To answer several questions, I was static flushing with my garden hose from my irrigation pump. As I said with my engine running everything was fine. I decided to attach a hose from my city fresh water. This time I had water from the telltale when static flushing. As one person said the...

This is my problem at my home dock. I do not know what my pressure is but I have plenty of flow. from a 5/8 hose. Trying to figure out if this is a problem and I am not properly flushing my engine.

My 2009 F250 does not pee when flushing. OK when running (just had water pump replaced). Problem noticed before water pump change when not peeing at all. Basically, has little to no peeing when on flush. I never noticed this before any comments. Planning to contect technician today, just...

Isn't this a Gulfstream?

My (bought new) 1998 232G runs fine on my F250. To me, twins are only a consideration for offshore and big crews. Yes, I would love a F300, but my fishing needs on the Chesapeake Bay do not require it. Maintenace cost on one engine is high enough so double it and realize you now have 2...

I have a 1998 (bought new) 232G F250 repowered. No known problems. Has been dry stacked or on a lift with a roof almost all of the time.

I use a rubber door stop between the door and fiberglass on the lower electronics compartment of my 232. Might work for upper electronics compartment.

I added a Simrad GO 9 in mine, and it fit fine.

Let's drop this thread, it is out of hand. I believe that most members have commented NO!

Put me in the NO column

I would not drop my insurance. My neighbor's fire damaged my trailer at more than 1K. I had thought that my homeowner's insurance (State Farm) would cover it if there was any damage in my yard, so I dropped my insurance, it did not cover it. It was not considered as part of the real estate...

Fwd is AUX, Aft is Main on my 1998

Thanks for the info, I think this is what I bought at Home Depot (3/4 MHT brass coupling) in the garden center. Do you think that this is a pipe connector which should work on a garden hose? Description does say fits MOST garden hoses what ever that means.

Thanks Seasick, I think you understand what I am dealing with. My connections are outside of the cowling. I may have to completely replace the hose. I used a braided stainless washing machine hose with a male coupling to attach the two connections. The coupling must not extend into the...

I don't think so. I have replaced gasket and the leak does not occur when attached to the engine blank off. is it possible that the adapter is not pushing the engine tube to the back of the female connector? I think they are the same other than engine is plastic and the other is brass.

I have used this hookup on my 2009 F250 and it works fine on the external flush line. I have one problem and maybe someone has a hint. The motor hose connection leaks on the back side at the coupling. The coupling to engine hose is tight but it still leaks at the back of the female engine...

Great Idea!! I suggest all models I have a 1998 232 and would like to see all their mods.

Placed my Simrad GO9 in the lower electronics box. Works better for viewing for me. 1998 Gulfstream 232G w/hardtop.

My '98 Gulfstream does just fine on Chesapeake Bay with my F250. I agree that twins may help in docking but do you need to spend $$$$$ to dock better? Does make since for offshore because a kicker will not work to get you home. I did not need redundancy and added maintenance cost was a...

I have my electronics in my lower electronics box on my 232. To keep the door open when running I placed a rubber 45 degree door stop between the door and fiberglass near the hinge. Used for several years and keeps the door open when running with no damage.
