There’s 2 currently that I’m aware of, COX and OXE. The positives are efficiency and lifespan, the drawbacks are weight and price so they are mainly targeted at the yacht tender (to save from having to store gasoline as well as diesel), and commercial (coast guard, govt etc) applications that...

The livewell lid “handle” to open my livewell on my 272 sailfish is completely ruined. The glass must have had gaps and the washers were too small so one too many pulls opening it and the livewell lid now has a 1/2” diameter hole with soft core. For the remainder of the season was thinking of...

Haven’t seen many posts for north of Long Island so figured I’d start a NH/ME/MA thread, hope it’s helpful or at least an enjoyable read. Been slow this year with haddock, have caught (and released) more cod than I’ve see. Haddock. Tuna up here is tuna I’ll leave it at that, quotas closed for...

I was looking for a similar boat before I found the 272 sailfish I now own. The 25’s were nice but a few things I noticed from my search. The Grady drives need to be checked around the bolts for corrosion and water intrusion. I surveyed one and was a day late on another. The one I surveyed had...

Sale pending

Price change, $1500 after talking to max marine in Florida today. Hoping to sell it to someone local so will hold it for a bit but in a few weeks will ship to them.

Selling a complete Raymarine package. Came off my dads recently bought boat, only reason for selling is he upgraded to all furuno electronics (same reason I am not buying off him personal preference for Furuno). All in good shape and working order when removed. All were flush mounted inside an...

When it doesn’t work from the helm that’s the first spot I checked. 1 time it didn’t work the engine was able to raise from the side of the motor switch. The second time, that one didn’t do anything either. Thinking it might be the relay or solenoid. Neither worked after a full 8 hour trip...

Sorry for the delay haven’t had time to log in here in a while. I thought it was common but no where had the connector in anything larger than 14-16 AWG. I was able to find some online and got what I needed. Fixed it Friday afternoon and used the boat all weekend with no issues. Thanks all for...

Any idea where to find the piggyback/multi stack connector in marine grade for 10/12 AWG wire? Even new wire marine only has 14-16, stock wire I’m replacing is 10/12 AWG (yellow connectors), Grady hasn’t returned 3 messages on it (I get transferred to someone’s voicemail and no one has returned...

Thanks added to cart today!

Awesome, thanks! That’s what I thought

Good point! I was aware of this and luckily the previous owner kept everything in good shape so it’s legible, but since I wasn’t sure if I’d need to pull the boat and the river I’m in is one of the worst on the east coast for current I’d really want the second motor for docking to pull it. If I...

Yes great point! Once I was able to use the trim/tilt I moved onto the other issues (since the boat isn’t going anywhere until that’s fixed) but am keeping in mind I need to get back there once I get the panel back together. I was just happy to not have to leave one engine down for a week in the...

Spent some time today working through it all. Trim/tilt must have had an air bubble or has a small leak, but when I got to the boat it worked without touching anything. Will have to keep an eye on it and hopefully it lasts until I pull it to do a thorough check and maybe a rebuild of it if...

Have had the new to me sailfish 272 for a little over a month now. Boats amazing and have been using it at least 3 times a week. Recently I’ve been having electrical gremlins show up. One day, livewell pump and raw water pump stopped working. It ended up being fixed when I took the switch panel...

That’s exactly what I was able to do. I only have two currently but am going to pick up 2 more and replace the front ones. All worked out great with some life caulk and a good drill bit. Was able to install and use 2 days later…with no luck fishing but they came out nice and clean.

Perfect, thanks!

Sorry for the dumb question…but… when you say “run the drill backwards” are you referring to in reverse (loosen if it were a screw) or do you mean from under the gunwale up (reverse direction than the rod holder will be going in)? Sounds like a stupid question but wanted to clarify since I’m...

I had a 2002 F225 on my last boat. Bought it with some corrosion, ran it for a year no issues then did the exhaust update. Mine came apart easy and had not gotten to the block. There’s no true signs of of it gets to the block without pulling the block. Scoping only goes so far (discussed with...
