What year was your 265? So far the thing is still together and hasn't separated. Maybe I can fix this with Marine-Tex and back-up the bottom side with a piece of stainless on each side or even all the way across.

You may be experiencing prop slippage at the prop hub. If the hub is starting to go then this may be the answer to your speed loss. Remove the prop and have it checked if you have any questions. An aluminum prop is not too expensive to have repaired.

Hi folks -- Hope everyone's season is going good so far. I have a 1997 Gulfstream with a Gill Bracket and a swim platform mounted on the bracket. Over the weekend I noticed that the nuts/screws that hold the swim ladder on are pulling up from the bottom thru the platform. I'm not sure but I...

There are several hotels around Hatteras village that have slips and very nice accommodations. Running the channel to the inlet can be tricky. The channel moves due to the storms and tidal activity so be sure to check with the locals. Even if it's rough in the ocean, you can day trip to Okracoke...

OK --- Towing on a regular basis --- YES - Ball requires grease or it suffers pre-mature failure. As for getting grease on your legs -- Use a tennis ball or similar and cut it so it fits over the ball. They even sell ball covers.

I tow my Gulfstream all over the place and live in MD. and have been to Delaware, Virginia and North Carolina. Things that WILL get you pulled over: Hot-Dogging lane changes TAIL-GAITTING -- For sure No safety chain on boat or from Tow vehicle to trailer. Lack of stern tie-down to keep boat...

Dennis -- No idea what pump came with the boat. The head is the 2nd type you mention as I stated early on. It is plumbed for either pump-out thru deck connection, which I have done before or over-board discharge via the "Y" valve.

Just for clarification, the "holding tank" is he small tank under the toilet itself. The unit is plumbed for deck pump-out or over-board discharge. I was trying to get the pump to discharge in to a large galvanized tub on the ground. I ended up using my shop Vac to clear the tank. These...

I have a '97 Gulfstream and when I replaced my livewell pump with a higher flow rating unit, I discovered that "someone" had installed a 3amp fuse instead of a 5amp. If this is a Rule brand pump, you may be able to just replace the cartridge/motor in the top of the unit. All it takes is a twist...

Hope everyone is ready for the season. I have a 1997 Gulfstream that has a "Y" valve option for overboard discharge of the head. I currently have the boat trailered and tried to get this to work. Using the owners manual, I set the "Y" valve to the "Down" position and opened the seacock, per...

I too have a '97 with twin 150's. Mine are the original Saltwater series II 2-stroke engines. As mentioned, they can be about 22% less efficient then the 4-strokes. They DO have a great hole shot as most 2-strokes do. Having twins is of course more expensive due to double maintenance. This "OK"...

Are you sure you don't mean a 2nd octave "C" ----- LOL.

A&J Canvas is located outside of Washington, N.C. in Vanceboro --- They are family owned and operated. If "You" have a problem with a piece of their work, I would contact THEM before you post negative reviews of the work. It just could be a defective part they received. I'm sure they don't make...

If you fill the reservoir after you reconnect everything, you should be able to bleed the systems with very little loss. Try to capture the used fluid. If it's clear and clean it can be re-used. This stuff isn't cheap. BTW-- You were smart to go the "safe" route removing the unit. I've been...

Looking for some info on replacing the plastic thru-hulls on my 1997 Gulfstream. Anyone on this board done them already? Do I need all straight or are some of them 90Degree? I know I need 8 of the 1" (inside Measurement) and 1 that is 1.5". Any tricks or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Contact A&J Canvas in Vanceboro, NC. phone 252-244-1509. They make all the canvas for Grady-White. I was there a couple of years ago and they still have almost all the patterns for Grady's going back 25+ years. Tell them Steve from Maryland MSSA sent you.

I would be very careful about trying to pry on the black plastic bezel. If you loosen the nut and back it off to where it is flush with the end of the shaft, you can use a hammer and tap on the nut/shaft while someone applies pulling pressure on the wheel itself. I replaced the outer shaft seal...

Try looking online at eastern trailer. I bought brakes for one axle using the stainless steel calipers and calumet coated rotors for about $250. The is NO warranty for any maker that covers corrosion--- Been there already. Now I use Salt-Away and spray my trailer brakes with it.I keep a 2.5 gal...
