    Gulfstream Porta Potty

    My 2003 came with a Sanipottie. I replaced it with a West Marine which is made by Sanipottie. Everything identical, the hold down clamps lined right up with the floor brackets. Everything DennisG01 said is correct. When you separate the two halves to empty out the bottom, there is a handle in...

    Boat to trailer straps when trailering

    I had the same dilemma and struggled with a solution for quite some time. Because the angle was so sharp, I ran a heavy duty tie down over and across the gunwales. I still feel more comfortable doing it that way. Plus if I ran tie downs from the eyes on the stern, they would run across my trim...

    cleaning fresh water tank

    Had the same problem with my Gulfstream. There is filter at the freshwater pump end the would clog up with gunk. Cleaned the filter a couple of times and ran bleach through the system (about a cup) and filled the tank with the hose and pretty high pressure. It took about 2-3 times doing this...

    Probably Dumb question

    I do use it occasionally. Just fill it till it overflows. End of season run the sink and shower head till empty. I use to dump a gallon of RV antifreeze into at the end of the season, but you end up having to flush the anti freeze out which takes 2-3 fills. Now just make it's empty in Nov.

    Need Gulfstream Info

    Did you try calling Grady direct. I have a 2003 GS so not much help, sorry.

    What would be a good option here?

    You're right. It's hard to tell from the photo. Forget the speakers, or spotlight. What about relocating the horn. Mine is in that position now (Gulfstream). Don't know where your's is located. How big are the holes? Could you fill them with gel coat repair.

    NE Weather Has Not Been Cooperating

    I used Collinite cleaner on the areas that were dirty or streaked. I then used Collinite Fleetwax with a Shurhold random orbit. This was my first year using the Shurhold. Previously I used a Porter Cable RO but they only have two attachments. A sanding disc and a foam buffer. I had to put the...

    NE Weather Has Not Been Cooperating

    Thank goodness the weather guys (and gals) were wrong. The rain stayed south of me so I got half the hull waxed/polished. Looks GREAT. Still hope to finish Thurs.

    Buying an “underpowered” gulfstream

    I have a 2003 GS with a 225. You won't get 40 MPH for sure, but for me it suits me fine. The only time I feel it's under powered is with a full crew (10 bodies, Children and adults) although it will get up on plane. Just takes a bit to get there. Otherwise I'm usually inshore with a total of 4-5...

    Woohoo! Finally found the one I wanted!

    Very nice! What engine is it. You are aware of the corrosion issues with Yamaha 225"s? Can't tell from the pics if that's what you have.

    Boat name stckers?

    Port is not necessary. Use whatever you want if you want to put one on her. Technically it's supposed to be where the boat actually sits in the water (I think). Font?: Use whatever floats your boat.;) I put mine on the narrow band just above the transom. See photo. Personally I don't like...

    Rocket launcher

    Go big or go home! Always use the larger size if it will fit. In other words, if the existing mounting holes in the rocket launcher will take a 3/8" bolt, then use that.

    Pompanette helm seat arm rests covers

    Toothpick-they do make vinyl covers. Either Grady or Pompanette. They are definitely more expensive than the socks!! Mine were purchased by the previous owner so I don't know what the cost is.

    Gulstream Fuel Tank Questions

    Thanks for the responses. After looking at the sending units and their location I've decided against removing them. The tanks and hoses all look in very good condition. Very dry from what I could see. My only thought on the above comments about water or bad gas is, wouldn't that get stirred up...

    Hose stretcher needed,,,,,,,

    Just my 2 cents but why wouldn't you replace the hoses anyway if you went through the money and effort to replace the tank. Did you say the hoses are 15 years old? No brainer in my opinion. I posted earlier I'm planning on inspecting the main tank myself, just afraid of what I might find.

    Gulstream Fuel Tank Questions

    I'm planning on pulling the sending unit off the top of the main tank to check for sediment. It ran out of gas once as I pulled away from the dock. Was not able to restart. It's a 90+ gallon tank but it only took 75 when I filled it. Anything I should look for or be careful with? Thanks.
