Fisherman 209
Hi,I have just joined your forum as I have purchased a 2012 fisherman 209 that sank just before Covid and has sat on its trailer ever since. I am looking to restore it and am making enquiries as to the possibility of wiring looms being available for that model.
Also parts etc. Just want to get an idea of what’s available in the US.

Any ideas or info appreciated.

Sorry to hear about your boat sinking... what happened? You say that you've got a 290 Fisherman, which isn't a Grady White model. Are you referring to the 290 Chesapeake? Here's a link to the 2012 parts manual and the parts numbers that you might need. For the 290 Chesapeake, they mention on page 140 about some of the wiring harnesses. Some of the parts numbers would be 16-026 and 16-027, depending on what you're actually looking for. I imagine a call to your local Grady White dealership might be more beneficial though to see if they have any of those items in stock and/or still available. Good luck!

Sorry I hadn’t realised that I had put 290, as it is actually a Fisherman 209 so will make the change in my post. Thank you also for taking the time to post for the other parts.
Not sure how it sank but torrential rain did play a part.
 
Download Owners Manual from GW. Call Grady White Customer Service. They may be able to provide some documentation - the boat is only 14 years old. Looks like the last year the offered a 209 Fisherman was 2016 but they still make a 180 and 216 Fisherman in 2026. I doubt you will find a wiring harness. I'm assuming it was sunk in salt water in which case the wiring will be a constant source of gremlins popping up over time. Being a smaller GW with fewer systems you may be able to pull the old harness and make a new one. Good luck!
