If the thru hulls are plastic, REPLACE them with Bronze or Stainless. Don't forget the hoses too.

Please help Th e reason my account which I have had for over 20 years wont let me in to update my email address. The one listed was from 10 or more years ago. Was there a refresh that I missed and the old info put out?? ADMIN----- PLEASE HELP

Try raising the prop thats in reverse up slightly, about 15 degrees. This will allow the propwash to go under the boat instead of hitting the stern.

WEMA has been bought out and renamed. In the past, they had a great relationship with the individual boater ---- NOT ANYMORE. I called this past week to try and order new sender gaskets. When the phone was answered, I was told this is no longer WEMA but another corporation entirely. The...

I have a'97 Gulfstream. Can anyone tell me if there is a travel adjustment for the wiper swing left-to-right. Its been a couple of years since I have put them to use. They function fine except the travel seems short.

Pressing both up and down switches on the "Old" setup blows the fuse. At least that what happened on my '97 Gulfstream. That would be one up and the other down. Has something to do with the pump wiring.

Are you hitting BOTH switches ate the same time?? If so, That's a big NO-NO. Contact Bennett and the can send you a wiring diagram . I learned the hard way that its one switch at a time Do you have the owners manual for your boat?

If you replace the sender(s), I recommend getting WEMA units. They are out of Florida and will need the actual length of existing guage or the true depth of the tank. I replaced mine over 15 years ago and the still work fine.

When things look to good to be true -- BE VERY CAREFUL!!

I agree with the 17 -19 deg prop. My 150s run a 17.

I have never heard anyone say 'I wish I had a smaller antenna" when the time came that their life depended on it. TALLER IS BETTER. My 8ft antenna is mounted on my hardtop which puts the tip of the antenna at approximately 18ft off the water. I have talked 22+ miles on the Chesapeake bay on a...

I have to agree that the snap retaining screws are done with self-tapping screws. Remove every one of them and have Grady make this right by refinishing the holes and installing the snaps correctly

Just a thought, but Mid-Shore electronics in Cambridge MD is one of the best around. Call them and ask what they would charge to test your unit. They will match any price you find online for electronics. These are the guys that install stuff in those multi-million dollar boats. 410-228-7335...
