First thing, get the access door. That will detirmine what will be required to cut the hole. I used a 41/2" hole saw. It made a neat hole, and the install of the plate was alot easier. Use a 1/2" chuck electric drill. The fuel line went in, no problem. The vent line was the real problem.

The covers that are on the 241 Offshore are easy to make. I made 2 new ones using pressure treated plywood. Just use the one you have as a template. Hopefully the ones on the 208 are the same way.

Did you replace the filler hose and vent hose when you put in the new tank??

When I got my father's 241, he had painted the bottom black. The main problem with that was the rollers on the trailer left black marks on the white portion of the hull. You could see how the rollers loaded the boat on the trailer, or unloaded the boat off the trailer. The only way to remove...

I have the 5.7, but it's an OMC with FWC. You will have to remove the right side exhaust manifold and the sill that borders the engine cover. Disconnect the battery first. A kid with skinny long arms really helps for that inboard bolt!! Don't forget to mark the solonoid wires, and write it...

Is the bilge pump running more than before? Have you relocated heavier stuff to the stern?

I would have been all over them long before now. There is definitly something wrong. Perhaps a call to the states attorney may be in order. Maybe they sold you a used boat, but have not told the previous owner it is sold. Pure speculation on my part.

The publisher is named Ken Cook Company. They carry factory manuals. They may also be listed as outboardbooks.com. I found them after a google search.

There is a publisher located in Minn. that should have what you are lookingfor. I have their address on my computer in my office downtown. When I am in the office on Wed., I'll pull it and post it. You will need to provide the model #.

If you choose to pull the engine, drive and assoc wiring before taking the boat to the yard, remember that the removal of all that weight from the rear of the trailer will drastically change the tongue weight. In my case, I couldn't crank the nose of the trailer up with the trailer jack to get...

I've got the OMC outdrive on my 87 241offshore. I pull the drive off every fall and replace the o-rings, grease the internal u-joints, adjust the infamous intermiediate shift cable, and check engine alignment. I also change the lower unit fluid. I save a sample and check it after a few days to...

I stopped at the BW in severna park today. The signs stated 25-50% off, but I sure didn't see any bargains. And the store was a dump, piles of stuff all over the place. I left kinda disgusted. Probably won't be back.
