Thanks Finatic. I have my fingers crossed and will check it out tonight!

I was draining my freshwater tank today on my gulfstream and the pump just stopped. Any idea what a replacement costs? Do these pumps have any type of reset switch? It was working fine and then just stopped.

Has anyone that had their trim piston seals replaced experienced a slick temporarily post-repair? Just had one of my seals done and still have a slick showing after raising/lowering the engine. Repair shop said that this sometimes happens if their is any residual fluid left over from the...

I had the same problem with one of the trim pistons on my 2002 Yamaha last season. I would get a small slick every time I put the engine up or down. Had the seal replaced last week for about $250 and the boat went in the water a couple of days ago. Put the engine down last night for the first...

I bought my Gulfstream in Duxbury a couple of years ago and brought it home to RI through the canal. I had radar installed prior to the trip and it was the best decision I ever made. We were in think fog with almost zero visibility almost the entire ride. The boat handled the trip very well...

A question for any Gulfstream owners out there. Can anyone tell me the clearance under the deck plate closest to the aft bench seat? I am considering putting in a flush mount table pedestal in my 2002 Gulfstream, but the mounting plate requires about 4 inches of clearance below the deck. I...

I was charging my battery this weekend and accidentally left the charger on overnight (probably about 14 hours of total charging). When I returned to remove the charger, the meter on the charger indicated that the battery was fully charged but there was a small puddle of water around the bottom...

What brand and weight oil do those of you living in colder climates use? Also, do you use Yamaha filters or another brand?

I sent Grady customer service an email asking if I could get replacement snaps direct from the factory and I am awaiting a response. If that doesn't work, I will probably go to a local canvass repair shop.

I need to replace a bunch of snaps o0n my seat cusions but am having trouble finding replacemetns that match the remaining originals. West Marine has a kit but they look kinda cheap. Should I take the cushions to a canvass repair shop? Any other thoughts?

With Earl approaching I am planning to remove the canvass on my Gulfstream for the first time. Are the panels difficult to get off and then back on?

I need to change the bulb in my starboard side running light. I removed the stainless cover but can't figure out how to get access to the bulb. Before I accidentally break the plastic housing, can someone let me know how to remove the cover underneath the stainless cap to get to the bulb?

I would appreciate any thoughts/suggestions regarding the following problem: When I turn my wipers on, only the portside wiper moves. I tried replacing the fuse which did not help, in fact after I replaced the fuse I couldn't shut the portside wiper off with the switch. The only way I could...

I think it's a Perko. Has the red / white light option on 1 side and the spreader light swith on the other. Hopefully it's just the fuse.

Any recommendations as to where I can order a switch for the cockpit spreader lights on my 2002 Gulfstream? The swith is located inside the dome light mounted to my hardtop.
