    grady 282 throttle cable

    I'm going from memory here...so take it for what it's worth. I believe I ordered 20' for the starboard and 22' for the port. If I can find my old reciept I will verify for you.

    1996 272 Sailfish Questions

    Does your 96 have the stepped up hull at the transom as the 94 does? If so, you will want to check with Grady to see what weight that boat hold on the stern. Just a FYI...They told me I could not put the Yamaha F200's on the back of mine due to too much weight on the stern. Right now my only...

    1996 272 Sailfish Questions

    I have the same boat in the '94 model with basically the same engines. Fully loaded with 202 gals of fuel, 32 gals of fresh water, ice, bait, beer and up to eight people and you can count on 1.0 mile per gallon. A few less people and you might creep up to 1.3 mpg. As for the engines, thought...

    Newly Inherited Marlin

    First and foremost...let's find out where you are located. As mentioned, most every state has some sort of safe boating course. Most of which are on-line. Also, there are many, many folks on here that would probably be willing to offer a hand if you are local to them. Good luck and happy...

    98 272 Sailfish Remote Oil Tanks

    This means that the port tank oil level is in the safe zone. The starboard tank needs oil added to it before the audible alarm starts to sound. It's a very short trip from yellow to red. Ask me how I know. Each tank holds roughly 3 gals of oil. And yes, each remote tank should have a sensor...

    Gasoline Smell in Cabin

    Topped the tank off that afternoon prior to turning on AC. And yes, pretty hot right now.

    Gasoline Smell in Cabin

    Got a '94, 27 Sailfish with a/c. Haven't stayed on the boat since last year but decided I would tonight. Need to get an early start to a long tomorrow. Anywho, turned AC on this afternoon and when I returned later this evening I was greeted with a very strong smell of gasoline in the cabin...

    Okay, so let's talk A/C installs...

    I'm not real familiar with the islander but on my 27 sailfish the ac unit is mounted behind the fridge, so there is room for both.

    Fueling up to go offshore.

    Great looking boat. I'm located in Little River myself. We're practically neighbors. And yes...I've done the 14 hour boatride to the stream and back.

    Air conditioner 282 sailfish?

    The one Grady installed on mine is 5800 btu and on some very hot days it could use some help.

    Sailfish 27.5

    I'm going to give mine a good look see next time I'm down on the boat. I'm gonna have somebody look back there when we throttle up and see if any water comes into the motor well from that fitting.

    Sailfish 27.5

    This is what is should like from the other side. I believe there is a drain in the motor well that is plumbed to the trim tab recess.

    Adding Genset to Marlin

    So, looking to move from my 272 to a Marlin. Can't afford a newer model so looking at anything from 2004 to 2012. Some have gensets others don't. Some had them and then removed but wiring and plumbing remain. As this will be used as a charter boat, I really want an operable genset. How hard...

    Fuel Primer pumps

    I'll see if I can get the name off of one of mine tomorrow.

    Is this a concern?

    Just had the exact same thing happen to me. Mine was 94 two stroke but non the less the same parts involved. It's a pretty straight forward fix once you have replacement parts in hand. Youtube is your friend. Several good videos on changing these seals.

    New to me 272 Sailfish

    Here's how mine are configured. The tubes are just welded to a tube that is bent to follow the line of the hardtop. Three flanges are welded to the tube and are through bolted in the hardtop. See attached pics.
