I have a gulfstream with a hardtop and only use my canvas sides and eisenglass in the fall. Needless to say it`s almost impossible to install on the east coast when it`s cold out. So, I use a heat gun and gently warm the eisenglass as it is hanging from my hardtop with the zippers partially...

Wow, I could have written the same experience as you had. Last summer, My 1997 sure Bail (blue) float swich failed after 15 years. I, like you also felt that 15 years of service was justified to purchase another,although expensive. Well that one (white) lasted three months and failed in the...

In addition to the salt water registry in Delaware, you will either need a fishing license for yourself, or a fishing license for the boat which covers everyone fishing on the boat while in Delaware.

Does anyone have a source for the "L" shaped plastic piece on the helm seat tackle boxes. They act as stops to prevent the drawers from coming completly out when opened. I called Grady White but they were unable to help. Thanks, Glemboh

I bought the profish 1000 for my Gulfstream a few years ago and never looked back. The reason why I bought the 1000 instead of the 700 was to get the unit with the contactor and controls that would work with a wireless remote without buying the contol parts seperately. I also installed the hard...

Just prior to storing my boat for the winter the live well pump motor burnt up on my 97' gulfstream. Since spring is coming, I like to have all of my parts in place prior to getting the boat from storage. The pump is in the aft and is screwed on the thru hull and is a rule 500gph pump. Here are...

Actually, I didn`t do the fuel fills. After reading your note indicating the need to cut an access cover, I contacted Grady White customer service and they thought the fill line hoses should be good for 25 years, about the same time as the tanks. ( 12 yrs to go) They did make me aware of the...

Thanks to all especially Workdog. The info provided is everthing you need to know to do the job. Only thing I also noticed, is there is an access panel in the cabin that will help guide the fill hose for the auxillary tank. Again thanks, glemboh

My 1997 Gulfstream is due to have all of the 3/8" fuel feed lines replaced. While I`m in there I would like to replace the fuel fill hoses along with the vent lines. I have two tanks in this boat. My question is 1. Will the old hoses pull out easily ? 2. Are there clamps retaining the...

I also just unscrew the old filters oil up the new gaskets and spin the new filters on. Have never expeienced any shortge of fuel since there is still plenty in the engine fuel filter, it`s hoses, and fuel pump to keep the engine going till the new filter is primed. Is the reason for priming...

I agree with jimfish, the weights are comparable. I have twin 2005 135`s on my Gulfstream. Like the 225`s you are looking at, these are the latest style in the Honda line. I can`t believe how well they run and how quiet they are. My wife likes the fact that there is absolutely no smell from the...

My wife had the same response when I told her about the Desitin, since we had so much experience with it years ago. I guess we need to consult them before asking for help on this site ! The transom idea sounds interesting, however I have twin motors and a full transom swim platform. Again...

Thanks to all for your input. Based on Lenny and Bob`s input, Looks like bottom paint will not be an issue. I`m going to give it a shot this season.

I also used the MDR from West Marine this year and had poor results. When I start getting growth on the unit, I loose the signal that I assume is happening because it will now create water swirl and bubbles as you move through the water.

Lenny, I had spoken with Garmin about this in the past. They indicated there would be some degrading of the signal if the bottom of the transducer was painted with bottom paint. Their response had something to do with the copper in the paint screwing with the signal. However, they did not...

Does anyone have a magic potion for transducer paint ? I leave my boat in the water eight months out of the year and have been experiencing a build up of growth on the transducer that affects the operation. This started happening after they modified the paint ingredients. Appreciate all suggestions

Has anyone changed the deck drains and scuppers on a 97- 232 over to stainless. Alot of great info and vendor sites in this thread but I`m not sure of the hull thickness before I buy the scuppers. Also since the boat is wrapped and stored at the boat yard I`m unable to pull a deck drain to...
