Problem is the switch is no longer made and from what I gather so I would need to cut the insert larger ☹️. Goal was to soder a new post if possible.

Continuing my electrical updates to my 2000 Grady White Gulfstream 232. Boat previously was located in Maryland (now on Lake Champlain – Vermont side) and have been replacing many corroded electrical connections. Current project is to get the horn functioning and believe the issue resides with a...

I have the setup described but use 15# balls to get deep in Lake Champlain which I believe is part of the problem On the high speed return. I ordered some 15” snubbers this morning and will see how they react. Thanks for the comments!

Mounted Cannon Magnum 10STX’s on Gulfstream 232 and love everything but one thing - the auto stop causes way too much bouncing on the rigger arm and ball when reaching the surface. Thought of adding an eighteen inch section of wire from the plastic line stop to the ball to retain the ball well...

Depending up the age of the cables/boat I would recommend replacing both sets as only one was done on my 232 prior to my purchase and they are now different when moving both throttles in gear due to stretching.

Got to thinking the other day are the lids some what similar/same over models? Cars have many similar parts and wondered about trying to be to specific on a boat year and model. I need two covers for live well and storage behind driver and curious of options. Apologies as not trying to take over...

Thanks. My ladder goes down along side of the port engine but this might work.

Curious if anyone has added a grab bar anywhere to assist in getting up on the swim platform. The twins take a lot of space and not much to grab trying to get out of the water after a swim. Kids seem to make it easily but us old folks struggle!

$3.69 looks cheap as on Lake Champlain I paid 4.22. NY side is generally another .10-.13 more.

No more oil alarms! One more thing off the list. Thanks everyone…

Strainer replaced tonight thanks to #2 son. Skinniest of my kids and works on F35’s! Good news is no sludge in tank. Strainer looked dark black inside. Cleaned tank but do think the pump should be replaced in near future (works but looked bad). Will do in Fall when I pull boat.. Got dark and...

I sent you a message with my email address. Hope it worked correctly.

I was very determined to find a 232 with a hardtop and twin 150's for fishing. Previous boat had traveled to Montreal and to NYC via the canals from Lake Champlain and was a great boat when the kids were young. As they grew up and had kids of their own my boys felt we needed a wider beam and...

New oil filters should be delivered today. Is there any concern of air getting in the line from the secondary tank going to the main on the engine? Plan on draining both tanks and cleaning per everyone's recommendations. Second process will be checking out float alarm on main tank. Fingers...

I found this to be very true (low inventory) when I was looking for my 232. Got to the point I was going to wait until the Fall thinking people were not sure what they had gotten into and didn't want to pay for winterization. Good news is I found one. Talking to a local dealer he has no "new"...

Is it normal the cap is zip tied? Both are on my engines. Wasn’t sure if possible pinching could come into play.

You guys are amazing. When I purchased the boat I was told the starboard throttle cable was replaced by dealer. Not sure why both were not done in pairs. Based on the above comments this sounds like maybe we are onto something. Note in the picture of the main oil tank the oil was above the line...

Decided to go for a quick ride before rain. Engine oil tank full going out. Five miles in the bay the dash oil light goes from full to half to blinking. Back to the dock and remove engine cover. The main tank is full. Turn on ignition and dash oil gauge blinking.

I should have read the whole string before doing anything. I first checked the tank under the rear seat. Not empty but low (filled a week ago with one full gallon thinking alarm was from secondary tank). Added a half gallon. No signs of leaking in the bilge (spotless as if new) nor anywhere I...

Sorry the engines are two stroke Yamaha 150’s. The reservoir is two tanks - one for each engine - under the rear seat of the 232. I was unable to remove the engine cover today as it was pouring out when back to the marina but will check in the morning.
