Thanks for the suggestions!

Has anyone ever had any issues with galvanic corrosion? I had a tilt issue some time ago and had to leave the motors in the water for about 2-3 weeks. When I finally got the prop out of the water I had two quarter sized holes eaten out of it. I contacted the prop repair shop and he said that...

Thanks. I'll double check for sure. Had them on a previous boat and they were pretty obvious. It would be much easier if they were adjustable.

Mine doesn't have the extendable arms. I will check out blade sizes vs extendable arm.

Do you know what size blade is supposed to be there? I think it is actually hitting the frame. I never made notice of it because it wasn't getting bound up on anything.

I just had a new enclosure made and installed by Gioia Sails in Lakewood, NJ and I am beyond happy. It is very well made and fits amazing. I only have one problem. Since the install the wipers of my 272 Sailfish hit and bind on the material along the windshield edge. It makes me wonder what size...

I got the 8212 in the mail the other day from BOE Marine. It is a beautiful looking piece of equipment. I am stoked to get it hooked-up and setup to interface with SMARTMODE settings. Unfortunately I won't be able to flush mount it in either the glovebox or radio compartment. I may have a local...

I know exactly what you mean and it is a good point. The 8212 is being used a display and backup GPS in case of failure by my 7610. The majority of the "technology" that I am relying on is in my 7610. From what I can tell the 8212 was released in 2013. It was priced at over $4,000. So, at $1,300...

Has anyone added a transom rod holder to a Sailfish? Under the battery seat is pretty damn tight. Looking to see how you made it happen if so.

I did the face for my 7610 with white starboard. It looks ok. It certainly could use to be redone and routered a bit for a better look but, for fishing it is just fine. There will be a gap at the top. I made a filler piece out of starboard and you can add a bead of caulk to seal it.

Good day. I have a 95' 272 Sailfish. I removed the "glove box" plastic and have flush mounted a Garmin 7610. Does anyone know offhand if I can fit a 12" display in there as well? I don't have access to the boat right this second and there is a really good deal on the 8212 so, I might want to...

Are any of your running a Garmin 8212 MFD? I know they're being discontinued (Garmin usually supports for at least 7 years after) and are now at an unbelievable price of $1500 or less! I currently run a 7610xsv and was thinking of adding the MFD because they are fully compatible via Garmin...

Have any of you installed a windshield fluid reservoir and pump? I am thinking of looking into adding one to my 272 Sailfish. I am tired of light spray drying on the windshield. If you have done this please share your experience, pictures and supply list. Thanks, Fred

With the end of 2016 rapidly approaching it's that time to start thinking of off-season repairs/upgrades. What are some of the ones you are thinking of? Some off of my list for my 272 Sailfish include; - Adding LED to the sides/front of the top - Center rigger (maybe) - Plano box storage...

I have the same radome on my 272 Sailfish mounted all the way forward direct to the top. I have no issues with it at all. I think it is at a good pitch. You can also adjust the radome offset in your settings. I am using it with a 7610vsx.

Interesting. Thanks for the information I will research it the next time I am at the boat.

Interesting. I have 95 Johnsons. There does not seem to be a notch on the switch to where a lanyard would attach.

Therein lies my problem. My boat was manufactured without kill switches. Does anyone know how difficult it is to install them?

I like the idea. I run a 272 Sailfish with twin 200 Johnson's. It doesn't have a tether system. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to put one in?

I always run fresh through mine after each trip. 1995 200hp Johnson's.
