99 times out of 100 you have to slit the hoses to get them off. If you are replacing tanks, you should replace hoses too.

Why do you remove the flaps during storage?

You would benefit by getting a moisture test but for now try tapping the transom in various spots using a soft faced hammer and listen for a solid thud (good sound ) or a hollow sound (not a good thing). If that screw hole has been dripping for a week, you have a wet transom, You can deal with...

I don't know how you did the initial adjustment of the new cables but in general, you need to adjust the clevis pins on both motors. You probably only have to change one adjustment but which motor:) The proper process is to disconnect the throttle cables on both motors, make sure that the...

Most wiring is pre installed during construction before the deck is attached to the hull. . Usually if not always, there are no hidden connectors in the below deck areas that you can't get to but there will be ones that connect things like switch/breaker panels to the main harness etc. If you...

So much for the condensation conspiracy theory:)

y corrosion do you mean rust on the bases? If you get rust frequently on the plugs, you may have a water leak under the cowling, I have seen that on some motors. It can be a very small leak or even possible a disconnected pitot tube hose. If there is enough salty mist, you may see more green on...

I don't know for sure but the first place I would look is the battery compartment. The CO detector is probably direct connected to a battery. If so there will be a fuse or breaker close to the battery (or possible close to a battery switch)

My experience over the years with NKG plugs is that they were gapped in spec for my SX150 right out of the box. I do randomly check the gap on used plugs and occasionally, I will re gap. Note that when you check gap, you should use a wire feeler gauge not the flat metal blade type. For new plugs...

So are you saying that before it wasn't running on all six?

I would expect the motor to display signs of fuel starvation such as surging or stuttering as opposed to the instant shutdown.

My 201 has a carpeted storage locker with a smoked plastic door on the starboard side and a two drawer slide out arrangement with the same smoked plastic door on the port side. Hull is a 2001

It doesn't look that bad to me either. For now, I would just reinstall the lid and caulk the seams as well as coat the screw holes with silicone caulk. The bilge area on the 208 is typically quite dry. I suspect moisture is coming in from the top side.

In addition to the bilge pump direct feed, you may find breakers or inline fuses for things like CO detector (if 12v DC powered), stereo pre-sets memory , battery charger, etc. The fuses or breakers are near the battery per ABYC . Should a circuit short out somewhere, you want a fuse to pop near...

Since there is picture, I can't tell if that is the part. When you get the parts, could you post a photo of the slides. Thanks

can you post the part numbers. I couldn't find what I thought you needed on the website. Todd is a manufacturer of seats and as far as I know, not a part name but I guess it could be.

That works out to about 50 to 55 gals per motor and 1 gal oil per motor or a ratio of about 50-55 to 1. For a lot of low speed trolling, I would expect that ratio would be closer to 100 to 1. It's not an exact science since I don't know the percentage of cruising speed versus trolling. It does...

I am curious about your offshore trips. When you used up 2 gallons of oil, how much gas did you burn? Also, is this boat a single motor? Thanks

Makes sense but I would have done the same thing, look for a replacement cap. You would think that would be simple.

Interprotect 2000E barrier coat is a 4 0r 5 coat process and will take two days with the recommended drying times to recoat. Pettit HDR(?) is a two coat process. The times to recoat AND time to bottom paint is also critical. If you wait too long, you will have to lightly sand the barrier coat.
