    new boat advise

    I am leaning towards the gulfstream but am definitely looking for twin 150's or 175's. I only asked about the single 250 as I see a lot of used boats powered with this engine.

    electrical problem?

    I am a relatively new Grady owner and have run into my first issue. My boat is a 1990 tournament 190. The issue I am having is that after having the boat in the water sitting at anchor for an afternoon. When I start the motor up and attempt to trim the engine from the throttle the electrical...
