both rode bow-high compared to my 21 Grady center console. One Cobia was a 28 dual console and the other was a 34 center console. My Grady rides flat, but I do have...

i just completed my third season with my 2018 Fisherman 216 single engine, 2 batteries and wondering if I should go another year. Sounds like 4 or 5 years is reasonable. ive never had a battery hiccough and the engine starts immediately every time. Next year I think I will carry a portable...

Parked meaning wet slipped. Sorry for confusion. I do see variation depending on angle of hull which I expect. I don’t go far so I no longer fill the tank and keep it around half capacity. I had just added 30’gallons to what I thought was 10 so I was clearly only half full thanks for all the...

Gotcha. Spoke to dealer he said same. Not to worry. He said best way to monitor fuel is fuel burn so reset after fill up.

2018 Fisherman 216. Then other day gas gauge pinned at full and I know I had about 40 gallons. Today registering a more reasonable 45 gallons. At first I thought It was just being up on plane but even after I parked it registered full. I opened the gas cap at some point thinking maybe...

Dealer says 1 year warranty on boat but good idea to call Grady. Ritchie website says 5 year warranty on their compass so I am within warranty. Next question is how do I take it out? Can’t find a YouTube video on that.

Hello all gain and thanks for all the advice Just launched :cool: and noticed the Ritchie compass is cockeyed and poorly responsive. There is a small bubble, too. I have 2018 Fisherman 216, and this is the first I noticed it. How can I fix that? There are a couple screws on the bottom, small...

I had the marina do it for me - they cleaned and painted. Nominal cost. Appreciate all the help!

This is what it looks like. The bottom part, the lens, is also covered in this same, white, blotchy stuff. She has been bottom painted and looks like she's ready to go back in so I need to move quickly if I am to clean it up. I assume this is the reason for the impaired image quality.

So now that boat is on land the transducer has a bunch of white blotches on it. I assume that is (or was ) barnacles. What specific chemicals or process can clean the surface so I get clearer images next year

So I can scrub it with one of my boat brushes? The one I use for the gel coat should be soft enough. I think I may bring it to marina and have the midsummer haul out and wash and look at it myself, and with them

It was installed by a reputable dealer so I would hope that they would have picked compatible equipment

The screen is a Garmin GPSMAP 1242 xsv I feel like the image is degraded. But I can’t recall. The boat is wet slipped during the season and dry over the winter. I had it cleaned and bottom painted. I never saw it on the set so I don’t know what the transducer looked like before it splashed

I have a Garmin GT41-TM down view side view 500 w traditional sonar and the imaging seems degraded. I am, of course, Neto much of this. The boat is wet-slipped and bottom painted. Ive Seen the screens from other boats and it seems better detail. I don’t know what they Have other than Garmin...

The dealer said the paint won’t match, it has to be repaired ?
