I went with the Mercury 225's w/ fly by wire. Can't say enough good things about these engines and systems. I'm very pleased.

I believe you will have to pull the live well and crawl down in the void and do the best you can. Good luck!

Installed AP on my 94 Sailfish 3 years ago. Pump was mounted below, aft of the lower berth. Processor was mounted under the dash on the bulkhead. Control head was mounted on the dash.

I got my replacement from: Fin-Addict Marine 402 W. Martin St. Benson, NC 27504 919-989-6813 Hopefully, they still make them.

Thankyou for your service and welcome aboard.

I agree with Hookup. That is very similar to the way my 94 Sailfish looked. Once opened up, the transom was mostly mush and the end of the stringers were very wet as well.

Congrats and welcome aboard.

That's terrible.

She had 200 gals of fuel and 30 gals of fresh water in the tanks. And I carry 4 batteries in the stern.

I repowered my 1994 27 Sailfish in 2021. Went with the new Mercury 225 V6's. According to Grady White that was my only option for our style of hull (not extended). I have thoroughly enjoyed them. They are super quiet. Push the boat extremely well and do well on fuel mileage.

How do you plan on performing your 100 hr. service on the engines? That will be very important to maintaining the engine warranty. Changing the oil is doable in the water but the lower unit grease is dang near impossible. By the way, I have a 94 Sailfish and absolutely love it. Good luck with...

I agree with Glacierbaze. You may not have a problem now...but it ain't far down the road. Do you have access covers that will allow you to snap some pics of the inside of the transom? I'd love to see them.

The only stringer that was compromised was the middle one. As you see in this pic, it was completely removed and replaced with Coosa board as was the transom. The other stringers were stripped of any loose fiberglass and re-glassed and sistered with Coosa board as well. Unfortunately, I don't...

Repowered my 94 Sailfish in May 2021 with Mercury 225's, V6's. Had the original Yami 200 smokers prior. About three weeks after the repower, the mate told me he noticed the transom flexing back and forth over an inch while crossing small wakes in the no wake zone. I verified the movement the...

I would suggest that during the off season that you get that girl a proper cleaning (maybe even down to the glass) and some antifoulant paint on it before next season. I'm in brackish water and I can get away with new bottom every other year. Best of luck in the future.
