any suggestions?

surprisingly it is a #10. I am not sure if that is original or not, but it is how it is shown in the owners manual. I have decided to go with two individual # 8's from a 60 amp breaker. One for the switch panel and one for the other fuse blocks for accessory feeds.

thanks for the replies...very helpful. i would like to keep this as simple as possible, but not having much experience with this has led me to asking questions. since there are three batteries and three existing switches i would like to utilize them as logically as possible. since i tend to...

I have a Sailfish 252 with dual Yamaha 150HP HPDI's. There are two start batteries and a deepcycle house. There are also 3 seperate switches (1, 2, both, and off). I believe the previous owner added the third switch whcih doenst seem necessary to me. There is also a 3 output guest charger...

I was hoping to see better numbers than that! i have a new northstar 210 fuel computer on route. what speed are you moving at 3200 rpm? i have no idea how the hpdi's compare to your outboards either. thanks for the info.

Looking for the most efficient speed to run my 1988 Sailfish 252 or cruise speed. I know that much will depend on amount of fuel on board, engine weight, etc. I am just looking for general #s. I run the boat typically at 20 knots...but i have no idea if the hull is more efficient at higher...

Just curious if anyone with a similar set up has calculated fuel burn #'s. My fuel guage is unpredictable and i dont have a flowscan so figuring it out myself isnt working. 1988 sailfish 252 twin 2003 Yamaha HPDI 150 HP each. I am just looking for aproximate #s...most at the 20-25knot...

Update Well......i finally finished the filler hoses. What a horrible job. Clearly the boats werent designed to give access for future repair!!! All i can say is that anyone needing to do this job...it can be done but be prepared for a lot of work. I had to cut a hole inside the...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunatley i tried them and they dont have patters for my model year.

i am looking for a replacement enclosure for my 1988 sailfish 252. if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated. i have already sourced a few companies that could do it from scratch, however i am hoping to find a company who already has the pattern.

greyg8r, i would love to see some pics. there is alrady an inspection port just below the filler fittings. i was thinking of installing one inside the fishbox to help pull it through. i imagine there is a zip tie in behind this area that i simply cannot see. i have taken the tanks out, so i...

the hoses are disconnected on both ends...in fact i have pulled botuh fuel tanks out. i picked away as much silicon as possible where the hoses pass through bulkheads....but still they wont budge. very frustrating.. i am at a point now where i am considering installing a new set of hoses in...

i have to replace the fuel filler hoses on my 88 sailfish as they are leaking. has anyone tried this? on my first attempt, complete failure. the hoses would not budge. i have access to under deck behind the fuel tank compartment, but i cant see where the hose is hung up. any suggestions...

Ha..you are probably right. Just trying to do what i can to keep the cushions from staying soaked all of the time.

I have an 88 sailfish and there is a significant leak which has found its way to the aft half of the 1/4 berth. There is a small hatch/compartment which appears to give access to the underside of the port storage box in the cockpit. This area is wet when removed. There is also a small...
