    Gulfsteam 232 Wipers, water hookup

    don't know about the '96, but on my '02 and '09, there is a small knob under the helm that controls the wiper flow. it's actually a valve knob. good luck, ron

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    take a look at your GW manual. for my year the starboard battery switch handles the genset. also look thru the fp manual for troubleshooting, it's pretty thorough. clicking in general usually indicates low battery. do check the genset connections just to be sure. on my year the ground is...

    Boat lists slightly to port at dock

    first, make sure you are looking at fixed points on the boat. a painted bottom line may not be "level". pull out your manual and look at the layout of all equipment. while the centerline installs may not significantly affect a list, port and starboard equipment that could have a "filled" or...

    don't know, but you can download the brochure and owner manual from the GW site. also, pop the pie plates and the info will be on each tank. good luck, ron

    Mods please close

    Re: Needed to vent about a Grady White dealership experience not to defend anyone, but it may depend on how "testing for water" was done. if they did pull the fuel line and draw fuel out, 1 gallon of water would have been fairly dispersed on the bottom of a big tank and may have been below the...

    Should I call the insurance company.

    sounds like expensive damage. depending on deducible, i would call. that's what you buy insurance for. and i think the marine insurers are braced for spring based on the winter we had in the NE. good luck, ron

    Removing skateboard grip tape from non-skid

    i use a product called "lift off". lowes, home depot, etc. very good and safer than acetone. if you need to replace the tape, there is a marine product made in various widths. it is non-skid, but not using grit. i use it on the leading edge of my cockpit steps. in the sun, you could barely...

    Foam Around '89 Sailfish Fuel Tanks?

    that may or may not be an original tank. GW doesn't use foam now (you can ask them if they ever did) and as said, would hold moisture next to the metal. good luck, ron

    33 Express Pop Up Electronics Enclosure

    personally, i would go the bezel route. you can also use some thin acrylic. there are lighter colors if that is what you want. good luck, ron

    Boat US Radar Claim

    starting to understand the radar thing. get your serial number and ask garmin the manufacture date. do it by email and include the fact that you need to prove date of purchase to your insurance adjuster. garmin has always been very helpful to me. once you get the email with manufacture date...

    Boat US Radar Claim

    ok, still not following this, but. if you have an agreed hull value policy, that is what you will be paid if you lose the boat. that is what the premium is calculated on. so if it says $50k, that's what you get. motors and such do have some depreciation, but you can buy a waiver for a very...

    Any issues with isolating the bilge?

    i'm not sure where you are going with this. are you isolating the bilge area where the fuel tank(s) is(are)? if so, how do you drain them out. other than that, i wouldn't want my bilge compartmentalized to the point i have to mess with opening gateways if i start shipping water. but that's...

    232 vs 265 express

    i had an '02 gulfstream with twin f200's. i think it needs twins for close quarter maneuvering and agree north of 300 hp. rarely put mine past 3/4 throttle, but there if you need it. you need to figure out what you want. cabin "sleeping" about the same in both, but a standup head in the 265...

    Boat US Radar Claim

    really hard to follow your post. but if it was a 17 year old piece of equipment i wouldn't have made a claim. i have boat us for over 12 years. only one claim (knock resin covered wood). hit something second year (2010) on a new boat and busted a lower. their share of loss was $5 k. i sent...

    try here. http://fischerpanda.com/marinegen/downloads the FP guys are also very helpful. if it's only 3k are you sure it's an FP. GW did use some others in the past. good luck, ron

    Yamaha Command Link - Fuel Consumption Gauge Accuracy

    both of mine were very accurate. the 232 ran a little high and the 330 is almost spot on. i know the older gauge had dip switches to tweak the rate, but i felt having more fuel than what the usage said was a good thing. don't know if the new ones (CL) have adjustments, but you can find out...
