GW Sailfish 272, where to mount 5hp Honda? For the inflatable tender... I'm sure someone has this figured out. Yesterday at the marina I saw a Luhrs with the little Merc he uses for his inflatable mounted on the stern rail. Looks like he took a couple pieces of Trex decking, used a round router...

Never approach your dock faster than you are willing to hit it...

Ah, Freddy, looks like you're all done & ready for the snow to fly. I went to the Marina today to see if our boat is out of the water yet... ...it's not. Thank you for sending the pics. I can do this... 8) Best regards, -Mike

Beautiful! Just what I was looking for. Thank you! Best regards, -Mike

Hello Henry, In my case, the dome light was "Perko." Regards, Mike BTW, West Marine may have a replacement if that is the route you wish to go....

Hello Mark, A very timely post...as I am beginning to address some discrepancies on my '99 GW Sailfish. Took the dome lt switch from the mid-cabin berth and didn't want to spend $35 to replace the lamp assembly when unable to find a swith that would fit. MUCH APPRECIATED!! :wink: And welcome...

Well, it's that time of year again... :( This is our first year of ownership of our '99 Sailfish and I need to frame up a structure for support of the tarp. In years past, I would use strapping wood (1"X3") to make a long continuous "ridge board" front to rear and support it with verticals...

Find a reputable surveyor. Do not even think of buying a boat without having a professional survey. It will be the best money you ever spend. Cost a few hundred bucks, but can save you a LOT of heartache. Best wishes, Mike

Me too. Best I've tried...

Use a good penetrant, then use it again and again . Don't know what your timetable is, but if you spray these several times over a period of a week or two, your chances of an uneventful removal are much better. Impact drivers, using a really good (Snap-On) screwdriver with a wrench on the hex by...

Good on you, mrzeeno... I also have a 272 Sailfish and a couple of 6 year old grandkids. Hoping I can follow in your footsteps. Regards & Best wishes, Mike

Sometimes they provide a rubber o ring for the water drain valve at the bottom of the Racor... -Mike

Use a good penetrant now (PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, Zep45, etc.) and again in a few days. Then use a punch and hammer to jar things somewhat. Then spray again. Couple days later try again. Wet the tip of the Phillips and dip in Comet or Ajax to keep it from slipping. Good luck. If they break...

Sounds to me like you need to have the batteries load-tested. At 13.2V, they are fully-charged (by the on-board charger) when hooked to shore power. Are you saying they are dying while underway, or dying at anchorage with the engines off? Regards, -Mike
