Awesome start to more memories!

No because even when trying to use a five gallon gas can to fill both tanks coughed up gas. Didn’t have any of that and the gas was much faster then me by hand.

Minimal steering but sure I need to bleed the line and add fluid. Easy fix.

Not the perfect answer but was able to get both tanks fueled today on land via a slow gas pump. Both had approximately 30 gallons in as figured. So good news the boat is in the water. Did encounter a steering issue but that I can fix when I get back from a business trip. Appreciate everyone’s...

Haven’t avoided the answer but during a remodel of house a back issue surfaced putting me out of action. Today I jumped into boat and believe both tanks are at best 1/3full. Ran wire into vent line from filler and nothing (no guarantee I didn’t push further). Tried filling one tank via a fiver...

Totally forgot about that posting. Dad passed and put the boat away without out thinking on fixing. Wish I had so I can use boat. Will post my findings by the weekend.

No fuel in bilge or anything else as was cleaned at year end. No fuel smell either. Tanks have always read well on gauges and aligns with fuel added. Fuel separator never shows much water and changed during cleaning process to get ready for summer. Motors both start.

Yes I have two 92 gallon tanks. I also have the screw top in the picture above. When I get home today will check out. Question if I blow air down or use wire. Not sure how anything could get in. Also very careful when adding additives as always remove foil before adding to tank. Baffled as boat...

No external vents. Assumed was vented through a second line in the fuel line but don’t see one. Will remove flooring to get to tank vents. Is there a “trick” on cleaning vent? Should have stated also tried using five gallon tank to slowly add fuel and did same as filling station. Gas does get...

I have dual 92 gal tanks on my Gulfstream 232 and can’t for the life of me figure out why I can’t get fuel in either. Both tanks allow for a small amount of fuel to be filled and then overflows at the nozzle. Assume the fuel tube is having an air lock but no idea how to check or clear the air...

Good news the day light grows longer every day going forward!

Same to you. Want to thank you for your replies to me and others. Sharing your knowledge has been a great gift!

Got a 2000 232 and went with swivel mounts (Cannon). Tight fit (and a few four letter words) but love and trust the setup. Going on four years with zero issues. Good luck - tight lines!

Wow Lots of comments. Lake Champlain freezes and the goal is to put in garage (have a cover) to work on as the season gets closer. Vermont winters are cold and the garage is insulated and heated (28x40). Some fisherman fish as long as possible but because they have to back in and not worry about...

Recently purchased new house on Lake Champlain with large separate garage. Garage doors are large in width and height but still too short to back Gulfstream 232 with hardtop in. My first thought is to cut door header and raise to add one more door section. Lowering air pressure in tires seems...

Bad news is the only Yamaha dealer in VT I trusted closed shop. Everyone else is playing the game of pay or go elsewhere. I am willing to pull boat to NH or ME if needed.

Had bad experiences with Mercury outboards - both were new and shit the bed within four years with the same dealer maintaining them. Not sure I can go back there. Interested in the fly by wire options but don’t know anyone having them.

Currently have twin two stroke Yamaha 150’s with just over 1200 hours. Engines run well but too much tweaking and would love to get rid of oil requirements as not getting any younger. My dad recently passed and told me I was inheriting enough to replace with newer twins to last my lifetime of...

Apologize for the late response. Dad fight cancer and spending time with him. thanks for the input. Decided to tackle this when I pull in October and use the second take - still 92 gallons - and not going too far with risks. Will post my results at a later date!
