    Flush Mount Electronics

    There are bunch of posts on here. You just have to search for them and figure out what works best for you. I did my 1995 272 Sailfish when I first got it last year. It didn't turn out as nice as I wanted (my router skills aren't the best) but, it saved me a ton of money and looks good enough for...

    Outrigger rigging upgrade

    Good content, guys. I am re-rigging this year too. I am going from single to double. What knots are you using to rig?

    Fuel level switch, is it necessary?

    What he said. If you have 2 tanks and only one fuel gauge I would say it is necessary. If you don't have 2 tanks than it isn't needed.

    Sailfish Windlass

    Thanks for the info. Nice sled. Did you drill a hole through the back end of your pulpit to lead to the anchor locker?

    Sailfish Windlass

    I have read a bunch on installation of a windlass and I think I can tackle the project. I don't anchor too often but, still want a reliable windlass. It seems like the Lewmar's are pretty affordable. Is the Lewmar Profish 700 horizontal a good choice for a 272?

    Warning horn / buzzer HELP

    They are pretty small and cost about $100. I would replace them. IF the VRO goes that is the only way to know. The tone of the buzzer is the same for each "alarm" parameter, except the frequency changes. You can find references online. I have gotten so used to mine that I can now even use the...

    Fuel Bladder 272 Sailfish

    I know there are thread on here addressing fuel bladders but, I haven't found one that addresses my question. I'd like to add a 50gal fuel bladder for use on my 1995 272 Sailfish. My plan was to secure it on the bow area and using a quick connect system to run it dry first before switching to...

    Grady 265 express microwave replace with door?

    Another option is to have a canvas made with snaps and put it over. It will serve the same purpose. I am removing the fridge and microwave on my 272 Sailfish over the winter. My plan is to carpet the inside floor (will need to be made for the fridge area) and walls/ceilings of the compartments...

    Sailfish Center Rigger

    I know there have been some threads on the addition of center riggers but, none seem to answer my questions. I am thinking of adding a center rigger to the hard top of my Sailfish 272 over the winter. I have 15' expandable Taco riggers from my old boat. I was thinking of using one for the...

    Battery Relocation?

    Good info from/for all. I think I am going to forego the movement of my batteries for now. I use my trim tabs as appropriate but, I just want to rely on them a little less for increase fuel economy. I like the idea of adding some weight to the anchor locker. I may look into do the same thing.

    272 Sailfish Pump

    Thanks. I have an overboard drain already. I just wasn't sure how complicated accessing the tubing or mounting the pump would be. I know the boxes were made to drain without a pump but, I'd like to be able to evacuate it fast and take care of any scales/slime.

    Winter Upgrades/Maintenance iDeas

    Great ideas/work. I just completed the first season with my new to me 1995 272 Sailfish. I had a GREAT season with her and cannot wait for more. The only thing I really did during the season was swapped out my cockpit lights with LED's and added blue bluewater LED's under the gunwales...

    Which Radar Combo for Gulfstream 232?

    Go to a large West Marine and just try what they have there. I installed a Garmin 7610vsx with 18" HD radar. I am very happy with it. It is easy to use and has all of the features I need and can be easily add upon. I like the ability to have a radar overlay on either my fishing or nav maps or...

    272 Sailfish Pump

    I have searched and cannot find anything about adding a macerator to the fish box. I guess over the winter I'll just check around below deck and see if I can easily access the drain hose and find a location for a pump. I want the pump because the big scales from striped bass clog the the drain.

    272 Sailfish Pump

    Has anyone here added a pump out or macerator to the starboard under seat fish box on a 272 Sailfish or similar boat? Was the job difficult? Thanks
