    Dumb question but I have to ask

    I was looking at pictures of other 232 twin setups and was puzzled so went back to a picture of mine. Knowing my engines were off the boat for repairs prior to my purchase, questioning whether the engines were replaced properly due to turn direction of the props (see attached picture). Here is...

    Fuel Management & Speed/Trip Gauges

    As I continue to fix components on my 2000 Grady White Gulfstream 232, I am looking at my gauges. The fuel management gauge is impossible to read (like an ink pen leaked) and thinking of replacing the gauge. The speed gauge always shows 0 mph and not sure how the trip portion functions...

    I haven’t fished for bass in years. I fish with ultra light equipment with goals of 20+ lb Lake Trout. Funny thing is we have caught bass down deep that jump and fight like salmon. Will do my best to see what I can do!

    Update: For those that are not aware Vermont is a small state and nowhere to be found were fuel filters. Depression set in and was waiting whether I purchase online or wait for the marina mechanic which was two weeks out. Reread all the info regarding the boat prior to my purchase and remember...

    I replace all fuel lines. I removed separators when putting back together and checked for water which was basically non existent. I then fill up the separators with new gas and reinstalled as new as of last August.

    My next steps if correct. 1. Remove first fuel filter (see though), Empty fuel. Squeeze build to validate fuel coming to this point. 2. Believe there is a second filter after low pressure pump. Disengage fuel line after filter. Turn on key validate fuel travel. 3. Next one is the VST which...

    When starting and idling the other two aren’t used per the manual and my test.

    Oil injected. When I replaced fuel lines I checked for water in fuel, hardly any by visual in a jar. Added new fuel to separators and reinstalled. now for the engine area…

    Ok not an electrical issue as four of the six (normal) show power at the plug. Prior checked all fuses except for the 80 amp ones as afraid I would break them. I did not pull plugs but can in the morning if needed. Fuel bulb still hard and filter full.

    Yes both were on same tank and died within 15 - 20 minutes from each other on the lake. My son had moved only one of the fuel valves to the main while on the lake. He was not aware there were two valves. After removing the old brittle fuel lines (one had a small cut) I only had to pump the fuel...

    On my boat if the kill switch is not engaged and you turn the key I get nothing - no crank or anything else.

    I do as good when traveling and curious about other water areas. Was cool when at the outer banks in NC to see how shallow everything was. Probably one of the least expenditures each year.

    Z150XTRY 2 stroke. Been reviewing a manual myself but not anywhere need an expert. Is the fuse for just the ECM as the starter cranks? If kill switch was bad neither would start nor crank correct? I keep going back to where this started. Left the marina and 3/4 mile the port engine died (due...

    So 0-2. Av’s lost and doesn’t have appear to have spark at plugs. Tested on starboard engine and tester worked fine so not the tester. Hard to see the tester when not running in the sun but starboard engine clearing display spark. Battery is three years old and shows 13.1 on meter.

    Primer bulb is firm, fuel is at engine (no air remaining in filter). One lanyard runs both engines. Not sure how to test spark. Will research.

    Finally got back to the boat and replace all fuel lines. Let me tell you not an easy job for a big man. Pumped the fuel bulb on both and got fuel in the lines. Started starboard engine and ran like a top. Port engine starter kicks in but no luck in actually starting. Checked port battery and...

    Thanks for the ideas and comments. Will go through them one by one. Note I purchased new fuel lines as too many cracks (old). Unfortunately couldn’t replace tonight as rain all day but tomorrow is another day.
