Thanks. I'll give it a try. I've looked at the stb. side carefully, maybe I'll get lucky. As with most hard to access areas PITA is a given. I won't be back to the boat for a week or two, if you get a chance see if you can reach the scupper hose clamps on your boat and let me know your results.

Those are tried & true methods under reasonable access. Try reaching the the 4 points of contact on a 1998 Sailfish or later please, then give me your thoughts My boat is 140 miles distant. You can access under rear seat without cutting the deck but I doubt that will be effective. Please verify...

The long arm will need herculean strength to remove the aged hose by hand.

I know there have been a number of topics on this. Port is easy as I already cut in an access panel below the livewell plus the livewell can be removed. I'll have to cut an access panel probably thru the deck for starboard. Has anyone done this? How did you do it and do you have any pics?

Ignition switch is a good place to start. I had the same problem on my prior boat with OMC's. The killswitch is wired to the ignition switch, I think a purple wire also may be yellow & black. Time has a way with memory. Take the purple/BY wire off the switch & try to start. if it starts the...

Perhaps the chains failed as well, Murphy's Law. Murphy's law with boats is exponential.

Anyone hear of this? Read tonight that Bimini bay was closed till november. Marina and all common areas including pools and restaurants are closed. They are banking on winter business to keep,them going? Funny how they closed after the last big summer holiday weekend. So much for the. Casino plans

More likely low oil in engine resrvoir causing engine to throttle back to 1500. Check if the oil pump in the remote tank is working.

Depends on your charger.

I have the same boat. Your speed at 3900 seems awfully low. Are you maeasuring by GPS or speedo? If by GPS your unit of measure may be in knots, not mph. GPH is close. http://www.a-maz.com/waterstainremover.phpry

Time to clean 'em out again!

Poppet valves are the problem! Change both engines. You may also need to change the housings & bypass tube.

So you ground the fill to an ungrounded tank?

Make sure you index the bolt holes to ease reinstallation. Withdraw the sender slowly as it holds fuel that can leak into the bilge.

Thanks, that's a great source.

ocnslr- Are you using a windlass? If so what is the splicing method to the chain with that line?

My 3 bank Guest charger had the house side charging circuit fail to shut off, frying a house battery. Switched to a Genius 4 2 years ago & have had no problems. Leave it on all the time, with engine batts switched off. Got it at batterystuff.com.

I'd contact Grady White with hull # of your boat and ask them. Next contact windlass mf with model of windlass & ask them. Windlass chain is different than other chain plus on smaller windlasses the rode is direct spliced to the chain.

Grady states that the 1998 & later 272(282) is 28' from transom to bow, add whatever the pulpit length is for overall. Here's my link, many updates since posted. http://www.ablboats.com/84961

The 2 way bearing in the clutch is the problem. I learned the hard way. Never use the windlass to hold the boat at anchor or in the pulpit. You have to disassemble the winch down to the clutch plate and use 2 vise grips to free the bearing. If it won't free up the new one costs about $400.00 I...
