    New Throttle/Shifter for 92 Gulfstream 232

    Thanks very much. Question: I was looking at this unit from Doug Russell on eBay. (OMC BRP Johnson/Evinrude Dual Engine Binnacle Mount Control Assembly 5006184) and when I asked them if it would work with my rig, they said I need two "adapter kits" for $20 each. Do you know if the Seastar...

    New Throttle/Shifter for 92 Gulfstream 232

    Hey guys, since I'm replacing all the throttle/shifter cables on my rig, I am also going to get a new shifter. Boat has twin Johnson 150's with trim. Maybe dumb question, but I've never had to buy one of these before. Should I look for anything special? Any good/new technology or products I...

    232 Gulfstream questions

    Hey guys, a few questions. I have a 1992 232. This model has 3 (I think) access hatches on the lower part of the inside stern area to access the batteries, etc. I need to replace some of those latches. Can anyone tell me if these can be bought, or if I need to come up with another solution...

    Changing engines on a GW Gulfstream

    I agree. Twins all the way. I have 1992 Johnson 150's with closer to 1,500 hours each and they purr like a kitten. They are thirsty, but they fire right up and run strong. Still have over 100 psi compression in all 12 cylinders.

    Throttle Cables

    Hey guys, My marine tech just took my 1992 Gulfstream 232 with 92 Johnson 150 2 strokes on a sea trial so he could adjust the throttle cables. The starboard throttle lever is about an inch forward of the port to keep similar RPM on both engines. He was unsuccessful because he said once he...

    Radar

    Hey guys, None of my boats have ever had radar. I've always assumed radar is only useful for seeing things at night. I suspect I'm wrong. I now have a 92 Gulfstream 232. I am having a 4000 series Garmin GPSMAP chart-plotter as well as the g2 chip for better detail, fish-eye view, mariner...

    Update

    Well, as with everything surrounding "boating" we got a couple problems solved, only to find a couple others. 92 Gulfstream 232 with twin Johnson 150's. My last report mentioned losing the engines then switching fuel tanks and engines started again. Well, as it turns out, the guys using my...

    Engine Shut Down

    Thanks guys. I'm having a tech sea trial today to see what's up. Also the throttle cables needed alignment. I'll post the results. He (my tech) thinks the main tank is empty. John

    Gulfstream Live Well operation

    Hello all, My first Grady. My 92 Gulfstream 232 has a decent livewell behind the passenger seat. I'm used to seeing some sort of stand-pipe, but this doesn't have one. Do I need one? If so, what size? I've never used a livewell before so I'd be interested in some tips. Do I just turn it...

    Engine Shut Down

    That does make sense actually. It would explain why it ran fine on the fuel itself for 4 hours yesterday. Thanks, John

    Engine Shut Down

    Back-story: 1992 Gulfstream with twin 1992 Johnson 150's. About 1,400 hours on the motors. I got this boat right after Thanksgiving and have been having work done to it all this time. When I got the boat, the main fuel tank had about 1/2 tank of fuel. The age or origin of this fuel is...

    Raw Water Wash-down and Live Well

    Hello ladies and gents: A couple of buddies of mine borrowed my 1992 Gulfstream and they are fishing off Fort Lauderdale as I type this. On the dash is a switch that appears to control both the livewell and the washdown pump. They said that when the flip the switch to either the livewell or...

    Another Gil Bracket Question

    A local marina did it. I'm outside of Fort Lauderdale, place called Banyan Bay. Yes, I'm happy with it. I'm not happy that I had to spend almost $4K just so the bracket wouldn't rust out. I could have nearly re-powered the boat for that money. BOAT - Break Out Another Thousand.

    Another Gil Bracket Question

    Hello, Yes, I had the original refinished. Fortunately the aluminum was salvageable. It was VERY expensive to do. Brought it down to bare aluminum, etched the raw aluminum, painted with AwlGrip, then bottom paint under the water line. Had to remove the engines, replaced the engine bolts...
