    Sounder Fish Finder

    You would need a GSD 20 or 21 box for the 2006 to become a sounder. Sometimes you can find them on eBay relatively cheap. For the price of a new one, you are well on your way to a sounder. It all depends on your budget...you can get a decent sounder for $200 (Garmin FF160). If your budget...

    Somers Point Marina in South NJ

    It is somewhat interesting that Hobby Lobby now has a blurb on their website stating "we will now install electronics on boats we did not sell..." I went by Hobby Lobby once while I was up there on business....asked them to order and drop ship me a part. They had no interest in doing it...

    Unknown plug on panel

    Sounds like the plug on my dash. Mine has a pair of 10guage leads that go directly to a 20A fuse. The handheld spotlight plugs into it.

    smell of gas

    Original tanks were made by RDS and they are still in business. You can reach them at 850-584-6898. Good news is they sell directly to the public, can manufacture the exact replacement, and UPS will deliver it to your door. At 15 years, your tanks may very well be corroded. This is not...

    Busted Lower Unit F250

    Shop around....SEI makes a perfect match and they are substantially less.

    Update on my F250... it is seized!!!

    If they are an authorized Yamaha dealer they should be fine. Removing and reinstalling a motor is not particularly complicated. Water getting inside sounds like head gaskets to me...I would expect Yamaha will warranty it. Question is how long will it take them to put it back together...

    not too bad for a three year old boat

    For some reason, Cypress Cove always seems to have leftovers. They had a great deal on a 228 back in '08...right now they have a leftover '08 258 with an F350 and they are asking $75K. Beautiful boat....best of luck with her....

    Snap in Console cover for 208 Adventure

    Great Lakes Boat Tops does all of GW's canvas work. I'd reach out to them...they may be a little cheaper than your dealer.

    Yamaha OX66 150 maximum RPM - HELP!

    If you are now seeing 5200, you are in good shape. The one thing that might be worth doing is looking for a SS prop. You will get better holeshot, may see an increase in your cruising speed, and another 100 or 200 rpm will put you closer to 5500. Keep an eye on eBay....they pop up from...

    canvas enclosure

    GW subcontracts all their canvas work to Great Lakes Boat Tops and they will sell directly to the public. You may want to check their website.

    Yamaha OX66 150 maximum RPM - HELP!

    WOT of 4700 is too low. Should be closer to 5500. What prop was on the boat? GW shipped this setup with a 13.25 x 17 SS prop, if I recall.

    226 Prop Walk and Listing

    Is the motor trimmed all the way down? Have you tried adjusting the trim? If you trim the motor up and the problem does not go away, then you may have a hook in the hull. I know you said the boat was a leftover and I'm curious as to how its been stored? If it sat on a rack or dolly and...

    Boy do I feel dumb

    Its happened to me too....I started at the trailer 7 way plug though. Found out almost immediately with my tester that there was no power. From there it was simply a matter of figuring out which fuse it was. As you correctly indicated, it was under the hood and not under the dash. I find...

    Gas station fuel and additives?

    I like PRI-G too, but its getting tough to find. Boaters World and West both stocked it....obviously BW stores are gone, and West no longer carries it. I may try the Phase4 CRC treatement this time around. West carries it.
