Thanks for the pics, It is a long way from Vancouver Island so do not think I will ever have the privilege of the tour, but I am sure I would find it interesting to see them in different stages of build and talk with the staff.

GW I will try and get a photo of the part to you. Just have to pull my seat off and try for a pic. Will send you a PM.

Yes, I replaced mine through an order from Jacobsens Marine in Washington. Just send them a pic of the broken one and I think any Grady dealer can get them. Do not know who manufactures them.

Not sure how much work I can do on my F200 if it stalled out on the brine. Yes I do all my own mods but apart from checking wiring..electrical shorts breaks etc. fuel issues, mechanically I do not think I could do much. They are a fairly complicated engine, (from my humble perspective)...

Thanks, Will check the fill and vent hose. Seasick, the line from the primer bulb runs from under the starboard lidded hatch into the splash well and from there to the F 200. I have all this rigging enclosed with rigging hose. Very little exposure anywhere on the run to UV. The rest of the...

There has been some discussion on fuel line replacement after so many years in use (age of yacht) with breakdown of the interior of the fuel line. My 2006 208 has now had 17 fun filled years on the planet so....I cut a section at the end of the line where it arrives and leaves the primary...

Morning Flot, Can't help with rod placement, just questioning the amount of fishing rods you have onboard. Is that for fishing different species or because you have a lot of pals who fish with you? I am feeling a little left out with only six, 2 spin casting, 2 salmon rods with 4/1 level wind...

I had a spot light on a previous boat and only used it on overnight boat camping trips. Getting up in the night to check the proximity to the beach and just having a look around at any other yachts anchored nearby for any anchor dragging. Tried not to shine it directly into sleeping quarters as...

Mine came with a roller before I installed the pulpit which I moved onto the pulpit on install. I believe it is easier to install a bow roller and haul up the anchor and rode dropping it into the locker as you retrieve then lift the anchor off the roller (under the railing ) and drop it down...

I purchased one without the loop.Pull the rode and chain up through (over) the roller them lift it into the anchor locker. I use a Fortress anchor which is fairly light (mostly anchoring in shallow waters) which enables me to hoist it up and over the bow pulpit and into the actor locker with out...

https://ca.binnacle.com/Docking-and-Mooring-Anchor-Rollers/c33_269/index.html Just have to pick one. It certainly makes it easier retrieving than pulling it straight up and possible whacking the bow and or taking you for a swim.

For any rounding or smoothing of starboard edges, a quick pass with a router does a beauty job.

Evan. welcome to the most helpful band of brothers you will find on any forum. Many very knowledgable and willing to share.

Personally, I think in all things one should show respect for another opinion, as that is just what it is. Agreeable or not, the point is that some one took time to share from their experience, limited or not, in an attempt to help another. This is what this forum is all about and should not to...

I have a T8 yam for a kicker on my 208, mounted on port side opposite the swim - ladder platform. Both batteries had to be installed on the starboard stern to compensate for the weight. Works great for trolling for our Pacific salmon.Trolling at idle or slightly above (tide dependent) you...

Not a big donation USD vs. CD but so appreciative of all the help and camaraderie over the years. A BIG thanks Jeff!!

My use for the AP is varied. Great for trolling and 2-3 mph, having to leave the helm to bring in the monster keeps boat on tack (track). I do not stop the boat to reel in just slow it down. We often tour Desolation Sound both my wife and I sitting on the bow (much cooler on hot days) in...

I purchased and installed the Furuno Navpilot 300. great unit with remote control. Not difficult to install, comes with explicit instructions. One of the best mods of many I have done to my 208.

I do not winterize my 208 it is kept in a warm boat barn at home and do mange to get out occasionally throughout the winter months. Pick my days and usually it is more about just being out there... hunting humpbacks, and maybe an Orca, a great time for prawning. It can be beautiful time with...

Alligator, how about some pics showing the old and renewed? Have a RIB that the seats could use a tune up. Thanks
