i had an '02 with twin f200's. the 232 is a heavy boat. the 200's were perfect. i cruised in the 3 to 4k range, very easy on the motors. if i rigged a new one, no question that i would put twin f200's with dts. the lighter engine weight is an added plus. you can compare the performance...

it looks like that model is not the "black box" one, but you would have a sonar gsd mounted somewhere. since you are saying that the error is radar, it is mostlikely a connection directly into the rear of the MFD, the radar itself, or a coupler or splitter if one is in line. for example, i...

What year boat and which gps? Why do you think you have a "black box"? Ron

me too. this is what happens when you don't buy a new boat every two years :mrgreen: by the time i'm ready for a new one, the composites should be well tested in the real world. ron

all use wood in the transom. at a certain length, the stringers are composite for weight reasons (i asked). i know for sure that the 330 is composite stringers. there are other parts that are composites (like hardtop). you can ask GW directly and they will give you accurate info on whichever...

i think southco makes them, but i got a couple right from my dealer. good luck, ron

Oh yeah, that'll goof up your ride :mrgreen:

Twins or single. If you let go off the wheel does it track straight or turn. If twins, one engine could be further out than the other. If single, the engine trim tab may need to be adjusted. Once at cruise it should not get worse with more speed unless one of the points I mentioned needs...

congratulations. that's what the trim tabs are for. you should also make sure all of your stowed gear is balanced as much as possible. eg. a spare anchor, rode, chain and all your fishing weights on the same side as the live well won't help any. small boats are very susceptible to weight...

on the f350's not an expert, but hearing from them. the problem with the early ones was with the drainage over the winter. not complete and cracked jackets. i had one go. they did change the exhaust and require antifreeze in the 350's. they also just put a maintenance program in effect for...

pretty much in line with the others. we had a gulfstream w/ twin f200's prior and this one has f350's. my preference is to have more power than less. i mainly run at 25 to 28 or so mph turning between 3700 and 4000 with a burn of 1 mpg fully wet. the 4 blade props i use are a world of...

i had an '02 purchased new. if you did a bracket removal, you might have gaps back there which should be dealt with (probably 5200 and a wrench). i would call GW and find out about removing the foam. i had none and maybe they determined the foam was not such a good idea. if it is sealed...

water was entering thru the inspection plate on my bracket. i sealed it up with some boat life caulk and never had a problem afterward. i removed the bottom plug annually to drain any water at layup (none there) and regrease it. good luck, ron

which engines? could you be a little more specific regards to "any sort". ron

a by-pass may have been installed for winterization. without the by-pass, you have to fill the entire water heater tank in order to push antifreeze thru the system. GW does not recommend by-passes (probably for this reason). you need to make sure the by-pass is in the position whereby the...

that's boat yard 101. antifreeze should be run thru all of your fresh and raw water systems. if you paid them for the winterization, i hope they ponied up for the strainer replacement. good luck, ron

i'm running 4 blades. there is a slight nick on the mpg and the top speed is reduced a few mph, but the improved handling far outweighs those losses. i am able to do real tight s turns without ventilating and the handling in following seas is significantly improved. low speed control is also...

i'm pretty sure mine runs into the bilge. only one line going to the sump. at some point i may extend the helm drain. ron

if it were my boat, i would haul and do a thorough inspection of the hull. if you have intrusion of sea water at the dock, you are slowly sinking. if you had a rough ride, you could have hit something that holed the hull (or broken a thru hull or xducer). not something you should wait for...

the harness i posted hooks on to the stern eyes. i have used them for decades.
