    transducer mounting on a 96 gulfstream with single engine on a bracket.

    I just installed an Airmar 185HW under the bracket to the right of the garboard plug. Tested it over the weekend and had very solid performance, even maintained depth reading at 40kts although definitely some noise on the screen. At slower speeds had tremendous performance (under 10kts).

    Yamaha150 VS Suzuki 150 -- Both 4-stroke

    I repowered last year with Zuk 175's on a 1988 GW 232G. The weight is the same as the 150 but you do get the VVT which makes a significant difference with the hole shot. With 15*21 props I am getting top speed of 50 with cruise at around 3800RPM's. If you wanted less weight on the transom, the...

    New Suzukis on 1989 Sailfish?

    Just finished the initial 3 hour break in on the new DF175 Suzuki's. Ended up with 15 1/4*19 props and was able to get to 48mph at 6100RPM's. In some chop so I think there is a little more left in it. Looking forward to dialing in this set up. What a game changer.

    New Suzukis on 1989 Sailfish?

    Great to see the insight. I am in the midst of repowering my 232G Gulfstream (1988) with twin 175 Zuk's. Had water in the bracket as well which is being drained at the moment and will be re-sealed. Boat will be back in the water in the next two days. At that point if it seems to be sitting a...

    Navigation / Fuel Flow meter - help needed
