    Anchor Rope Storage Capacity?

    Does anyone know about how many feet of anchor rope can be stored in the locker of a 272 Sailfish? I just got a windless and was hoping to carry 600'. Thanks

    Windlass

    I just picked up a Good Automatic Company windlass at a price I could not turn down. I am running a 1995 272 Sailfish that is pre-wired. For those of you who installed your own windlass can you please share ideas, pictures and suggestions to make this install successful? If you have firsthand...

    272 Sailfish Aft Deck

    Does anyone know where I can possibly find a used aft deck for a 1995 272 Sailfish? This is the small deck section that butts up against the aft seat/livewell and the main deck covering the fuel tanks. I removed mine to do some work and it has gone missing. Thank you!

    Bypass Electric Fuel Priming Pump?

    After finally getting through most of my repairs for this year I went to start the motors of 1995 272 Sailfish before attempting to launch her. I noticed the starboard fuel priming pump was loud and did not sound as though it was pressurizing. Mind you it worked fine a month ago. I want to...

    Nice! Where did you see the HO's? I would also need controls and rigging.

    "Propping" my Sailfish

    I have a 272 with twin 200 Johnsons. I get about the same, maybe less MPG as you. It was suggested to me to change props (sorry I don't recall what I have) to Rebel props. All I was looking for was .5mpg increase. I lost .5mpg! I am going to check the holes and possibly raise the motors to see...

    87 25’ Sailfish ETech repower

    Good luck. Are these new? I have a 95 272 Sailfish and want to add some fresher power at some point. I think the only option is Etec because of the weight of 4 strokes.

    Birds in the Cabin?

    Thanks guys. I think I will try to get some plastic construction fence and put it under the helm.

    Birds in the Cabin?

    I have a 95' 272 Sailfish. For the past season or so dumpster chickens aka pigeons have been getting into my cabin from the port side under the shelf. Has anyone experienced this problem? How did you solve the problem and keep these rats with wings out of your boat? Fred

    272 Sailfish Aft Bilge Tubing Replacement

    I need to replace the tubing for the aft bilge pump in my 95' 272 Sailfish. What is the best way to replace the tubing? It appears to go underneath the livewell. Does the aft most floor (behind fuel tank access) come out? Thank you

    Under gunnel LED installation

    I used "rope" lighting from Bluewater LED's. They come backed with 3M adhesive. I cleaned under the gunwales with alcohol and stuck them up. They went up easily and have been there for 2 years without any issues. I tied them into the existing cockpit lights which I changed to LED bulbs. [

    Transom Flotation??

    I am not sure of the actual weight changes. I have been told by the Etec dealer the GEN 2's are about 159# heavier. I am sure he is including everything. It might just be time to find some fatties (me included) and stand on the transom lol.

    Transom Flotation??

    Thanks. The Sailfish essentially has a bracket already. Can it be replaced?

    Transom Flotation??

    Just starting to consider repowering my 1995 272 Sailfish which currently has twin 200hp Johnson's. I think it is likely that replacing them with 4 strokes is out of the question due to the weight but, was thinking of GEN 2 E-Tec's if possible. Even the GEN 2 are about 150# heavier than the...

    Batteries

    Thanks for the help. I ordered Deka batteries from Lowes. They actually seemed like the cheapest route. I will look into the ACR.

    Batteries

    Missed that part. I see you're suggesting a deep cycle. Again, my manual says to not use them. I am not sure why other than I don't think DC's are supposed to be constantly charged, rather discharged and then recharged. Thoughts?
