Jeff- did you replace the hose that goes to the large fish box drain? lol I had to have that one done by a fiberglass guy... cut a hole in the fish box next to the drain, put new hose on, re-glass bottom of fish box. there's NO WAY to reach it! But it connects to the bait well drain at a tee...

Driver- here's a link to a guy that make doors http://louveredproductsunlimited.com/

I changed all my thru-hulls AND hoses. I don't know what someone would have charged me to do it, but it probably would have been a bargain! I don't think I would try to do it again. Some hoses are practically unreachable. Getting to the bait well drain fitting to change the hose was a real...

Sounds like a 252 G also. Click here to download a brochure from 1988 http://www.gradywhite.com/archived-brochures/

Which model do you have? I have a 1989 sailfish 252g. Changed all fitting and hoses when I got it about 3 years ago. Let me know if it's the same boat. The job was a real PITA. Figuring out all the sizes without being on the boat will be tough, I contacted grady white and they gave me a list of...

Just had isinglass replaced on my side window. He cut out the old glass, removed the zipper, and reinstalled zipper in new glass on the existing canvas for $150

I need to add another transducer to my 1989 25'Sailfish with twin outboards on bracket. I have a TM150 transom mounted just starboard of the keel. I'm looking to add a side view (gt30). Port side of keel I have the water pickup, so I don't think I would be able to mount there because of...

So I bought my Powerball ticket today and will see what happens:) :lol:

Check grounds?

On my 1989 Sailfish 252 the deck is 7' 8" (99") wide and 7' 2" (86") long from helm step down to inside of transom. Part of the deck behind the two helm seats are taken up by the ice chest on the port side and part of the fish box on the starboard side. these also double as seating.

makes sense

That picture is confusing to me. You're saying it is showing 2 tanks there? If so, I don't see a vent hose OR a filler hose on the tank on the left. Looks to me like that is one large tank. Is the aux tank under the floor panel that's still installed? (to the right) Open the deck plate and see...

Thanks for the info, this would be a great source of information if we could get a thread of real weights of different models. I need to weigh my rig, 1989 255 sailfish with 2- 150 HPDIs on dual axle trailer. I'm guessing around 8500-9000, but would be interested if anyone does have real weight...

Sounds like a plan! Be sure to show how it turns out if you do it. I'm tired of my rods banging around on the cushions and stove area!

I know this is an old post originally, but I'm also looking for any experience for more comfortable replacement helm seats for a 1989 sailfish.

Re: Advice on replacing broken canvas snaps on aluminum hard Replace with river or screw? Stainless or aluminum hardware?

Re: Advice on replacing broken canvas snaps on aluminum hard Thanks for the info!

Re: Advice on replacing broken canvas snaps on aluminum hard Oh boy. Another fun job! Any tricks to make drilling easy? The ones that are broken off are going to be tough to drill out! I guess try to file them down flat to the aluminum, then center punch them. Maybe a Dewalt pilot point bit...

My 1989 Sailfish 252 had snaps on the hardtop support aluminum tubing when I got it. They were old and not taken care of, but most of them were useable when I had isinglass enclosure installed. 2 years later, I need to remove and replace a lot of them. It looks like they are riveted to the...
