I did not have them on my 272 and found a company in Virginia, Wahoo Industries to make them for the 272. Did a great job and less than 50% of the Grady White mfg who will make them if you want to pay. Jarrett Parker at http://www.wahooindustries.com. I also put a 3 rod holder between the...

Just a quick question. I have a 272, 98 Sailfish with 0X 225 and shore power with a charger. I am greatly inclined to remove the batteries over the winter and unplug the boat. I have actually never left a battery on whatever boat that I have owned over the winter. Even with the charging...

Johnnyboy, as far as the hydraulic steering fluid, you should replace it with new fluid. I had to do the job when the Yamaha dealer did not tighten the steering nut on the left, looking at engine, and all the fluid ran out. So the Yam dealer gave me the correct fitting which screwed into the...

Also, the Yam gauge on my boat is 2 mph fast so use a gps. Steve

Speed seems right with both tanks full. Try going to 4 bar and watch the rpms. If the speed up a bit, then that is the right trim. Yes, gas is heavy and you have 200 gallons on board. I have the same year/motors and have owned it several months also. Still learning about all the bells and...

Dave, very good news on the 105 gallons out and back. I had a 25 Trophy Pro with 175 Fichts on it an used the same amount of fuel for an offshore run, canyons. You can get the Yamaha oil (Hudson Marine) on Kent Island, right past Safeway for $25 per gallon pumped into your own container. Do...

I would call Grady White, tech support, and also pose them that question. I had an 85 Trophy Pro with original tanks when I donated the boat last year and they were original and not leaking. Also, not sure where you are located, but in Maryland, Ocean City, several marinas are selling non...

David, we are in Teal Bay area on one of the canals. Just a quick question, how much fuel to run off to the canyons, troll all day and run back? I am just wondering how bad it will be. Steve

Dave, kind of ironic, I (brother and myself) had the same problem 2 years ago with a Suzuki DF 140 on my '72 20 Robalo. Same symptoms. Ended up pulling it out and trailering it to the Suzuki people and the shift rod had tons of corrosion on the rod which limited the shifting experience. I...

Again, thanks to all who replied. I found the cause of the leak. It was definitely related to the gasket. The 5 screws holding down the fuel sender unit looked like they were the same size, they were not. One screw was a bit longer that the others, 2 threads longer and in the position facing...

Tucker, thanks for the offer and advice. I actually have a new gasket and screws and will torque it down gently vs too much. Steve

To all, good news, had all the hatches (openings) and went up to plane, gas seeped out of the sender unit. Seal Bad. I will fix it on the 4th and go fishing. I had a 25' Trophy Pro for around 13 years and the tanks (original), etc were solid. I really did not suspect the main tank had a...

Again, thanks for the responses. The plan is to bang it around the back bay in OC MD for 20 minutes monitoring if any fuel is leaking. I suspect it is coming from the sender. I had pulled it off to fix the actual sender unit and just hoping it was leaking from there. Should be easy enough...

To all, thanks for the replies. The reserve tank was already full from a previous fill up so thankfully it was not involved. The main tank probably was filled up to probably around 130 out of 150 gallons. I agree with everyone, the main cover has to come off and then pump some fuel into the...

Just bought a 272 Sailfish. Filled up the reserve and put 75 gallons in the main tank. Ran the boat off shore 25 miles, fished all day. No Problems so Far. On the way back to the lift, put 120 gallons in the main tank. Tank said full. On way back. 3 miles. to the lift, smelled fuel. It...

Thanks for looking at this post. I just purchased a 272 1998 GW Sailfish and am in the process of mounting the outrigger holders, standard Lee Juniors bought from a GW member of this website, thanks. I would need three measurements from the attachment points on the side of the cockpit. The...

Another easy way to test the transom is to use the power tilt and bring it up all the way and when it stops, see if the motor moves. Lots of GW's with transom problems. I actually donated my GW 25 Trophy pro due to the transom and blown starboard engine. It was not worth the 5k for the...
