I share ownership of a 2001 Grady White Gulfstream 232 (business) and have also just purchased a 2000 228 seafarer for playing. Both were purchased "new to me" this year and came with original 2000 Yamaha HPDI power ( twin 150's on the 232 and single 200 on the 228) My 4 questions mostly based...

Our new to us 1983 Tournament has a fuel guage and it works. We have had the boat out a few times now and did a long run the other day. The fuel guage said I was at half a tank when we got in. When I went to fill it up it only took five gallons. I was told it has 20 gallon tank. I will...

Both the Main and Aux tanks are reading empty on the Yamaha multi-function guage (blinking bottom bar). Gauge worked fine last season and now after putting batteries back in, reading empty. What are chances both senders went bad or got stuck over the winter? Did I miss something when...

My guess is that the vent hose was installed incorrectly with a low spot. During operation, splashing gas gets into the vent and fills that low spot. When you pump fuel into the tank, that 'plug' of fuel in the vent gets blown out. The solution is to reroute the vent hose so that there is a high...

Had my 204c out this morning. Burned about 7 gallons of fuel. Got it up on the trailer and hit the local gas station to top off for the next trip. Got about a gallon in and fi uel began spitting out the vent line. New tank and hoses as of last season. Second trip on a new opti with smartcraft...

Hi, You will only be able to get it from the guages if you have the tach guage that has the push buttons for this option. The buttons that are on the fuel flow guage will not read hours only fuel flow miles per gallon and total fuel. The speedometer reads battery and time . The tach some have...

...line has a s/s ball valve. So I got rid of all the fuel valves and rat's nest fuel hoses, after a 12 volt one month project I now have one fuel guage and a beautiful clean helm area. I replaced all thru hulls with s/s, I've heard the whole brass vs. s/s crap, bottom line I work in a chemical...

I topped off the fuel tank this morning and upon my return from fishing this afternoon, I notice the fuel guage blinking at the last bar on the speed guage. I could not have run the engine more than 2 hrs total without smelling fuel or noticicing a fuel slich while drifting. The speedometer is a...

Yes, I plugged the electrical fitting that was attached to the speedo back to where it was originally (on mine there was only 3 wires, black, white, red) the way I spliced it was by peeling off a large section of insulation in the middle of the cable, cut the white wire, taped the end going to...

Just to follow up on this, finally got it to work: Peeled off the insulation (on that RCA connector/jumper that runs from Speedo Guage to Fuel Management Guage) about halfway inbetween, found the white wire, cut it and spliced it into my GPS NEMA output wire (FROM GPS going TO white wire...

i bought a 1998 marlin with 1998 yam 250's. the montering guage is only montering one engine. i have read the yamaha manual which explains how to switch the guage to either starboard, port or both. this does not happen when i try it. does any one have any helpful ideas where to start. the...

Well, if you measured 80nm on the chart, and had the same by GPS (Trip calculator), then divided it by 50gals, you definitely had nm/gal. NOT called kpg, as knots is a speed, not a distance. Not a bad habit to keep a DR plot, or even to note your position at regular intervals. If you are...

Thanks for the info, I felt ambitious tonight after work and decided to open her up and attempt to remove the fuel tank. I siphoned 99% of the fule out and got to the point to pull the tank out. It seems as though the tank was installed prior to her upper deck. I think I will need to trim the...

Hello All, still enjoying the trials and tribulations of learning the new boat, had a bad ignition coil not firing a cylinder last time, problem solved and power is back....but......I seem to be burning ALOT of gas, port motor (same as one with bad coil) uses about 30% more fuel as per flow...

Update. New fuel pump diaphrams show up today. While waiting on parts I pulled the carbs and cleaned. I picked up the boat in Feb and figured I see how the carbs looked to at least establish a baseline there. They looked good. The look better now, but don't suspect that as the problem. Reassmbly...

...how do I find the manual switch to change and use fuel from the Auxilary fuel tank vs the Main tank? The Sales guy that got me on board today said the switch on the dash is only for the fuel guage level and there should be a manual switch to go from Aux. to Main tank. I could not find one...

:jaw I think the fuel guage will move faster than the speedometer :doh

I took my 208 out last weekend and was watching the gas guage since I was running on last year's gas and wanted to burn it up before refueling. Mine got down to 1 bar and when I filled it up took 50 gals. Exactly the same as seasick said. :goodjob

Normal, The gauge if you are referring to the bar display indicates about 20 gallons when it is at one bar AND starts flashing.This is with a relatively level boat hull Of course if you have a loaded stern and a few people back there you will read an even higher tank level since the angle of the...

Thanks I do appreciate it. My F/P generator just arrived today. Looks nice. Just hope I never have to change the impeller. Ordered some parts from the Grady dealer. I think the tank gauge goes in the head next to the water tank gauge. I wanted to do the installation as if it was factory...
