Hey, remember me? Same name, same boat and year, same motors. Been about 10 yrs since I communicated. I recall you helping me out with a mold issue in the cabin, nasty stuff that mold. Anyway, just a tip, google up Perko 285DP. I used these to replace the four in the deck. Just have to cut...

If you cut new hose to the exact length required then it shouldn’t be any issue. If you can get your hands on the hose under the deck. Double clamps.

Do you have twin outboards? If so, my 92 should be the same. The FW pump is behind the lower berth rear service panel, and the SW pump is behind the cockpit rear service panel on the port side. The FW pump feeds both sinks from the FW tank, and perhaps a gunnel port on the port side, and HW...

Did you realize the 1992 Sailfish was the first year the Sailfish was produced with the SeaV2 hull design?

It’s called a splash plate and is screwed into the bottom rear of the drive, the bottom of the drive rear edge has a recess so it’s flush. It was for Mercs and Yamahas only, JohnsonRudes 1989 and up have it as part of the motor. Per device bulletin 1C-86 to All dealers subject Grady Drive...

On the 90, if you have the Grady Drive version, the two gas tanks are under the big floor cover, nothing else. Under the rear bilge area cover is the sw washdown/livewell pump, the fw pump is behind the rear partition in the lower berth. You can also access the sw pump from the rear service...

One sensor may be internally stuck from old age/ etc. Can you read each motor individually? My sensors are slow to move particularly at low speed.

Are you saying BOTH motors idle low? And condition started at the same time? There are no common Yamaha systems shared between motors. Except fuel. Is your fuel good? Can try hooking up a portable fuel tank with fresh fuel to one of the motors. If it was one motor, there is a sequence...

The islander was offered in single and twin motor options, not the sailfish - twins only.

I think you will find more 25s than 23s for sale, and all 25s had twins. Many 23s came as singles. If staying overnight in cabin, big difference in accommodations between the two models.

By the way, do you have the 3rd hatch opening? I don’t see it in photos. Or is it under the platform?

Hi RobertH, with my same boat and motors! And it’s been some time - To answer you, the boat was equipped with the oem Springfield drive, no platform. The platform was optional. Check with Brian he had a ‘93 with the same setup. The stern changed entirely in ‘94.

I sent you a PM.

If the Honda 2kw 120v unit doesn't have a built in gfci, can add one. They come as in line and waterproof, for temp use. A gfci does not require a 3rd wire to function, nor a separate ground.

No reason to reroute the 1.5 in. Fill lines. The deck fitting is much higher than the tank fitting, irrespective of being on the water or trailer, or hose route. You have a separate vent fitting on the side of the hull, one for each tank, with a high loop inside hull accessible via starboard...

The tanks sit on a flat 1/2 in. ply floor, there is no foam under them. So does the fw and waste tanks. If you were to dump a 5 gal bucket of water in the cabin thru the floor deck plate, does it end up at the stern when getting up on plane? There is a path to get back there and pass thru...

Next time motor sounds like it's going to die, get to the squeeze bulb primer quick and see if it collapsed, if it is then there is a restriction on the boat side of the bulb. On my 204c, had the occasion to pick out a chuck of sealant from the pickup tube that limited motor rpm. And you...

Running with the aux fuel tank empty may provide similar results.

On this center console model, is the console above the tanks? If so what penetrations leave the bottom of the console? How is the console fastened to the deck? The 283 has the Sailfish hull, is there one or two tanks in the 2006?

The fill line may be kinked choked nearly closed, more likely blocked vent fitting or hose. You have access to the vent and fill line connections at the tank, take off the vent line and blow thru it. If any resistance, no go! When fueling, I can readily hear the vents in action. Always start...
