I agree with everyone about losing faith in Yamaha. How they handled this was poor, they must expect to lose customers. I am headed to the NY show, and will tell the yamaha staff how disheartening this is to owners. I try to take everything I hear with a grain of salt on THT, but I am...

Where in the valley did you pick up your boat? Is lived in Charlottesville for years. I did a lot of boating in lake Anna. I was one of two Gradys on the lake.

Thanks for the response guys. Where are you going to get your cover for the 205? I can't find someone to do this unless its custom. Thanks, Frank

Who fully covers their moored boat? If partially covered, what do you cover? Thanks Guys

Does anyone have a photo of a ski pylon on a tournament 205?

Yamaha seems to no longer have archived performance bulletins on their website, sorry for the bad news.

I have (knock on wood) good luck with my Yamaha outboards, but after the 225 issue, and now the 150, I am going to take a hard look at another brand for my next repower. I want a company that will stand behind their product.

I have a tournament 205. After keeping on the trailer for the past two years, I am rack storing it now. I don't want to buy a fully snapped cover for the boat, but I want the best protection possible. What would you suggest? Would a cockpit cover be ok? Will the gelcoat fade at a different...

I also bought a boat from SC, and brought it home to VA. I was fortunate, and the seller had the original bill of sale, which worked for the DMV. I was not so lucky titling my ATV. The DMV has an affidavit that you send Richmond, they review your case, and accept it based on your conditions...

I also have a 205. I have had is for just over a year now. I love the boat. It is pretty easy to tow with my V6 Tacoma. I am also 6'3" and find the binnacle too low. I have the F200, but only hit a top speed of 37 mph. I have nothing but good things to say. The head of course is very small...

Thanks for the info HMB. Next time I'm at the boat, I'll change the fluid, and tighten the bolts.

I replaced the screw gaskets, I really hope I just didn't tighten the bolt hard enough. I did damage I would be pretty pissed at myself. Thanks for he quick reply.

I hear ya with the seat prices. I have a molded captains chair on my 205. I wanted to slat type, and was quoted the same $800. I posted online and went to the source company, but still too expensive. I'm keeping an eye out for a used one, knowing I would have to re cover it. Cheers

I changed my lower unit fluid for the first time on my F200 about 3 months ago. I have done this service on my old T40 several times. Since then I have taken out my boat twice. I noticed yesterday, that I was leaking lower unit lube. I changed both gaskets once the oil was changed. It seems...

My 205 with an F200 128 hours and aluminum trailer for $24k.

I just bought a used 205 Tournament, but I always go to the boat show for see whats out there for accessories.

For the past 15 years I have been going to either the New York Boat Show, Boston In Water Show, or/and the New England Boat Show. They are HUGE shows and take nearly the whole day to get through. Since I moved to Virginia I have attended the Baltimore boat show twice and have been disappointed...

The gunk in black. Can excessive bleach damage the tank and hoses? does bleach eat away fiberglass?

I am sorry to hear this, your grady was in great shape. I understand your pain, I picked up a 205 this February. I know that if something happens to it I cannot replace it for the price I paid for it. Good luck with your recovery.

Great response, thanks.
