    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    It seams that my valves have 4 positions. From what I was told, the current (6:00) position feeds automagically from both tanks. I would assume that the 12:00 position would be the shutoff. I'm not sure which tank feeds the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. I can just as well keep filling the main 100...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    So I still haven't figured out the issue yet. I've just been filling up the main tank. I have been hesitant to change the fuel valves in order to feed from the aux tank (which is full of fuel). My issue is that I don't know what position to change the valve so that it will pick up from the Aux...

    87 Gulfstream 232 Bow rail size

    Anyone know the rail diameter of this boat? I assume that it may be consistent across models and years but not sure. I was thinking it was about 1 inch but i'm a few hours from the boat and I need to grab some rail mounted rod holders for the bow area. The ones that I want either support...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    I do have BoatUS but I will take your advice, I'm too knew to the boat to be figuring it out on the water.. Each time I put gas in I put some in both tanks and the last time, the Aux tank seemed to be topped off so I know it is full and the gauge reflects that. The valves have a bit of...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    @wspitler, there are 3 hoses to each valve. From what I understand, eavh valve has 1 hose for each tank and 1hose to the motor. The center position that it is in is either for the main tank or for both tanks. I'm really trying to understand how many positions the valves have and if it's...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    The gas gauge works that's how I know it's only pulling from the main. I've only put gas in it 2 times. The Main is now at 1/8 a tank and the Aux is still full. I want to see if it will start using the Aux when the Main is empty but I dont want to chance it on the water. I may just take a 5gal...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    Yes, I do have twin motors. I just questioned how these valves work. Do they have 3 positions Main, Aux and both or Main, Aux and Off? I just found it hard to believe that each motor can pull from both tanks at the same time or automagically. I do know that it's been pulling from the main tank...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    I have an older GW gulfstream with a main and aux fuel tank. When I acquired the boat I was told that the tanks were working "together" and I didn't have to switch to either tank. I've been out on it enough to refill a couple times and it seems as if one tank stays full (the forward gas port...
