If you relocate batteries, you will most likely need larger sized conductors and you will have to relocate the battery switch or switches as well as any direct connect equipment like auto bilge pumps. All that aside, adding 100 pounds on the transom is not going to be compensated by moving 2 -...

The Atlantic Tower products I have seen are semi custom kits that have hinged mountings that you adjust to fit the deck and then tighten the hinges. Personally, I don't like the look and have read a few complaints about stability. I have also read good reviews too. That said they are a lot less...

For that AP, I don't think you need GPS data, so no need to see the sky. The main concern is finding a location that is free of stray magnetic fields. Common sources of that are motors, electronics, speakers, and heavy current conductors. Note that in the cabin, you have to keep potentially...

off of centerline, bunks are at 16 1/2 inches and 28 1/2 inches, so spacings can be 33 inches and/or 57 inches. For 33 inch spacing the hull will be 5 3/4 inches above the keel line and for the wider spacing, the hull will be just about 100 inches above the bottom of the keel The center of load...

How hard could it be? Find space, route plumbing, run ducts, mount unit and connect to power :) Seriously though, it can be a daunting job.

Dropping is a risk I am not willing to take. Many things can happen during the off season. Simple things like squirrels or other animals devouring your cabin, damage due to ice (in cold climates). Damage from other folks like someone losing control of their vehicle and slamming into your boat...

First one is too small for many typical battery cables and can't be used in tight spots. The second you mentioned looks identical to the Harbor Freight model which is currently hard to find and costs 70 bucks but there are usually discount coupons.

On my small bait I have audio commanded trimming. It's kind of like Siri without Siri. When the boat lists when fishing with my buddies, I say "Harry, move to the other side" Works well. (Harry is not his real name). In the case of two fishing buddings, the system only works when one person has...

Gosh, you made that clearer in a lot fewer words than I did.

What year hull? In general there is very little room at the helm under the dash You may have room in the starboard cabin locker (under the berth cushion). That is where Grady was installing trim tab pumps. I don't know if they still do. I don't see many 208s with auto pilots. No actually, I...

Does the new trim have the peel and stick tape already applied?

You are not to agree so easily:)

Yes.

Some of the older manuals had wiring diagrams. In addition, the color codes are pretty much standard for many systems. What you don't get are harness diagrams and layouts. For example, I know there are windlass power cables but how are they routed through the cabin? One other thing I have...

In theory, yes but it doesn't find the optimal setting. It can follow two (I think) presets that you saved. When in auto it tries to maintain similar hull angles. So if the sea conditions are different from those when you saved the settings, it will use the original settings which may or may...

I use a hydraulic crimper from Harbor Freight that I got several years ago for about $50. I don't use it often but when it's needed, it does the job. If a remember correctly it has 5 sets of dies.

I have already watched that video:) My question had to with his original issue which was rolling at slow speeds. Tabs, auto or manual aren't going to help.

OK. That's good. You may want to look at a poly tank. They come in various capacities and I would pick one that fits the opening as best as possible. A poly tank is probably going to be less expensive than a custom aluminum. In addition, they last almost forever. Note if you decide on a custom...

Interesting theory but it doesn't explain why some twin setups have the issue on one motor but not the other. Nor does it explain why some model years seem to be more prone to the issue that others and the peak years for problems were several years into the 4 stroke production.

Since the tank area was reworked, you really need to open up the deck and see what space you have to work with. Who knows what supports were added and/or removed.
