    Fresh Water System Pump

    I was draining my freshwater tank today on my gulfstream and the pump just stopped. Any idea what a replacement costs? Do these pumps have any type of reset switch? It was working fine and then just stopped.

    I might need a new trim/tilt motor!! Help!

    I had the same problem with one of the trim pistons on my 2002 Yamaha last season. I would get a small slick every time I put the engine up or down. Had the seal replaced last week for about $250 and the boat went in the water a couple of days ago. Put the engine down last night for the first...

    trip from Cape Cod to Boston

    I bought my Gulfstream in Duxbury a couple of years ago and brought it home to RI through the canal. I had radar installed prior to the trip and it was the best decision I ever made. We were in think fog with almost zero visibility almost the entire ride. The boat handled the trip very well...

    Replacing Snaps on Cushions

    I sent Grady customer service an email asking if I could get replacement snaps direct from the factory and I am awaiting a response. If that doesn't work, I will probably go to a local canvass repair shop.

    Changing Running Light Bulbs

    I need to change the bulb in my starboard side running light. I removed the stainless cover but can't figure out how to get access to the bulb. Before I accidentally break the plastic housing, can someone let me know how to remove the cover underneath the stainless cap to get to the bulb?

    I would appreciate any thoughts/suggestions regarding the following problem: When I turn my wipers on, only the portside wiper moves. I tried replacing the fuse which did not help, in fact after I replaced the fuse I couldn't shut the portside wiper off with the switch. The only way I could...

    Spreader Light Switch

    I think it's a Perko. Has the red / white light option on 1 side and the spreader light swith on the other. Hopefully it's just the fuse.

    Propane Grills

    I am planning to buy a Magma propane grill, but am concerned about an open flame being so close to 150 gallons of gasoline. Should I opt for an electric version instead? Is there any risks of the flame igniting vapors from the fuel tanks?

    Bimini for Gulfstream Cockpit

    Is anyone aware of a bimini/cover available for a Gulfstream that could be installed to block sun in the cockpit area? I have a hardtop but on a cloudless day, anyone sitting in the cockpit area gets cooked.
