    Outboard graphics

    I bought new graphics for my Honda silver outboards. Anyone have a suggestion on a good way to remove the old ones. They just don't peal off.

    Gulfstream Repower

    I have a 2002 Gulfstream with twin Honda 130s with 1000 hours. I have no problems with the engines but I would like to explore my repower options. I would like to move up to twin 150s or 175s, either Honda again or Suzuki. I know there are factors that come in to the price like upgraded gauges...

    Depth finder not working

    This may be a really stupid question. I had my boat delivered for the summer this past weekend. Everything worked except my depth finder. I have a Garmin chartplotter/depth finder and the chartplotter works fine. Is it possible to have the depth finder fixed without pulling the boat?

    Maybe a stupid question, but if I would like my fuel tank inspected and the fuel lines replaced this winter storage season, do I need to run the tank close to empty or doesn't it matter?...John

    Autopilot for gulfstream

    I am looking to add an autopilot for my 2002 Gulfstream with twin Honda 130s. Never had one and I think it would make my offshore trips a little easier as I get older. Any suggestions on what make/model that would fit my boat? Also how much would an approximate cost be installed by an...

    2002 Gulfstream

    I have a 2002 Gulfstream that I take great pride in her appearance. The blue area on the side of the boat where the 232 logo is located has faded. I'm not sure what material it is (paint?) Does anyone know how this can be restored to look like new?

    I have a 2002 Gulfstream. There is some pitting in the piping in the usual places under the hardtop. (was like that when I bought it 6 years ago).

    repower gulfstream

    I have a 2002 Gulfstream with twin Honda 130s. Anyone have any thoughts of a repower with Honda 150s vs Yamaha 150s. I was quoted a price for Yamaha 150s of $39,000! (Engines, control, and standard guages). Seems pretty steep to me. Anyone have any numbers from a repower for me to compare to?

    Gulfstream Repower

    Didn't get any response from my post about repowering my Gulfstream with yamaha 150s. Has anyone had any experience repowering their Gradys? Is there a certain standard installation labor rate that I should be looking for? Does anyone know of a fair discount off of the MSRP of the engines? Just...

    Gulfstream Repower

    I have a 2002 Gulfstream with twin honda 130s. Instead of a $7000 repair I am considering repowering with Yamaha 150s. Does anyone have an idea of a ballpark price to repower with new gauges? I see prices on the internet of 11k-13k for each engine, but of course that is not installed. Not sure...

    throttle sticks

    I have a 2002 Gulfstream with 275 hours and twin Honda 130s. The throttle is stiff and really difficult to shift from foward to neutral and to reverse. Really difficult docking in the wind. Sometimes hard to tell if I am in neutral when quickly shifting. Is this a major repair or could it have...
