    272 Sailfish Cockpit Launcher

    Is anyone running a pedestal launcher in their cockpit of their 272 Sailfish? If so, can you share your pictures and experience with how it interferes with space? I am considering it for offshore trips but, concerned about how much space it takes up.

    Sailfish Helm Area Upgrades?

    I have a 1995 272 Sailfish and I can't stand the wasted space in the helm to side of each seat. Has anyone done anything unique with this area?

    Sailfish Remote Oil Fill Cutout/Mount

    While repowering my 272 Sailfish I broke the plastic recessed mount for the remote oil fill cap. I emailed Grady and didn't get much help. Does anyone know what the proper name is and where I might be able to get them? I would really like to replace it before I put my livewell back in. Thanks

    Deck Drain Thru Hulls

    I have 1995 272 Sailfish and I have been replacing all of the thru hulls. I ordered the thru hull fittings according to GW specs but, the one sent for the deck drain scuppers don't have the pre-drilled areas to attach the plastic scupper ring. My question; are the scuppers REALLY necessary or do...

    Thru Hull Drains - Sources

    While rigging new to me motors on my 1995 272 Sailfish I will be replacing all of the thru hull drains. I have a parts list from GW but, they use various Attwood and Perko parts.

    Oil Fills

    Does anyone know where to get the oil fill "wells" (holds the cap/inlet) for a 272 Sailfish. I know I can contact Grady but, was hoping for an aftermarket source. I cracked mine installing new outboards.

    Switch Panels

    I am looking at redoing the switch panel on my 272 Sailfish this winter. My question for those of you who have done this; Did you remove your circuit breakers and replace them with an add-on fuse block? By doing so seems like a great way to save some money and clean up the panel. Thoughts on...

    Thru Hull Size

    Does anyone know the size of this broken thru hull above the water line? I think it would be 3/4 but, not sure what the barb size would be. Boat is some distance away from me right now. I believe this is the overboard drain for the shower sump/forward bilge.

    Sailfish Fuel Lines

    I will be repowering in a week or two. While doing so I am going to replace all of my fuel lines. Does anyone have a rough idea of how many total feet is needed for twins? I will be ordering it at dealer cost but, it is expensive and I don't need extra lying around. Thanks

    Are any of you running 30" motors on a 5" step plate, particularly on an older 272 Sailfish? I am entertaining getting newer to me motors but, the best pair I have found are 30". I have been told I can install a 5" step jack plate and it would work. Does anyone have firsthand knowledge? Thanks!

    Yamaha 200 HDPI's on a 272 Sailfish

    Hello all. I am currently running twin 1995 200 Johnson's on my 1995 272 Sailfish. The motors run strong but, are very old and not very fuel efficient. There is a guy local to me who has twin 2001 Yamaha 200 HDPI's that are on a 26 Regulator that he bought with the intent to repower with 4...
