Hi Joey. I too have a Gulfstream (2003) and had the EXACT same problem as you. Welcome to the old & fat club! I always felt a handle that fit over the lever would work. I was thinking of making my own out of PVC and then I found this product...

Jonah, the boat is 2003 Gulfstream with a Yamaha 225. I read your thread-did you ever resolve the problem?

Thanks for your replies. I may wait till the end of the season. I like the suggestion of pulling the inspection covers from prince. I'm still baffled why it wouldn't start on the aux tank but did after sitting for a few minutes. To be continued...

I ran out of gas while idling at the dock. My main tank was very low which I knew. I was on the reserve which showed between 1/2 and 1/4. Tried to restart on either tank with no luck. The reserve would start but die out. Tried to give it gas in neutral, and it bogged down and died like it was...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I 'll take a closer look at it this weekend.

I noticed some fluid dripping down from behind the steering wheel. I also thought the pump(?) behind the steering wheel looked wet during Spring clean up. Anyone have any experience or suggestions repairing or replacing this unit? Boat is a 2003 Gulfstream. Thank you.

Agree with all above. Fiberglass outside with a wood core. Just make sure to use plenty of Life Calk. I installed a new antenna and made the mistake of using regular silicon and didn't fill the screw holes well enough which caused it to leak. Redid it this Spring with Life Calk, filled the...

Contact Mike at Taylor Marine or your local dealer first. I replaced the decals on my Gulfstream because it was the first thing I noticed when I boarded. Faded, streaking, edges chipped. Bugged the crap out of me! It's a 2 part decal, the base decal (I call it the Grady swoosh like Nike) and the...

Have you checked boats.net. Just checked my motor-2003 F225 and it was $460. Didn't check your motor. Also a pilot, had the starter rebuilt in our 66 Cherokee by a "very reputable shop" and it failed in the shop when the A&P tech went to start it. I don't think cleaning the teeth on the flywheel...

Have a friend who installed one on his Gulfstream, single OB, this past Fall. He has been boating for years, charter captain, and he couldn't wait to get one. It's on my bucket list for my Gulfstream. Northeast bow thruster did the work. Very professional and they charged him $1000 less than...

I was referring to the large rectangular covers. After reading Dennis's post I will leave the rectangular covers in place providing the sealant looks good. I plan on removing the round inspection covers, which I have done before to wash down the tanks, and inspect what I can see. May use an...

Thanks for the advice Dennis. You're right, I was assuming the gasket/ "o ring" seal (if there are any) around the hatch was the seal. I didn't think there would be a silicon sealant around the hatch as well (had these thoughts while anticipating removing the shrink wrap without actually seeing...

Looking for advice on removing the covers on the deck that cover the fuel tanks on my Gulfstream. I seem to remember reading here that Grady recommends doing it every 5-6 years and replacing the seals. I searched but was unable to find any info. Has anyone done it, are the seals still available...

Walked on to the Whaler display to look at the 38(?) with the trip 300's. The guy says "just what we need, the guy with a Grady hat!" He laughed, welcomed me aboard and said what do you think? I said Gorgeous-but only 2 available? He said it's a new model, they're not supposed to sell any...

Thanks Punch53. I haven't read that book, but there is a book called "Farewell to Some" that I have read that does mention his squadron. I'll keep an eye out for that one.

I really struggled with this. I had a few ideas but the general idea is I wanted to name her after my Dad in some way who died just before I bought her. He was a WWII pilot and I had an idea to name her after one of the aircraft he flew with a graphic of the typical nose art of that era. The...

Following the suggestions posted here I found new side cabin decals for my Gulfstream on E Bay from Taylor Marine but still needed the oval emblem. Contacted my local dealer and was told they're not available. They only have generic GW logos, not the 232 Gulfstream original I was looking for...

Yes great ride! Can't help you with your question. I have a single 225 on my Gulfstream which I flush each time. I have seen the newer models with a fitting right on the transom. Sweet. Pics please.
