    Anyone find sliding window knob replacements?

    Well I fabricated one, I’ll attach the pictures. Came out much better than expected, and materials only cost me around $20 off eBay. I did a stainless steel screw, then painted a cap black which is the only part I wasn’t thrilled about, then a 1/4” ID rubber washer to seal around the window hole...

    Anyone find sliding window knob replacements?

    252 Sailfish- Has anyone found a decent window knob replacement for your cabin side slide windows? I was going to just put a RV knob in but the original screw has a washer type thing just under the head which fits snugly in the hole within the glass. If I don’t have any luck here, I’ll try to...

    Good adhesive remover?

    So I took some decals off of my GW after being on for 30 years....left an almost cream colored area where they were stuck. Used acetone to remove the left over adhesive, also tried alcohol but still no major results. Any recommendations? The area left is not sticky to the touch, but when you run...

    Any good ideas to repair screw in snaps for enclosure?

    Thanks guys for the help, I’m gonna try the machine screw buttons first that the first guy posted with a nut on the back. Those SHOULD work. If not, I’ll definitely go with the Marinetex. That sounds like exactly what I’m looking for

    Any good ideas to repair screw in snaps for enclosure?

    So the wind has given my cockpit enclosure a beating over the years, ripping the screw in fasteners (buttons) right out of the fiberglass. Anyone else with this problem? I’ve been looking for buttons with a wider diameter screw attachment as compared to the standard to just re-drill into the...

    Sailfish Faucet on Port Side Question

    That was my guess as well. Running back to the gunwale switch or where the switch would be, there’s a black wire which I tested negative, an orange positive, and an orange negative. Makes no sense to have ground wires running back towards a single on/off switch. The whole things very odd. I did...

    Sailfish Faucet on Port Side Question

    Hello, I have a 1990 GW 25’ Sailfish. I have the gunwale faucet, and am wondering how your faucet pump gets it’s power...the manual looks like it goes to the battery. Is there a switch on the panel that turns the pump on or is there a switch that is supposed to be right near the faucet? I have...

    What are the water gauges for? 1990 GW Sailfish 252

    Thanks guys, thinking you are right cause it does have twin outboards. I’m gonna try to get a brake bleeder suction on the end of the lines and see if they’re clogged or cracked

    What are the water gauges for? 1990 GW Sailfish 252

    So I’m new to the GW’s....I have two water gauges on the dash that read 0-30. Neither one works, as the needle never moves even when the engines are on. What do the gauges read? All they say is “Water”. Anyone else have these gauges? Each gauge has a small rubber hose attached to the back of it...
