I bought a cover for my 208 from Boat Covers Direct...was Sunbrella and fit perfectly. At the time, it ran about $600 or so, if I recall. It also tore, and I sent it back. They repaired it and returned it to me within a week under warranty. I'd recommend them again...

OEM Grady Tanks were originally made by either Florida Marine Tanks or RDS. From past experience, RDS has the plans on file and can make a replacement tank for you in about a week. I had them build me one for my 19' Tournament some years back and it came to my door via UPS and fit like a...

The armrests come right off.....turn the seats over and remove the screws. My 208 had the deluxe Pompanette seats....which weren't even an option. Talk about being tight between the seats. I almost had no choice...my 6'3" frame was NOT getting between them.

The Sea-V2 change didn't occur until 1993 for the 208.

These boats hold their value. The price will also be affected by where the boat is...FL boats will typically be the least expensive. NE and West Coast boats will be more. I've been watching 225s pretty closely...if its in the condition you say, I would say high 20s. You can buy a top of...

It's working exactly as it's supposed to. Once the recepient receives it and opens it, it will transfer from the outbox to the sent box.

I owned that setup ...only difference was mine was a 1999. It did not have a hard top. Cruise was 32-33....top end was about 42. I was turning a 17" SWS II prop.

I always run the engine and warm it up. Then change out the filter. Once the new filter is on, I start the engine again and let it run for a couple minutes. The fuel pump will fill the new filter up.

I used to order from Crocker's before they shut down. Now, everything comes from Taylor Marine Center. I usually deal with the Milford location, but I've noticed a couple things have actually shipped from Ocean City, so they obviously stay in touch with each other. Good people and everything...

Contact Great Lakes Boat Tops (they are on the internet)...they made a lot of the factory canvas for GW and will sell directly to you.

Once you find the sender, turn the key on and have a helper watch the gauge as you move the arm on the sender. If the trim bars on the gauge fluctuate as you move the sender arm, then the sender is working properly.

Call or email customer service at GW and they will tell you the exact length of the hoses that you will need. As far as the kit, you can use either the Sea-Star or the Bay-Star. The Bay-Star kit is rated for up to 150 hp motors and is about half the cost of the Sea-Star.

Try 180 degrees...the torsion arms are probably "up" and need to be "down".

There is a sensor under the starboard motor bracket...which pushes against a tab that is screwed to the tilt tube. The tab used to be plastic but Yamaha re-engineered it some years back and now its stainless. If you only need the tab, it's less than $20. If you need the entire sender, its...

I've got both an xp machine and a win 7 laptop...it worked for 2 days and now has quit again. Frustrating.....

Have you looked at the new Std Horizon cp590? I'm real impressed with it (I played with the 390 and am leaning hard toward upgrading my Garmin 492 with one.) Another option would be the Simrad NSE I'm guessing the Garmin 740 didn't have a big enough screen?

I would bet its the motor mounted trim switch. Water splashes up inside the housing and shorts everything out. I had the same problem with mine - except it kept trimming itself down. You can unplug the switch and live without it til you find a new one. The throttle switch will continue to...

Well, it was fun while it lasted.... Mine quit working again... :huh

Ringfree and Star Tron. The cheapest place I have found to buy Star Tron is Home Depot. $6.99 a bottle which treats 128 gallons.

Well I'll be........ :wow And it looks like its updating the forums in between readings, as well....so I know when there are new posts....
