Do you have a good galvanized trailer? The Karavan galvanized trailer I bought in Ohio corroded away in 2 years when I took it to VA. Galvanizing, like beauty, can be just skin deep. And, having a thin skin is never good. The boat will do just fine. If it was me, I would soap wash the...

I replaced the fill hoses on my 89 Gulfstream. Obviously you will have to pull the deck(s) above the tank(s) for access. The old hose is probably siliconed right where the hose goes through a stringer/bulkhead. There may even be a plastic zip tie or two on the opposite side of the...

I was also interested in the 265. Are you saying the 265 drifts beam to the wind? My Gulfstream drifts tail into the wind which is how I like it.

It's called a Spider Bushing. You can also get them in West Marine for about the same cost. Workdog

I've got an EZLoader trailer with my Gulfstream and have the same problem... if I'm not careful. I would bet your problem is your lateral loading in the boat is off and you don't have centerline rollers on your trailer. At the dock, I kick everyone out of the boat, stand on the centerline, and...

Bob, Engines are mounted on the transom.The center of the bullets on the leading edge of the lower units are 15/16" closer than the centers of the prop shafts on the back of the motors. Workdog

Ironically, I just aligned my engines this past Sunday by disconnecting the tiebar while running. I had heard the above technique for several years and thought, what the hell. I had set my engines at zero toe-in when I hung em a couple years ago, but wanted to see where they wanted to run at...

I also go with the power sprayer. I put the teak wash on and let it sit as recommended, then power wash it. I've never had problems with the grain raising. Sure beats the hell out of sanding a louver door. Workdog

Brad, Have you made it up to Erie this year yet? Walleyes are really starting to come on out of Geneva and Ashtabula. I found a site that posts fairly current NE Ohio reports if you want to see what's going on. http://ohfishing.com/stl-web/bulletin/p ... m.php?f=17 Workdog

Tim, First name is Jeff and my engines are 2003 models. The line should read: Workdog (Jeff) 1989 232 Gulfstream 2003 T Merc 150 EFI Cheers, Workdog "One More Time"

Bought my '89 Gulfstream about five years ago. I was stationed in VA and fished the Chesapeake Bay. Now that I'm retired from active duty AF and live in NE Ohio, I spend my time fishing for Walleyes and Steelhead on Lake Erie, mostly out of Geneva and Conneaut. Some of the folks on this board...
