Getting through the rigging tube is not too bad. Pick up a spool of clotheline at your local Big Lots or Hardware store. Tape it to the end of the plug for your old FF (use plenty so it stays fastened even when you pull on it. I prefer black electrical tape.) GENTLY pull the FF from where it...

I need a measurement of the e-box plexiglass door... Trying to get a custom starboard panel made to flush mount my electronics and - with the boat being in Ft Lauderdale and me being in Atlanta, I am hoping someone can measure the door. It's bigger on top then on the bottom (think trapezoid)...

Where was the steering leaking? In one of the hoses on the motor side? The seals may need to be replaced....it's not a particularly difficult job (I did them myself in a couple hours on a 226 I owned.).... Call Bennett regarding the tabs...their customer service is 2nd to none. I hope you...

The dealer here gets $20/gal for refills if you bring your own jug. That said, I've switched to Pennzoil Premium Plus and I get less smoke. Plus I can buy it all day long in Walmart for about the same price.

I had hoped that my trailer would be ready and I could come to Ft Lauderdale, pick up the new (to me) 225, and shoot across to GradyFest. Sadly, it won't be ready, and between the road trip I took two weeks ago to sea-trial, and the road trip I'm taking the week after next to bring it back...

I'd hunt for a set of 200 HPDIs if it were me.....

Clorox Cleanup will do wonders, but it will also eat through the threads on the cushions. Have you tried Spray Nine? That stuff can work miracles.

When I owned my 205, I mounted both the Sirius and GPS antennas on top of the dash. Worked perfectly. S3500024 by parthery, on Flickr

GW added some ballast forward to help offset the additional weight of the 4 stroke. It also helps keep the scuppers out of the water.

RDS does nice work...I've used them before. You should have no issues.

Anyone had any experience replacing cushions on a late 90s 223/225 Tournament? I'm looking at one now that is going to need some cushions. Not opposed to ordering them from out of town if someone has had good luck with an upholsteror or supplier that did good work.

I picked up the HDS when the GEN-1s were phased out and the rebate was in place. The rebate was extended til May 25, by the way. The kids are getting bigger...and they don't go anywhere without their friends. At some point we are going to need more space. And I've gone full circle....going...

Excellent choice - and Dirk and the crew at TMC are first class.

Re: Repair shop blew engine on sea trial after "fixing it" w The 200 HPDI is the one of the best outboards out there. Too bad they are being eliminated after this year. The 250 - and 300 HPDIS - I agree with your assessment wholeheartedly.

I finished the electronics upgrade last night....of course with a sale pending, the new owner will end up with a nice setup. Went from this (a Garmin 492 and 160FF): 2009-01-02 002 by parthery, on Flickr To this (an HDS-7): IMG-20120223-00006 by parthery, on Flickr Installation was not too...

No need for the motor to be running...the tabs are a completely independent system. If the spring action in the switch is gone, it sounds like the switch is bad. You can pop the plastic bezel off, remove the switch, and reverse the wires. If the other side works, the switch is bad. If you...
