I have a 1986 Sailfish with the 125 gallon center tank. My old sending unit is dead and replaced with a new one, I just need to verify the depth of the tank if anyone knows offhand.

OOPS!!! Gotta learn how to keep my mouth shut! We have a very active fishing forum up here which covers mainly Lake O, but also the Finger Lakes at www.lakeontariounited.com if you or your brother are interested. Sounds like a very similar adventure when I get together with my brother... enjoy!

Ken, I've spent the past 30 years of my life fishing the Big-O and would miss it greatly if I left... The ocean is awesome, but to have a mini ocean with a fantastic fishery and freshwater is awesome too. My brother moved to Charleston, SC 10 years ago and runs a Sailfish down there, but...

Talked to the marina today, hope to get in beg of March to at least lift the center hatch and assess things a bit further. Smelled fumes backing up into the cabin after my last fillup in August. I purposely ran the tank down to about 20 gallons remaining to be in a better spot to do what's...

Twin 470's with an Atlantic Tower. All set to rip salmon! Can't wait for spring again! [/img]

My Sailfish is a bit rare in that it's an '86 with twin 470 I/O's, been on Lake O forever and am not worried about the tank... so would like to avoid pulling the tank if at all possible. From everything I'm seeing this is asking too much and might even be impossible just because I cannot see...

I would like to see some photos of what you did. I have an '86 sailfish in need of replacement. Thanks, Hans

I'm new to the site, I have an 86' Sailfish up her on Lake Ontario. It's been a freshwater boat, so I'm not concerned about fuel tank rot, but I am concerned about the fuel fill and vent lines. I have noticed some fumes after filling. So, my questions are; accessing just the fill line for...
