    Gulfstream - Electronics Upgrade screen options

    From what I have heard the older PS30 is better for trolling. Not as detailed maybe but better FOV

    Thanks for all of the replies. Got my stuff ordered and planned through GW dealer. 2x 1243xsv 1kw airmar in hull Fantom 18 raydome Reactor 40 autopilot + screen Fishhawk x4 Panoptix PS30 as it seems to have better reviews for the application for salmon trolling. VHF and autopilot screen will...

    Gulfstream - Electronics Upgrade screen options

    Awesome! I don't think I need a hugely powerful radar. I'm on Lake Superior and I'm never that far offshore. Been out for the last week fishing and I have decided to drop the kicker from the equation. I can keep it always between 2-2.2-2.6mph on fishhawk w a single or twin regardless of current.

    Gulfstream - Electronics Upgrade screen options

    Good day I have an '08 Gulfstream that I am looking to do an electronics upgrade on. As I continue to dream and plan for a bigger boat I still want maximum fishability out of the current boat. I have some older Raymarine equipment; 12" screen, radar, older simrad autopilot. I would like to...

    Fuel gauge / Filling issue

    The boat is sitting slightly bow up. The vent looks to be in the top of the PERKO deck fill (both under same cap)

    Fuel gauge / Filling issue

    I definitely have a venting issue. I popped one of the screws from around the sending unit and the air all escapes. With that the fill neck then empties down. Would it be as simple as changing the vent tubing?

    Fuel gauge / Filling issue

    Thanks!! I have a digital gauge. Is there a different sending unit for different gauges? I will pull off the digital gauge today and find out if there is a model number.

    Fuel gauge / Filling issue

    Looking for some help 2008 GW 232. The last few times I have been out I cannot get my gauge to read full on fuel. It reads 1/2 to 3-4. When I drop the throttle to get out of the hole the gauge will go up to "full" but then settle back down when on plane. I did a full day the other day and put...

    Talk to me about the wings on a Canyon, specifically the 271

    This guy seems to did just fine in the pacific w the marlin. Pick a layout you like. Enjoy the boat and learn when and where you can take it in what weather. or buy a Viking.

    Talk to me about the wings on a Canyon, specifically the 271

    This Just find a boat that you like the layout of. You seem to like the layout of the 228... just get a bigger one. Bigger is more stable. Bigger you can go faster in bad seas. Bigger costs more in gas. It isn't rocket science.

    Transom thickness on a Gulfstream

    My 2007 Gulfstream w/ twin 200 V6's always sit below the waterline. Granted I didn't check the inspection hatch on the bracket, the scumline on the boat shows it always sat that way well before I became the owner. Mine are stainless, but I am in freshwater so haven't been as concerned. I do...

    Gulfstream 232 Boat cover.

    Good question! Hadn't thought of that. I store it indoors; so it would be for dust. I would consider a full winter one depending on price. I don't access the boat again until the spring.
