Thanks for taking the time to reply. As you can see the temp gauge is next to useless , it just shows that it is within range indeed right in the middle . I would be much happier if it showed actual temp. As I found some marks on the old impeller I thought I would get a lot more volume out of...

Stainless steel all the way , Kodiak or Deemax are fine. I have them on my current trailer had them on my previous trailer and never any problems . I use S/S calipers, S/S rotors , S/S brackets and S/S backing plated pads . three times the price but cheaper in the long run especially if you...

This is what I use 2"x4" that brings it to the height I feel suitable so I never hit the ground . In any case never relay on the mooring stops ( that's what they are for) and tilt it down as far as possible without hitting ground . On some bigger boats with tweens you would be able to trailer...

My water pump was due for service. I got a genuine Yamaha kit rather than just replace the impeller . When I pull it apart the old impeller was a bit damaged but she never overheated . I wouldn't know the pressure as Yamaha don't give you pressure gauge, pretty silly really , Mercury does. In...

Property tax on a boat? What would they think next? Do they tax you on the air you breath? I think we are very lucky here, we don't even pay property tax on our home as long as it is the principal place of residence.

Seasick is referring to spacing between bunks 30 & 58". 15" & 29" from the centre is the same spacing. Yes that is the inside, so space them 30" apart .

Are you sure your rev counters are correct? Doing simple math ( assuming you have 1.86 gears) at 4400 your theoretical speed is about 31.5 mph, at 4800 34.4 mph . If you allow for some slip you will be going under 30 mph. Do you think that is about the speed you were doing? If that is so it...

If you can over rev it with 22" pitch going down to 18.5" is not the answer she will over rev much easier. You may need to go to a bigger pitch like 23 or even 24". $ blades will get you up on the plane quicker but somewhat less top end than 3 blades all else equal. Don't try to compare Zuke...

If you can over rev it with 22" pitch ( I think the range should be between 5700 and 6300) going down to 18.5" is not the answer she will over rev much easier. You may need to go to a bigger pitch like 23 or even 24". $ blades will get you up on the plane quicker but somewhat less top end than...

I have a GPS EPIRB ( mandatory here), they come with a free battery replacement after 5 years and when 10 years old you must replace them with new. Any vessel going 2 kn miles offshore has to have an EPIRB as well as a lot of other safety gear like marine radio, life jackets , flares ( in date)...

I have this one on mine, was on when I bought the boat, works fine .

I need your Address ( city and zip will do ) in order to get a shipping quote. Either post or email: wrxhoon@yahoo.com

Looks like Furuno

Hi Chris, I will check shipping on Monday or Tuesday ( Sydney time) and I will advice you . I know it will not be cheap as it weighs a bit over 70 lb. I'll check all options and if it is cheaper I'm happy to pack it in two parcels . It doesn't come with S/S screws, you have to use your existing...

I bought this a few years ago with the intension of replacing the rub rail on my old boat. I sold that and bought another boat, 2013 model that has the S/S rail. When I bought it I was told that i bought one of the last ones and when they all gone they wouldn't make any more . I can't say if...

It is 78 ft. My understanding is that they are common to all GW boats depending on year of manufacture . Have a look at the picture , it has the part number and the length. If they can't find one in USA let me know and I'll investigate shipping cost. I will be happy with $600 us for the item.

I have a genuine GW new in the box, if you can't find one there I can check shipping cost for you .

I have a new original manufacturers rub rail that I bought a few years ago and never used it . Unfortunately shipping from Australia will be expensive.

Have you checked under the rubrail?

One way to test the transom strength, tilt the motor up have someone bouncing it and watch the transom for flex. If there isn't any flex it should be fine. Another way drill a couple holes ( 1/8")on the inside of the transom somewhere close to the main bolts . Check the wood shavings for...
