    My flow meters locked up. The pinweel part of the rotometer in the fuel line locked up on both of my fuel meters, I contacted the service center for Northstar and they set replacements without questions. The replacements are working good.

    I ran the boat today and traveled almost 80 miles and boated my first NC stripper. The Northstar siad I used a total of 62 gallons, and I filled up with 58. Not to bad. That is aboout 6% but it is conservitive. I will run again before I calibrate.

    Tip needed for non-skid mat

    I put a large door mat I got at Sam's in my skiff so my Lab's won't slip, that that may work. I going to try that in my Gulfstream next time I go out, if it works I will cut one to fit my cooler. I put a cooler in the back as well.

    I found this web site and could not believe the all the info on Grady's and how helpful everyone is, so I had to join in. I just purchased a '89 23s Gulfstream with twin '01 OX66 150's with dozens of little issues that I am planning on fixing. I am looking forward to learning all I can...
