    Gulfstream

    I think the 232 has the CV2 hull design and may even have a wider beam.

    Trailer brake kits

    I spent the money and switched over to Disc Brakes. easier to flush out and stop much better. I did need to change the master cyl to increase the tonge pressure. I went with Kodiak Cadmium.

    Spring cleaning the Strataglass!!

    I used denatured alcohol on a lint- free cloth, wiped it dry with a clean cloth and then used the stuff that the folks at A&J gave me to polish the clear.

    Recommendations for a VHF radio

    Sometimes radios that sit for years have resistors that fail just setting in a box. I agree with the above post. Buy a new radio as your life depends on it working properly. I have a Digital brand antenna on my hardtop and can talk as far as 18 miles on the Chesapeake Bay, boat-to-boat. Be sure...

    What to do about stale fuel

    Advertise on Craigslist that you have stale fuel available for free. People that have big heaters called Trash Burners use it to mix with oil and othe fossil fuels to burn it to heat large buildings. I got rid od 135 Gal of old fuel that way. A local fuel polishing Co wanted $2.75/ Gal to...

    Bennett Trim Tab Help

    I think TabMan must have a constant search engine running that looks for ANY reference to Bennett. This guy is the BEST I have ever seen for ongoing support. I have seen his posts on just about every boating/fishing forum I've ever been on. TOM.... Thanks for all the support you and your company...

    Could be fuel overload, cracked stator or one of many things. Have you changed our in-line fuel filters recently and/or checked your fuel for water??

    96 232 Auxillary Tank Sender

    You can get the screws directly from WEMA. Surprised they did not ask. Clean ALL electrical connections prior to install and used liquid electric tape where possible to prevent future corrosion.

    Yamaha Gas Gauge

    Chances are that the hole in the aluminum tank is stripped and not the screw. Try to get a knife blade or very thin screwdriver blade under the head of the screw. While backing out the screw, apply upward force on the underside of the screw head. It may catch enough metal in the tank to began...

    Gulfsteam 232 Wipers, water hookup

    I have a '97 with wipers and have never seen a valve or tried the fresh water pump at the same time the wipers are on. I need to look in to this as there have been numerous times I would have loved to have clean water on the windshield.

    Thru hull fittings.

    Does it really matter. The old nylon units should be replaced PERIOD. In all honesty, I think Grady went back to SS around 2001 or 2002.

    Fuel Sending Unit for 2000 192 Tournament

    Yes --- EXACTLY what is said above. Make sure the tank is below 1/2 full. A full tank will cause gasoline to run out when you remove the old sender. Be sure to install the rubber "O" rings on the screws and don't over-tighten. I installed the WEMA units in both tanks and haven't had a problem since.

    2013 257- Nav lights go out after a few minutes

    With most electrical problems are solved by working backwards from the grounding point. If these are the old-style double ended bullet shaped lights, use a pencil or a small diameter pointed object and some 320 sandpaper to clean the contacts. Place the sandpaper over the end and us it to clean...

    Trailer Brake Maintence

    I like many have had my share of brake issues. I now keep a 2Gal garden sprayer on the trailer with a Salt-Away mix. Spray the brakes down each time it comes out of the salt water. Its helped considerably but NOTHING is going to stop rust. I've also spoken to Kodiak and they tell me that NO...

    Busted for riding on the bow

    Seasick --- Not to bust your balls, but how do you know if the infraction that occurred in Washington D.C. is state law in Maryland?? You live in New York according to your profile. I plan to check with MD DNR for sure and I'll get back to ya.
