When I repowered by Gulfstream (twin 200's) I ended up calling PropGods https://propgods.com/. Ken is helpful and may be able to select the best for your situation. I am very happy with the props I bought from him and the performance is great, as he thought.

I replaced the bait and stern hatch from Ameritool. It worked out great! https://www.ameritoolmfg.com/ I think I found it thru this website in terms of which one matches Grady's. I talked to them as well.

It happens whether using the tilt at the binnacle or at the cowling. And yes, I hear a faint click but it doesn't tilt. I'm thinking the motor (which is a hydraulic pump maybe?). The mechanic is suggesting recabling with larger, finer thread cable. Not sure it is needed. Thanks for the thoughts.

Hi Folks, I have an issue with the port engine, a 2019 Yamaha 200hp. The tilt motor is intermittently not tilting. I have a mechanic checking it out. Sounds like it may be a bad tilt motor. I have had an issue on the same motor a few years ago, the main fuse (20amp) was popping randomly. A...

Thanks for the picture and description. I used the release screw to lower the unit. The boat has set for 3 weeks when I went to tilt it down when it would move. I used both the common trim/tilt switch on the throttle lever and the individual switches (port and starboard) at the binnacle. I...

When I went to tilt my motors to down position, the port side motor didn't move, the starboard worked normally. I checked voltage and was fine. I tried it on my other battery bank and still didn't tilt. I talk the cowling of the engine and could hear a click when trying to tilt. Not a...

My wife and I overnight in our Gulfstream ocassionally, usually at a slip. The bunk arrangement works but not optimal for more than a couple days from my experience. It is definitely cozy. With that said, it is awesome overall, good space for storage, comfortable to sit to get out of the sun...

I am thinking the same, use a clear silicone and apply it similarly to what seasick said. I am also going to look into the products mustang65fbk. Thanks!

Great tip to apply the product in a thin bead from inside, between glass and frame. Len

The two back portholes on my 2004 Gulfstream leak. The are openable but it seems the gasket has dried and doesn't seal. until I find a gasket, I am thinking to caulk it from outside. I'd like to use a pliable calk, one that will be easy(ish) to take off when I get the gasket. Any ideas? I'm...

I have found on my GW Gulftstream, that I switched from 3-strand to 8-strand plait (more of a braid). The 3-strand would 'kink' in the anchor locker and lock up as coming in to the Lewmar Fish windlass I have. Then I'd have to clear it, often having to go to the cabin to access it. It happens...

Thanks for the great ideas, I haven't contacted Pomponette, yet. In the meantime, I am going to clean up the existing gasket (it HAS lost a lot of its elasticity).

Thanks, I like the bracket idea; no welding on the existing 1/2 tower. Is the mounting base thru bolted to the top (using the bolts seen in the picture)? Len

Great ideas from all of you. Thanks.

I will contact Pompannette for sure. I have tried a couple times but usually at the end of the day East Coast time (I'm in California). I haven't figured out how to add additional pressure on the glass; the hinges don't seem to have any adjustment to add pressure. I did add some tape at each...

Both windows/ports leak into the cabin when sprayed. They are Bomar/Pompanette models. They have 3 'dogs' that, when closed, keep pressure on the gasket on the glass. The gasket is probably original and 20+ years old (and has lost its elasticity). GW tried to find a source, but with no luck...

Hi folks, I am contemplating to remove the cabin side mounted sidewinder/wishbow outriggers. I use them periodically, but not that often. The poles themselves are of need for repair. I think removing them would allow me to get from the cockpit to the bow with more space and less things to go...

I went from a GW 208 Adventure to a GW 232 Gulfstream. As others have said, west coast boat pricing is high. I looked on boat trader and other websites, and found a couple 232's on the east coast. I ended up with one from New Jersey and used Uship to have it trucked to Los Angeles. The deal...
