Re: Cape and Islands Grady club? Is it alive? I fish boat Buzzards Bay , CC Bay, The Vineyard and Cuttyhunk.

drain plug To replace the drain plug I used the opaque white plastic ssold a westmarine. Previously the original plugs had been replaced by a boat yard with the same material. Problem was the threading got destroyed by removing them and replaceing them every trip. My solution was to get 3/4"...

Done (almost) I did not remove my engines or bracket. I used a variety of tools; fillet knife, hack saw blade, various other knives and finally a dremmle tool with a very thin wire wheel and totally cleaned out the // between the bracket and the hull. I actually created a very slight groove...

Best advice, sell the traps and buy some lobster :roll: . the easiest way to protect the boat is to buy some carpet long enough to lay over the gunnel and have it reach the water to protect the hull because you will bang the hull with traps and long enough to run over the gunnel and onto the...

No problem on the hijack, that is a beauty finest, did that bracket actually raise your stern? My back end could certainly use a lift with the twin 4 strokes on the origianl aluminum bracket. what did it cost ? (hope you don't mind me asking)

"MY RESULTS MAY NOT BE TYPICAL" My bottom was horrible. I don't think it had ever been properly prepped. I started to strip it by hand/chemical and there were layers of every color and type of bottom paint sold since 89 on it and several layers of paint that appeared to be other than bottom...

yes

89 sailfish 252 g with twin 175 suk 4strokes on bracket. stripped to gel coat the 2nd year we owned it. found bad repairs that were allowing water penetration. found areas where the gelcoat was gone (cloth not wet out when built and gaps in chines where there was NOTHING behind the gel...

BPM bpm is who I ordered my parts thru; including the new impeller housing :( Being a first timer the first engine went very slowly, reading directions from two sources and developing, stbd, a system. The good news, on inspection it appears that the stbd engine was OK, no wear,etc. we...

tried, got "this page is mot available" very interested in seeing them. Where'd you get them? price? where did you install them? thanks

done one, one to go very easy once you have GOOD directions

truck good point, love my tundra v8

I 2nd the craigslist idea. Great place to get bargains. As for winter storage, even though I keep my sailfish 252 on a trailer all summer, in the winter I use boat stands to lift it off the trailer. I think its better for the trailer/tires and also makes it easier to work on the hull. Its...

on the side of the road wednesday. so I pulled over to ask if the trucker needed any local help. He already had a cpl mechanics under the hood but he was amused tha someone had finally stopped to offer assistance. He'd been there for over two hours. I apologized for working so late and told...

got it apparently there is an 8th bolt under the skeg (which is removed by removing a bolt that suziki does not count). This last bolt is recessed deep under the sleg and is not noticable unless you look up into the hole under the skeg. thanks to FLOT on THT

I have a 1989 Sailfish. The wood panel (plywood) at the rear of the cockpit (separating the area beneath the fish box and bait box where the batteries and switches,and livewell / washdown valve live from the cockpit) is delaminating and needs to be replaced. It currently has three doors...

Trying to change my impeller. The owners manual says 1) shift to neutral 2) remove 7 bolts and 3) remove gearcase from driveshaft housing. The problem is the gearcase is not dropping free. It seems that the shift rod is not disengaging from the gearcase. I did not remove...
