    Fisherman 236 Drainage

    Hi Rocketguy88, Thanks for your reply, that makes perfect sense, thanks! I have one question: you mentioned that you "open the hatch directly in front of the motor between the two swim platforms". I have a 2018 GW Fisherman 236 and I don't have a hatch in that location. Are you referring to...

    Fisherman 236 Drainage

    ...what channels the water. I have the windlass on my 236 but it's built the same as without the windlass. However since getting my GPS trolling motor I have yet to clean the anchor compartment. Make sure to leave the anchor rode locker open while in storage to let air escape as you don't want...

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    What kind of trolling motor did you get? I have a 236 Fisherman with an 84" Rhodan, but will sell the Rhodan and buy the 90" Garmin Force Kraken as soon as it's available. I love my Rhodan, but the Force Kraken will allow me to interface/control it from my Garmin chartplotter.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    Thanks so much for the Boat Show prices! I pulled the trigger last Friday on the Freedom 235 and added an electronics package, trolling motor, Power pole etc and negotiated 10% off which now I feel is a fair deal. Without this kind of information, I would keep thinking maybe they took me to...

    Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

    https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/electric-trolling-motor-for-adventure-208.6284/ A good thread here if you read thru notably location of batteries (2) in the storage compartments under the v-berth cushions. Of course the motor requirements differ for the heavier 228 vs 208 but freeboard/deck...

    Sharrow Props

    This topic was brought up last year and I remember doing the math on it, but it wasn't exactly favorable in terms of numbers imo. For a Yamaha F250 at the time, their claim was to be able to get "up to 30% better" on fuel economy numbers than a standard prop. I did the math and figured it would...

    Windless on a 180 sportsman?

    This doesn’t answer your original question, but the answer to the underlying problem may be to install a “spot lock” trolling motor, rather than a windlass. Rhodan or Minnkota Terova seems to be the preferred choice. I don’t know anyone who is still dropping anchor when they have a choice...

    electric trolling motor for adventure 208

    ...The rail was cut using a thin cutting disc on a grinder. If one miscuts, 316 SS tubing in mill finish can be purchased at Graingers. It needs to be polished to match the existing rails. If I didn't have a full time job, perhaps I could assemble 208 trolling motor hardware kits for a small...

    electric trolling motor for adventure 208

    ...hinge but instead took out the 45degree coupling. I cut approx 1.5 inch off one side of bow rail and have all the clearance I need for trolling motor. I also have enough bow rail length to reattach the 45 degree coupling and bring bow rail back to stock. My battery is mounted all the way...

    Price Guidance on a 1995 208 w/ f150 and MK trolling motor

    ...on 150-200hp, cheaper Marina cost, fuel sipper - seaworthy enough for inshore on a nice day - the MK is a far superior solution to a trolling motor on the back for NJ fishing in the bays and inshore, unless you have a new boat with Yamaha EX. If you fish alone it’s nearly a must have for...

    Price Guidance on a 1995 208 w/ f150 and MK trolling motor

    I guess out here, the fishing is quite a bit different and even kicker motors are rarely seen up front on the bow. If someone does have a kicker motor then they'll typically get a bracket on the stern of the boat and get an outboard kicker motor. If they want, they can get an autopilot or...

    Price Guidance on a 1995 208 w/ f150 and MK trolling motor

    The selling season in NJ starts slowly now. Buyers want to close by March to get ready for the next season. This isn't a boat I would list with a broker so you have to try Facebook Marketplace (watch for scammers), BoatTrader, Yachtworld and a few of the other paper and online listings. You...

    Price Guidance on a 1995 208 w/ f150 and MK trolling motor

    ...I do not think my boat is worth $35k either, I do have two comments on your response. 1) bottom fishing is big around here and the trolling motor with spot lock is very desirable. I do not anticipate getting back 100% on it, but in my area, at least 20-30% of the boats in this class have...

    Price Guidance on a 1995 208 w/ f150 and MK trolling motor

    ...$15k or more without one. Even if you do have a 4 stroke motor on the boat. I can't really give any sort of opinion on the Minn-Kota trolling motor up front in terms of value as those aren't really a thing out here in the Seattle area for saltwater fishing. I guess if I was looking at a boat...

    Rhodan, Garmin or Minn Kota? What size Trolling Motor for my Trophy Pro?

    Planning to install a trolling motor upgrade on the Finest Kind this fall...will be used most of the time to spot-lock while jigging over shallow reefs and wrecks for Snapper and Grouper, and deep dropping for Blackbelly Rosefish, Snowy Grouper and Tilefish. Options are: The 87" Minn Kota...

    ...happy with this boat and is great for most of what I like to do. It is a 1995 208 Adventure with a F150 (800 hours), minn kota 36v trolling motor and 50AH lithium battery, transom is good, 2007, 7" fish finder/depth sounder and no trailer. It is in better than average condition for a 28 year...

    bow mount trolling motor on a 225 tournament DC

    That's an easy one. Minn Kota (and I'm sure others) make a couple different styles of quick-disconnect mounts. They work very well.
