There are adapter harnesses that allow connection to legacy devices like a standard tank sender, paddle wheel if equipped etc. At least there are for smartcraft harnesses. I suspect that there are similar options for your setup. You need to get a copy of the riggng manual. I assume you will use...

I think the cap has an o-ring. You will need to match up the cap at the store to get the right o-ring. The caps come in different diameters. I do not think there is a gasket in the deck fitting . There ar none on my two water fills.

Define "worth it" Worth it from a financial point of view or worth it from a personal " I feel better with newer motors" point of view. If the current setup meets your needs, is reliable, and gets you from point A to B, why repower? If your intend to sell after repowering and the repowers are...

It is probably a bad pump but check also to see if there is any in-line filter. If there is and it clogs, the pump will run but not pull water. If that pump is original, you are lucky to have gotten almost 20 years of service:)

How did you arrive at 6000 pound load for your 208?

The biggest factor other than the age of the paint is the water temperature. It has been warm just about everywhere and warm waters encourage hull growth.

I am not familiar wit that company, so I tried to look but the site is currently not reachable. It could have crashed or is busy or is not the correct URL. I used boatownerswarehouse.com

Duh

If the needle valve in the VST is not sealing, you will loose prime but before I assume that is the issue, do you loose prime when motor not running or when it is running. The later is a whole different story. If the primer bulb does not collapse but goes soft when running, you have an air leak...

You probably will not be able to reuse the existing holes when reinstalling since the chance of them lining up is just about zero. Therefore plan on sealing the old holes

You may need to buy/borrow a clip on ammeter type of current reading meter to see if you are drawing excessive current and go from there..

Thanks for the photo. I don't have them on my boat. In regard to making them or trying to fix the old ones, note that HDPE like Starboard does not glue well at all. Most assemblies you see made from HDPE use screws to hold pieces together. There are some adhesives that supposedly will work, but...

I have a 208 and have no idea what cup holders you are referring to:) In any case, there are products like this...

The grinding may have been the dog clutch not engaging completely. Did you try shifting into reverse? The clutch not engaging can be causes by several issues: Bad cable adjustment, broken or stretched shift cable, lower unit shift lever issue, or sometimes, the hold downs for the shift cable at...

Slips out of gear? Was the prop re-hubbed? Check prop for spun bushing or possible improper installation ( likecinstaaling rear thrust washer incorrectly or not at all) Check shift cable and it's adjustment

Does the water accumulate as a result of a run (in other words was the bilge or locker dry before the outing and wet afterwards)? On the other hand, if the locker is dry after a run but wet the next time you get ready to take a run, then water is probably related to rain. In your checking make...

Do you have a fuel management gauge or screen? You didn't state any fuel consumption numbers. If you are planning to motor to Bimini, you will have full tanks and that extra weight will reduce your efficiency. Just be prepared for that fact of life. What is the significance of the 4400 revs...

Are you referring to the bolsters? Post a picture, that will help.

The rule of thumb is a guess at best. It's usually a decent guess in many recreation applications but in reality, the more chain the better and all chain is best (but nor practical for smaller hulls). The length of the chain is not the critical factor but rather its weight is. You need enough...

You might be able to modify these to fit. https://www.westmarine.com/sea-dog-door-hinge-15993033.html?msclkid=af33f5206f9e17dd043091d1a8c7eac5&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BSC%3EBrand%3EGalley&utm_term=4577610509501632&utm_content=Galley
