Swapped the less for warm white and added led strips on the sides.

Next I’m trying my hand at filling some holes from a trolling motor installation. We’ll see how that goes.

I had the same issue - and poked at the silver nub on the side of the boat. It’s a miracle! Now the tank fills with no issues.
This sure is full of useful info you never knew you needed.

Thanks for the kudos! This color/pattern doesn’t seem to get hit at all, and we’ve had a few weeks in the 90’s.
If anyone is the the Pittsburgh area, the carpets were cut and welted by Shawn Yount at Marine Carpets and More in Butler, PA.

Replaced all my gauge lights last night. They were so dim or half of them burnt out that I did not know they were lit!

Typ with eBay buys, what you get isn’t what you expected. These were supposed to be ...

Thanks for your post! I was having the exact same problem with my 200 - now I now where to check first!

New carpets came in - just finished installing the snaps. Have to do the grommets, but at least they are down!

Thanks to everyone on this site - I've found a lot of great ideas and - of course - ways to part with some more $$!

Done so far:
Added Depth Sounder
Replaced Steering Wheel
Replaces utility bulbs with LED's

To do:
New snap-in carpet (mine are way shot and have shrunken a good bit)
Fill & Buff some ...

Thanks - it’s an eBay purchase. I think it was only $50 or$60 bucks.

I did pull on, but nothing came out - I mean, nothing happened.
Sony has no support for it except the installation guide. And or course the hole is an odd size and shape.

Pic of new wheel installed!
Just templates and ordered now snap in carpets.

My 1998 200 has the -I think - factory installed Sony wired remote. It pokes out like a stubby carrot, and of course isn’t connected to the radio, which isn’t original.

Anyone replace theirs? I’ll post a picture of it. Strangest looking thing.

Here are pics of the boat and the old wheel. New wheel to follow.2AEC5D11-E52F-478A-A632-154A6FA85F17.jpeg15B453C3-10A0-49E6-9C24-E3CD884FD4DE.jpeg232E68C1-3AE1-4E5D-9D69-23827C50C518.jpeg


Registered on 2003? Where in Wisconsin do you boat?


I’m in Pittsburgh - the boat can from Geneva ...

I purchased the same faria gauge and an in hull transducer. My 98 200 did not have the depth gauge.
I’m not too knowledgeable about electronics - where does the hot wire connect to? I could wire to a spare switch - cap call or accessory - or should I connect elsewhere?
