You need to check the outer flange size besides the cut out, that is where I had the problem. If I raised it up to get past the cushion I was out of space. To not raise it, it would not open all the way due to the cushion. Hope it makes sense.

The Marine Connection is the one that is a 1/2 inch off...maybe it fits yours better. As far as the battery cable save some bucks and make your own. Buy the cable at HD or an auto/ electrical place and put marine fittings on it and solder the correct way. Good Luck

I have been looking for the same thing. There is not a replacement size that I found. Everything is a 1/2" over on the vertical measurement. The " plano" type boxes are an really odd size. To have something fabbed would cost me the same as SeaDeck coaming bolsters (350.00) I just bought and that...

You gotta admit the Etec looks sweet on the back of a GW

Actually, what is written on THT is not correct according to my dealer/owner/head mechanic we discussed this as I took possession of the best motor I have ever ran today. Also in my contract is all minor maintenance will be done on my lift as I do not own a trailer. It's all about the deal you...

Yeah I don't know either. I also was not ready to be one of the first to try the new Yamaha SHO and the weight of the older models did not make me comfy either. Mine is a 1990 with the notched transom, I did not want to be sitting squatty. I will also pick Diawa over Shimano any day.

You are lucky that you are handy, many are not and get soaked by dealers. I don't know what a 10 or 20 hr servicing cost, but there are plenty of folks here in Tampa complaining about $800.00 to $1000.00 for a 100 hr service. I put well over 700 hrs on my boat last year My engine is brand new...

Go with Etecs, with the oil set at xd100. What you will spend on the maint. of those 4 strokes, will buy alot of oil.

Racors all the way. There is a guy on ebay that sells them cheap if you buy in bulk.

I have a older Gulfstream and my wife is wanting a better seat for her and my son. Has anyone put a wider seat on the passenger side or done a wrap around type of thing? I know if a wrap is done it will have to be a flip-up so you can get into the cabin. Post pics if you have. Thanks in advance.

Simply Green is the best IMHO and it is biodegradable.

I have replaced all of my duratrim with starboard, mad the boat look alot better in my opinion.

My issues are mostly with the frames, some pits are so deep they are holes. The larger gaskets have shrunk over the years and are no good, I had to redo that with a 2-part urethane as I could not find the gaskets anywhere.

I have been nursing my windows as long as I could, both front and side window frames are about beyond repair. I know they are water bonnet brand. I have tried talking to their CS and it is not a big interest to the folks I have spoken to. 1990 Gulfstream.

Before I dropped the cash..I was referred to a guy that has an old Stamas 25' with a 250 Etec and that had more than enough power. Very quick to plane, and WOT of 42 on the GPS. So I dropped the cash on a 250. A thousand bucks buys alot of oil. If I wanted speed I would have done twin 200's

Thanks for the help ladies...

Long time no post. I like the new look here :goodjob . Anyway I have been threatening to repower since the engine blew in May on my 1990 232 Gulfstream. It has the drop transom. I have found a great deal on a 2011 models here in Tampa. There is exactly 900 bucks difference from a 250 to 300...

well the original owner did.. I've only had the boat a year. I was just weighing my options here. I got the boat for a song (8k), if I repower I will also swap out the old fuel tanks also. I was really wanting twins and close in the transom. While that was going on I might as well rewire the...

There is no way I am putting 8k in a 1990 motor that had probably 2300+ hrs she has seen her day. That is what I paid for the whole boat last year. I have no issue putting GOOD money into her just wanna figure out what I want my end product to be. The closed trans seems great but then again...
