my mechanic said no need to top-off hydraulic fluid because it is a sealed system? -----is this accurate? slugg.

not sure what u r referring to..... u mean where the wiper attaches to the base or.....?

from previous posts on this site, i think the consensus was that u probably do not need to winterize raw water washdown and baitwell but just run the system dry and leave seacocks half open; my grady dealer also advised that this approach was fine; i would winterize head and freshwater...

if not on the yamaha website then call a dealer or yamaha directly

ok thanks a lot!!

thanks for all the advice....really appreciate it!! both F225's usuually idle at 600 rpm but i have noticed that occasionally the port motor (the one that occassionally stalls) sometimes dips into the 500 rpm range, which it did the other day, especially when coming off plane when i put them...

was out in my 02 sailfish this weekend and using my port F225 engine to back out of slip, it stalled. wasn't going too fast. no sputtering, it just quit. starboard engine was in neutral and was fine. i re-started the engine a few seconds later once underway without any trouble. after a...

Got a 2002 Sailfish and looking for advice on how to winterize the shower sump pump? Do you just pour a gallon of pink down the shower drain and let the pump flush it thru the hoses.....or is there something else i need to do? Also, i unscrewed the rectangle-shaped box on the cabin floor...

212-208-6147 thanks.

i actually want to take the armrests off on my sailfish so there is more room to move around; i took a look under the seats to see if it would be easy but it seems like it will be difficult to get them off.....is that true? also, by removing the armrests, will it inhibit the structural...

got a 02 sailfish w/ twin f225's and with wind at 15 knots or greater it is very difficult to control when i am spinning 180 degrees to go in stern first.....as was said b4, use forward at constant speed and use reverse to control how fast she turns; there is a lot of surface area expsoed on...

a) anything i can easily carry comes off my boat; b) would apply meguiars plast-x to eisen; c) woody to all the metals; d) clean hull and topsides with a f/g cleaner; is it really necessary to wax the whole boat b4 storing under shrink? --slugg

yup...most docks have adapters so u don't need to do anything but watch the guy do the work. don't need to turn on pump. --slugg.

ok will try the bypass hose way. --slugg.

sorry, to make sure i understand: so.... if i drain all the existing water from the 32 gal water tank and 6 gal water heater tank and then first pump the 6 gals of pink thru the cold systems (i.e. faucets, shower, deck wash, windshield washer) and then turn on the hot water at the faucet, the...

have a 2002 sailfish: there is another post going on currently discussing it under Baitwell and S/W Washdown; anyway, dealer told me first get all the water out by running the pumps until dry; then put 6 gallons of pink into the 32 gallon tank, turn on cold water until pink; then turn on...

for a seacock failure, do you guys carry a wooden plug (usually made of pine)? i have heard these are the best but cannot seem to find them anywhere -- if not what is the alternative (a rubber plug)....where do you get these? --slugg

for grady22: as far as closing half way, guess the same goes for the head sea cocks as well -- and spray with corrosion block or CRC; also, do u fill up the hot water tank with pink stuff or bypass it somehow? for Gman25: if u can snap a few pics, that would be great! seems to me if i...

are you using a simple fitting (i can purchase at West Marine etc?) that will allow me to connect the heater input hose and output hose together so the pink stuff bypasses the water heater tank? thx everyone for all the good responses. -slugg
