Ya'll are having too much fun with this. Biden has just issued an executive order against this. Seriously though, I am having fun just hearing about it.

It's not uncommon for those switches to go bad. I had one with a 2000 OX66 200 engine that would not stop when the key was moved to the "off" position. After some research, I found out that the switches go bad and cause that to occur. The solution was to replace the switch which was very simple...

What engine does it have? Is the ignition switch OEM?

GF, Here is a picture of the GW248 that I used to have. It had 2 Garmin 741XS chartplotters installed. As you can see, there is room on either side so I would think the 2 9inch machines would fit. You can have Boatoutfitters cut a piece to size. They are fairly reasonable. Mine was done with 1/4...

I see that your boat has a Florida registration, that is why I asked about the location. I have friends that have boats in Orange Beach Al. and the boat population there got destroyed. My friend has a nearly new Cobia 280 dual console that was in a marina with 22 other boats on lifts. His was...

FLW, Did the hardtop get crushed by getting up into the roof of the boathouse? Where was the boat when it rode out Sally (City)?

Try Patriot Marine

I am repowering my boat now. The torque specs that I have seen are 40-55 ft. lbs. I am using Boat Life Life Seal. It is rated to be used below the water line.

Everyone will have their preference. I like the idea of two 7 inch machines so that if one has a problem you can operate temporarily on one.This is on my 226.

The color makes me think it looks like the flange from a battery selector switch.

FWIW I had Grady send me the dimensions for the 56 gallon aux tank for my 2000 226. I would think that would be the same as yours.

FWIW I talked to customer service and was told that the factory would have installed 20 ft cables.

Does anyone happen to know what length throttle and shift cables are used on a 2000 226? I am looking to repower with a Suzuki DF250 and I am trying to round up some of the rigging components. I am not at the boat to be able to try to figure it out. Thanks.

Dennis, To answer your question, I had to replace the vent window on the 248 that I had. It was broken but all hardware was still intact. I had a piece of tempered glass cut to replace the broken one. It was done through a local company but they had to have it done through their supplier. It...

FWIW, A friend of mine has a Cobia 280. When he first ran the boat, it would move quite a bit like you describe. It would dig in to wakes and feel like you were really being pushed side to side. That was with no engine trim and no tab input. It was somewhat disconcerting. If you trimmed the...

That looks like a better location. Nice job.

Do the switches look like these?

Those would possibly be McGill switches which are still available. It would be helpful to see the switch panel from the front showing the switch itself to help identify them.

I like the 2 sevens just fine . They give me enough size for my old eyes to be able to see. Also there is a benefit that if one machine goes down you can do everything you need to with the one machine. When I bought the boat it had one of the machines already there, so I bought another on ebay...

I replaced my upper and lower dash panels with 1/4" starboard. Put in 2 Garmin 7" machines. 2000 GW 226.
