    Venting problem w/ my '06 Gulfstream HELP!

    My Sailfish is in the shop right now having the pinstripes replaced for this exact reason, fuel coming out of the filler then running down the gunnel onto the hull. In three years of ownership, this is the first time this ever happened. I haven't changed anything in my winter layup procedure...

    Bottom Painting Question

    I have what I would consider a dumb question regarding bottom painting...As I consider painting the bottom, I am wondering is there anything special done to the thru hulls for the livewell, raw water wash down and head when bottom painting? Will there be growth in the hoses/sea cocks?

    Stumped with a wet cabin

    After three years, replacing the hatch a couple of times and the cushions a few times we finally figured out that the water in the cabin was coming from the ceiling mounted rod holders. No, they were not caulked according to the dealer. MB, I am with you on this one...a boat costing six...

    Aft berth question on 2004 Sailfish

    On my 06 Sailfish under the center cushion is where I access my sea cocks for the head. Further aft in this area (the bilge) is where my holding tank is located. This can be accessed by removing the covering board on the berth's bulkhead. Most of the water I see in this area is from when I...

    Leaking wash down pump

    The washdown pump on my 06 Sailfish is leaking at the intake. It appears that the fitting (elbow) from the hose to the pump is where it is leaking from. I have tightened everything twice and it still leaks so I am thinking it has to be the fitting itself. Not much room to operate in down...

    Speaker issues

    If you have the same Jensen unit I have in my 06 Sailfish, finding the fader control on the unit in the cabin is a pain. It is there, but you have to push just the right button the right number of times to find it. I too am interested in hearing where additional cockpit/helm speakers can be...
