    How do you dock your Sailfish..?

    I've owned and run several twin inboard and outboard boats. My 272 reacts very much like a twin inboard UNLESS there is a reasonable crosswind on any bow 1/4. Especially if my eisenglass is up. In that case the bow becomes a sail and is hard to overcome without creative vector thinking...

    Thinking of getting a Honda EU2000i

    CO vs O2 For what its worth see this link, http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/c ... m03364.htm I've been running a 2000EUI on my Sailfish since 2006. Sits on aft platform stbd. when in use. I fabricated a mm canvas shroud for it which keeps it dry and reduces sound a bit. I also put 2...

    225 OX 66 Starter Hesitation

    Seasick, My boat is a 272 with the batteries mounted aft. Batt connections are clean. I'll check all connections next time I'm at the boat. When I turn the key I hear a sound, then a sec of nothing, then the starter spins. I'll check with the hood off before cleaning connections. I have a 2 year...

    225 OX 66 Starter Hesitation

    When I turn on my ignition, wait for the warning sounds to stop and turn to start both starter motors hesitate for a second and then start normally. I can't recall if they have been doing that all along or if I never noticed it before. Any advice? Both batteries register 12.6 v off & 14.4 v with...

    250 OX 66 Voltage Issue

    Starboard shows 15 to16 volts on voltmeter when running. On same meter port shows 14.2 which is about right. Seems like voltage regulator. Has anyone changed out a voltage regulator? Please provide details. Thanks.

    Jabsco electric head conversion

    The smell is from your holding tank, non vented loop or loose hose connections. I dump my tank, legally, after each trip including running a few cleanwater cycles thru the head to the ht & then pumping that out. Leaving a ht with waste is the start of odors.

    Best way to sell my Grady

    Good Point! I bought my Sailfish from a dealer I have been going to for parts, outboard repairs & more for 26 years. Trusted them, got a good price and they did some repairs at the sellers expense before delivery to me. I would guess the seller had preapproved a repair budget. Would you rather...

    Macerator Pump

    By pass makes sense altho is illegal. Next time you haul your boat see what hose works when you activate the macerator. Pump out tank first. It could be direct to the head flush pump.

    Macerator Pump

    The internal pump was removed and the conversion made before I bought the boat so there is no internal pump. I've owned it since May 2006 and the external Groco pump died early this year. The mfg label said it was a 2001 as I recall. The Jabsco has a higher gpm rating than the external Groco and...
