    Fuse box

    If you are talking about the clear tube next to the black tubes, it's the return line for the auto pilot. It is clear plastic tube as it is not pressurised. You can see if the system has air bubbles in it.

    bunk guides

    I've got the tall upright ones on my trailer, like KY has. My trailer came with them, they work well. Obviously Lee's would be even better because the boat can't move sideways at all. I have seen trailers with two tall uprights, one at the very rear like mine and one on front of the guards. I...

    battery sizes

    I would stick with the 27's if you can fit them in there, if not a Noco jump starter will get you out of trouble and they are very light. You need a 90 lb counter weight ( sand bag will do) because you still have the 45 lb battery on the starboard side . If you take the starboard battery off...

    Is this to low ?

    I only put that up to let you know that you can buy lithium batteries much cheaper now. I don't know about the quality of Chinese batteries. Lithium batteries shipped by air? I doubt that very much even if they did ship to CAN the price would be prohibitive I would think. The other problem if...

    Is this to low ?

    Not as expensive as you may think now: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333791428546?hash=item4db784ffc2:g:2akAAOSwS-FgBie5&frcectupt=true That's $369.00 in AU $$ so about $269.00 US. They are less than half the weight as well. I don't know if they are suitable for constant charging and I don't buy...

    Rear cup holders drain in the bilge but rod holders should drain in the cockpit and towards the scuppers .

    Is this to low ?

    I wouldn't know if 208 has the same space as the 228, I thought you had a 228G. I wouldn't fit a non sealed battery on my of my boats these days. Actually not even on any cars that I own. Not sure but I don't think you can fit them both lengthways bow to stern unless you use smaller batteries.

    Steering wheel cap removal

    You may find that the wheel is not loose on the tapered part of the shaft. The shaft that comes out of the Seastar helm has a nylon type of sleeve and that could be warn out and the movement is on that shaft.

    Is this to low ?

    I installed a bigger pump with more pressure for 2 reasons. The extra volume and pressure makes it easier to clean the blood and shoot it at the birds when they eat my pillies that are meant for BFT. No problem with the original worked well. The pump you see in the picture served me well, I...

    Is this to low ?

    My 2013 228G has both batteries and the raw water pump fitted on the port side from factory and I believe all boats fitted originally with 4 strokes are the same. I fitted a bigger raw water pump , it is tight bit everything fits fine. You do have to remove the outer most battery to get to the...

    2012 209 cc w/150 hp yamaha

    I would like at least a 200 hp with that boat. She will be just adequate with 150 as long as you have the right prop.

    Horn replacement location

    It's probably impossible to find a hardtop for any GW because everyone that has a hardtop wants it and the ones that have Bimini they want hardtop. The guy that bought mine wanted a hardtop but he settled for mine because she was in excellent condition and priced right at the time. You can...
