Inboards are better in reverse than outboards for the following reasons 1) they are set further apart thus giving better handling when the engines are in the f and r positions for maneuverability and 2) the exhaust from the motor comes out thru the prop. In forward the exhaust gas is pushed away...

I had Johnsons 175's carb engins on my old 252 GW Sailfish. They were hard to statt after sitting overnight, just as hard starying after a week or more. I just got used to it and made very sure that my batteries were in tip top shape. I purchased solar cell battery charger/maintainers from...

I don't know if you are in OC NJ. or Md. If you are in NJ, call Kieth or Corky at Campbells New Generatuion in Sommerspoint NJ. They treated me like family, maybe even a little bit better. In addition to replacing my motors they repaired several other problems that I didn't know about including...

I had twin 1999 175 hp fichts on my old 25 sailfish when I bought it. I got less than 40 hours on them when they died. They were replaced by OMC. The new engins lasted about the same time. Omc then told me that they would no longer help me and that the engine failure was my fault. I repowered...

I have the 272 with the same issue. I simply removed the right side arm rest from the port seat. It made a big difference in accessing the cabin/ Marty :)

I am a new member with a 1995 GRADY 272 Sail Fish with the step hull configuration. I just replaced the old OX66 200's with 0 factory rebuilt 0 hour 200 HPDIs. The boat is now about 9 + miles per hour faster. When I give the engines fuel quickly the bow comes up high and stays up for for 15 to...

what should I do If it were me I would talk to the sales manager and give them the opportunity to come to some sort of understanding to make you happy. If the sales co. refuses to cooperate then you can file a formal complaint, with a lawyer, the Better Buisness B in your area or contact the...
