    Steering Wheel Cap

    Find it puzzling that Atwood would make specific 5 spoke wheels with an inside ID differences of 1/16"(i.e. 2 1/8 vs 2 3/16"). The 2 1/8" ID replacement cap was a very snug fit into my wheel and probably will fit yours. The cap OD is 2 1/4". If too loose, a wrap or two of teflon tape should...

    Steering Wheel Cap

    winsor94.....measure the inside ID of the steering wheel hub. If it is 2 1/8" or 2 7/16" a Schmitt SS cap is available from go2marine. It snaps in...no set screw involved. :arrow: See above replies for part #s, etc. The discontinued Atwood cap had plastic clips for retention and hasn't been...

    Steering Wheel Cap

    Just replaced the cap on my 5 spoke Atwood wheel with 2 1/8" ID cap from Schmitt. Ordered the cap through Go2marine part #92626 "Small Stainless Steel Cap For 310 & 410 Series". About 14$. There would have been a "small order charge" but I also ordered electrical parts. After have an...

    Steering Wheel Play

    2000 272 Sailfish....When turning the wheel either left or right, there is about 2 " of turn(very loose) until the hydraulic system begins to turn the motors. Hydraulic system is full and has been bled. After the approx 2" the wheel/motors turn smoothly. Any thoughts as where to start checking...

    272 fresh water fuse and pump

    On my 272 (2000) the fuse block is under the steering/dash panel. The easiest way to find it is to get on your knees between the seats and look under and slightly to port of the steering wheel. You will find that fuse block on the exterior bulkhead panel. The block houses fuses for the...

    Bilge Pumps

    I think you will find that the Rule pump float swithes are wired directly to the batteries through a fused connection(5 or 7.5 amps). This configuration allows the pumps to come on automatically if the boat is unattended. The off/on switches operate the pumps when the power is turned on and...

    2002 282 Sailfish with F225 4strokes what props?

    Don't know exactly which propellers you have. In general, the TL & M designations are for right hand and left hand rotation. The TL is for the contra rotation engine. The first number(15 1/2) refers to the diameter of the propeller while the second number is the pitch of the propeller. I...

    Thanks Ahill...I had read your posts and they were most helpful last year when I aquired the 2000i. Used your idea concerning the extended run tank and it works well.

    Honda 2000i Experiences...

    Use a 2000i on our 272 Sailfish, usually at anchor or at a dock. Need some thoughts on use underway in usually calm conditions. Admiral needs A/C, microwave, curler, etc. in the ICW, etc. Unit mounted on S/B side aft of the fish door with an extended run tank on the port side. Currently not...

    Oil Pump problems on a Yamaha

    Keep in mind that the pre-1996 engines only used the tilt switch(mercury)to keep the oil pump from starting up if the engine is tilted up greater than about 30 degrees(I think). The newer systems such as yours will allow the pump to operate normally when the engine is operating. That is why...

    Oil Pump problems on a Yamaha

    I think the trim sender/tilt angle switches were phased out in the 1996 changes also. The new electronics in the CDI probably keep the pump from running when the engine is not operating. In the spirit of not looking for Unicorns, I think the problem is probably in the float switch...

    Oil Pump problems on a Yamaha

    Any decision about transferring oil is made in the electronic oil control unit. Since 1996, the toggle switch and the electronics have been in the CDI(computer). Check location of the toggle switch. The decision for the alarms are in the CDI as well. If oil will transfer from the boat...

    Oil Pump problems on a Yamaha

    If I understand the situation, there is no oil transfer from boat tank to engine tank automatically. If oil transfer occurs when you use the toggle/bypass switch that probably means that either the tank float assenbly is not operating properly or that there is a problem with the oil controller...

    Bilge Pump Question

    Just last week replaced the original aft 1500 gph in my 2000 272 Sailfish. Chose to use the 2000 gph as the replacement. Same footprint as the 1500, although higher amperage draw. Changed the fuse for the float switch to 15 amp from the original 7.5 amp. Same hose, float switch, etc. The...
