Apologies jmonie, did not mean to send you on a searching safari . Thanks Don for the understanding and explaining our twisted Canadian sense of humour on occasion.

Have the 208 (same bow) I got my pulpit from Auntie Grady (expensive) but came with the all the hardware to install and a section of bow rail as shown in your last pic. I pull anchor by hand using a Fortress anchor (very light) but works great for my shallow anchoring.

I must learn to "tread " more carefully!

Electric or gas?

Not quite the same area , but exchange the 6 inch slplashwell plates for 10 inch Armstrong making access to the bilge quite doable.

I mounted the Scotty base plate with 1/4 inch aluminium backing plates (matters not if it is uneven) then put bolts through the Scotty base plate trough the transom and backing plate and fastened with bolts. When fastened down there will be no movement and the swivel base can be attached as...

Thanks Hookup for that informative tutorial on connecting the two very different materials. It appears you could very well go into business.I am not in need....... yet, as I have not used it much in the last 14 years since owning the Grady, Mostly pick my winter days then we bundle up like the...

seasick, the info and knowledge you have shared with this forum over the years has been invaluable! I look to more of the same going forward. May you find the new yacht as enjoyable as your Grady.

I believe it is all doable yourself. Had not issues installing my Furuno autopilot and mfd's and helped a friend install the radar. Furuno has good install instructions with the Furuno Forum standing by to answer questions. $8000 labour quote? Yikes !!!

tkgrady, I am 78 and I am doing most things I did at your age of 64, however maybe a tad slower. The great thing about boating is one can continue enjoying the fishing prawning touring etc. that you have been doing, as physically it is not difficult once the launch and retrieval's been...

Fishermanbb, I guess it depends on the water clarity as to timing changing on the water pump. I have Yam a F200 with approx 800 hours that Has had the water pump changed once in that time. Says a lot for the pristine waters of our coast up here in the northwest.

Hookup, your not talking to me. Interested how the poly is connected to the sunbrella? Some kind of adhesive?

Hookup, Nice job! How did you attach the poly to the canvas (sunbrella)

I have been using Armstrong hatch plates, something to consider. no screw holes etc. clamps on tight with no leakage. I have replaced the 6inch ones in the splash well with 10 inch. Absolutely water tight and makes it easy access to bilge pumps etc. Just my 2 bits.

Installed the Furuno Nav Pilot 300 approx 3 years ago . Fairly easy DIY install with good instructions. Never an issue, works great!

The port bow light is probably a bulb as port and starboard are on the same switch. Take off the switch panel first and check the connections to the horn and live well. If good, follow up at their connections in place, (where they connect to the faulty units) The live well pump could be...

Just got word from my friend, he has crossed over and is looking at welded aluminium boats. So my quest for him is over with thanks. I do love my 2006 Grady 208 Adventure which is now reaching her 17 birthday with a 2012 Yam F 200. In beautiful condition and looking forward to chasing some...

Looking for a friend who is very much interested in buying a 208 after spending a little time on mine. Something in the 2002-2012 range budget wise. Must have a hard top and well looked after..... very much like mine may I say, and be in the Pacific Northwest. He had a couple lined up both...

Getemwet, have you sold your 208 yet? and what is your asking price. Looking for a friend, Thanks
