    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.

    Simrad AP26 questions

    So I have an older electronics package on my 232. Circa 2008/09. I have a Simrad AP26 autopilot - I don't know how "active" it is. Especially at trolling speeds (1.7-2.2mph). If I am up planing and turn the dial the boat def will change direction. When I'm trolling the boat easily goes off...

    Yamaha 6Y8 Gauge Hour Meter

    I can't seem to find what I am looking for on the google. My Yamaha gauges 6y8 are both functional yet I can't seem to get the hour meter to show on the port engine when the starboard ignition is in the ON position. If the starboard isn't ON then the port shows the hours without any issues...

    Heading home with my Gulfstream

    Finally picked up my Gulfstream!! Boat was purchased in January. Few small items fixed up in FLorida, imported to Canada recently. Took the 19hrs round trip journey and traveled 1600km to pick it up. No issues with pickup. Drive back was pretty uneventful, definitely had my F150 working harder...

    Boat Renaming....

    I am not at all a superstitious person. But something about boats has me thinking maybe I should consider what others do when renaming a boat. I am not at all a fan of my current boat's name. For one I wouldn't have named it that and secondly I would've spelled it right had I named it the...

    Looking at a 2005 232 w/ twin 150 TXRDs on them. They have around 2000hrs each. Regularly serviced with records. Is this too many hours? How many more hours could I expect reliably out of them with routine service? Thanks BB

    Gulfstream Power

    Sorry if this has been brought up. I'm relatively new to this forum and have a difficult time searching. (Please tell me how if this is an annoying rehash of a topic). I have pretty much settled on a 232 Gulfstream or a used Journey 258. The reality in my neck of the woods is I will likely have...

I have always been looking at Grady's and had a rough idea about what models I would be interested in. Now that I am near the point of formally putting down money I want to continue to...
