I had a similar problem due to a cracked Y valve on suction side of pump.

The Autotether connects to your kill switch just like the clip with the coiled tether does, You can use one kill switch for 2 motors, if your kicker has an ignition switch near your main engine ignition switch (key). Or maybe you can figure a way to add another kill switch for your kicker motor...

Check out ultra pump switches. They turn your pump on and have another set of contacts to give you a high water alarm. I think you could set the switch up to have the alarm operate a indicator light when the water is high enough to energize your pump. They are highly rated to out last other...

Welcome! how's the spec bite?

How the heck do I change the pictures so they can be seen

Well I got tired of cranking the trailer tongue up when un-hooking trailer from truck. Honestly was wearing my shoulder out, and I'm not getting any younger! I bought an electric jack from Northern tools, 3500 lbs capacity. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/ ... _200381584 (Trailer tongue...

Got it. Thanks !!!

Thanks!

I'm having trouble understanding where you mount the steps. Did you bolt through the aluminum hard top support? What size bolts? Do you happen to have a picture? Thanks, Dave

:hmm Ash tray? Incense burner? Mount for fake owls to keep pigeons off? Kinda looks like alcohol stove burner, maybe some kind of tiki light? :lol: Who knows!

BRILLIANT !!!! Thanks for sharing that idea! :goodjob

That's a real nice setup! Thanks. Dave

Thanks for the replies! I put the boat on the water to get an idea of how the hardtop orients to horizontal. Looks to be much like Roberth's layout. The forward part of the top sits at about -2 degrees downward tilt while idling (off plane.) On, plane it looks to be about + 2 degrees tilt. Im...

I am waiting for my new Garmin GRM18XHD radar to be delivered so I can install it on my 1989 25' Sailfish 252G. Does anyone have any experience with a radar installation on this boat? I'm wondering what kind of mount you used, if any, or did you mount it flat on the hardtop. I do trailer the...

My boat (1989 252 sailfish) has an old toilet installed -(portapotty type)- and the bellows pump for flushing is leaking. There is not a maceator pump installed, the Y-valve was rendered inoperable by previous owner I guess to prevent inadvertant discharge. It does have a hose from the Y-valve...

On my 1989 Sailfish I was able to get to that hose without cutting any holes, but it was ALMOST impossible. I removed the bulkhead between the baitwell and the "aft bunk", the place where you put stuff in the cabin below the port helm chair. I had to jack up the deck a little to be able to slide...

I put a back up pump in my old, new to me, '89 Sailfish. I used an Ultra Pumpswitch on the backup. http://www.tefgel.com/contain.php?param ... itch_infor Seems like the other types don't last very long and its such a PITA to get in there to change it, I thought it was worth the extra $$ to get...

So I decided to take another look at the poppet valve and the spring. I took everything off to get at it and when I took the housing off I don’t see the valve! When I was working on it I was rushing and trying to get it done in the dark with a drop light and it must have slipped out when I was...

I adjusted the oil linkage only because I read about what it should be, and found that motor's adjustment to be out of spec. The gap was about .25" instead of the .02" spec causing the motor to use way to much oil. I was not expecting it to, nor did it, change any of the symptoms. Thanks, Dave

OK, so i changed the thermostats and poppet valve (pressure control valve) on the motor that is overheating while idling on hose. They were all pretty corroded and needed cleaning/replacing. (Also replaced the hose from poppet to block and connector to block as they broke while removing poppet...
