    Sideshift bow thruster to a Grady

    I like that product. If I ever decide I need a thruster, the jet thruster thing is something I'd check out.

    Never Owned a Boat - Looking for Suggestions!

    I think you are on the right track. I had an Adventure for 15 years and loved it. Moved up to a Gulfstream. Might only be 3' longer, but 'bigger' to tow, bigger to maneuver in small places, and bigger to store on the trailer. I towed my Adventure by my Excursion, and even used my 1993 Jeep...

    Windlass Installation 232 Gulfstream

    I added a remote fob as well. It is so easy to cycle the windlass from the bow with it.

    Hardtop 1993 -1998 for Adventure 208

    I had Fishing Unlimited (624 Terminal Way, Costa Mesa, California 92627; (949)642-0882) fabricate and install a custom fiberglass/stainless hard top. It was on a 1993 Adventure. They do great work if you are in the Orange County/Newport Beach area.

    Cavitation Plate location relative to hull

    Thanks, I appreciate the info. I'll have to put a straight edge on the hull. The GW bracket pushes the outboard 24" from the transom. So should be about 2" higher. Is that based on the portion of the hull directly forward of where the outboard is?

    Cavitation Plate location relative to hull

    I was looking at the location of the cavitation plates on the (2) 200hp outboards on my Gulfstream. I am wondering where the cavitation plates should be relative to the hull. In other words, should the cavitation plates be above or below the hull when motors trimmed down. The outboards are...

    Yamaha shutdown while underway

    Thanks! The 20amp fuse labeled 'Main Switch' popped. Put spare in and motor and gauge is working again. I dont know what caused it to pop but at least the fuse fix was easy. Thanks again!

    Yamaha shutdown while underway

    Yesterday I was underway when the port motor just shutdown. I have a 2003 Gulfstream with two 2019 Yamaha F200's with 70 hours on. New start switches and gauges were installed when repower was done in 2019. Batteries were 12.8V on the 2 banks. I tried to restart the motor, noticed the port gauge...

    Bow access ladder from trailer?

    This is what I ended up with. It is attached to the trailer tongue. It works great; but is a bit pricey, especially do to the shipping. I contacted the manufacturer in Australia and decided to go for it. The only thing I would do differently would be the longer version (I have the 5ft and...

    Gulfstream 232 Swim Platform

    I have a 2004 Gulfstream and added a grab bar. The ladder is the narrow version, that is located on the back of the platform. I have twins and it is a bit tight in the platform in that area. I added a stainless steel grab bar, about 18" long (maybe 24") so standing on the ladder allows a...

    NOCO Battery Jump Starter?

    I am interested in a NOCO battery jump starter to keep in the boat in case I run the batteries down. It seems like it should work to start a 2019 Yamaha 200hp 4S but I have no experience using these type of starters. I am also interested in one for my Ford Excursion diesel, but that is a...

    Installing Swim Ladder - what type of caulking needed?

    I used 3M 4000 as the caulk. It is a little easier to remove than 5200. I thru-bolted and put the largest stainless steel fender washers I could find (I think 1/4" bolt with 1-1/4" OD fender washer). I found that the platform that the previously installed ladder was, had water intrusion. I...

    Calk at outboard bracket/hull interface

    What is the best calk to use at outboard bracket/hull interface? I plan to use a church key to 'scrape' the old off, install new, and touch up the ablative bottom paint. Thanks in advance.

    New head for 2003 Gulfstream

    Following too. I have a 2004 GW Gulfstream and considering how to put in a factory-type head into the place the porta potty is. It appears it could fit.

    Anchor Line

    Happy New Year! I currently have 1/2" 3-strand nylon as anchor line. It twists easily in my anchor locker to the point where it tangles as it comes into the windless (from locker to windless). I am wondering if going to 8-plait line would minimize this problem. Is there any 'con' to going to...
