I have a gulfstream and use the wipers on a regular basis, not just rain but spray when running. I would not remove them.

If you find the right 232 you will love it. I have a 2002 which I repowered last year with twin 200 Suzukis. My boat looks brand new as I have replaced almost everything through the years . Good luck in your search

Just repowered my 2000 gulfstream with twin 200 Suzuki's . I had twin honda 130s. Boat was reliable for 20 years but underpowered when 4 guys onboard. Feels like a rocketship out of the hole now. The 150s are the standard but the 200s are really nice.

I bought new graphics for my Honda silver outboards. Anyone have a suggestion on a good way to remove the old ones. They just don't peal off.

I have a 2002 Gulfstream with twin Honda 130s with 1000 hours. I have no problems with the engines but I would like to explore my repower options. I would like to move up to twin 150s or 175s, either Honda again or Suzuki. I know there are factors that come in to the price like upgraded gauges...

ocnslr, I never said "I'm not a Garmin guy." That was someone else responding to my post. I have had my unit for 8 years and it has worked flawlessly.

In not working I mean when I turn on the unit, GPS chartplotter is fine, no problem with navigation but I don't have any information on the screen for the fish finder. I have a thru hull transducer.

My solution is easy. No Smoking on my boat. Period.

This may be a really stupid question. I had my boat delivered for the summer this past weekend. Everything worked except my depth finder. I have a Garmin chartplotter/depth finder and the chartplotter works fine. Is it possible to have the depth finder fixed without pulling the boat?

If I may ask, what was the price?

Didn't ask for an estimate. Boat was hauled and winterized/ shrink wrapped. Service manager left me a message and said fuel line connector needed replacing, a $45 part. Didn't sound like a very big deal. I then received a bill in the mail for 6.5 hours to replace it and install the new decals. I...

Does anyone know how long it should take to replace the fuel line connector?

I am certainly going to have a conversation in person with them this week when I can get there.

If I had the time I would have done it myself. Would have been impossible while the boat was in the water. When they pulled the boat for the winter I had them do it. Just could not imagine it would take 6.5 hours of labor. I would think if I was really slow, a couple of hours would be...
