Just completed a test on my Overnighter, look at thread Prop Test. I am happy with my new 4 blade S/S Power Tech Prop.

We were in the bay with a 10 knt wind and yes we were but further evaluation is coming. The boat handling was could be noticed right from the dock.

A great day on the water and it all stayed out of the boat! and the Chargers won! And the prop test cost me some more dough! (See propeller test thread just started.) We need to get together sometime to check out the rigs.

Job complete. After measuring my armpit to fingertip I was at 27". My fishing partner measured in at 34", that is what it took for the final fitting to be secured thru the tackle drawer area. I found the drawer guides (not original) for the tackle drawers at Rockler.com. Sea trial tomorrow to...

Thanks all, progress report! After removing the port tackle drawers access has been gained, just need about 5 more inches of arm length and I am there. The starboard side was more of a bear than expected, at 1 point I came up for air and their was blood smeared everywhere. A true knuckle, elbow...

Just my 2 cents I bought '89 overnighter w/2001 225 Evinrude last September also in SD. I've spent the last few weeks replacing all plastic thru hull fittings with bronze. Look to see if the fittings are plastic, if so that may be a source as was mine. Mine too has bottom paint which I am now...

Thanks all, taking a little break to let the cuts on my arm heal, boats at the shop for service and returns on Monday for completion of job. Details to follow. New post will be on prop size

Nice work on the upgrades. Dinner is served. Can't wait to get mine back on the water!

So far wholesalemarine.com is the winner. I will however buy at San Diego marine exchange to insure the right items the 1st time. Only a few bucks more. Got an email from Linda in the parts dept at Grady White, she is researching the drawer glides now.

Yesterday with the assistance of my skinny long armed friend we removed all plastic fittings below and above waterline. Today I'll purchase bronze fittings for exterior and s/s for helm drains. New hose and clamps and will install tomorrow. This is when the fun will really begin. Anybody know of...

Spent the afternoon gaining access to the thru hulls. Port helm accessed through tackle storage under seat by removing drawer cabinet entirely. Now I just need that long, skinny armed friend to reach into to help out. The tackle drawer glides need to be replace I discovered, "Sheerglide". Google...

Heard from a former 208 owner in SD that he had the same challenge and accessed the fitting by removing the drawer box under the port helm pedestal for the seat. Really do not want to put a blade to the boat, but if necassary will be done. The plastic fittings are beyond re-sealing, time for...

I just spent an hour searching the topic here and have not found the answer so here I go: My 1989 Onighter has a cracked plastic thru hull on port side that drains fishbox and helm deck. How in the world do you access the fitting, it seems humanly impossible. Also will be replacing the...

I picked '89 Overnighter last september, hope you enjoy too,
