4 cycles are generally heavier. Will the extra weight effect performance? My boat is a 1999 model. I have no reason to believe there is rot in the transom, but is there anything about the structural integrity of the stern of the 1999 272 Sailfish that I should be aware of? I’m just looking...

I currently have twin Yamaha OX66 225 HP 2-cycle engines. I’m thinking about replacing them with Mercury 200 HP 4-cycle engines. What factors should I be considering before making this change?

I have a 1999 272 Sailfish with twin Yamaha OX66 225 outboard engines. Thinking about replacing them with new Mercruiser 200 4 cycle engines. What should I be considering?

I did not check the gauge when the tank was empty and did not fill the tank after it was cleaned. At that point I had no reason to believe there might be a problem. I can tell you what the fuel gauge and fuel monitor read when I ran out of gas. The fuel gauge read 1/4 to 1/3 full and the...

Thank you to all who responded to my question - I really appreciate your help. the tanks were drained and cleaned of varnish by a commercial company last September. The gas/water ratio was about the same in both the main and auxiliary tanks. I will definitely seal the sender gaskets - other...

The boat was laid up with a full main fuel tank with stabilizer and full oil tanks. I don’t plan on using the empty auxiliary tank since the longest run I would make on Lake Erie is 35 miles to the Lake Erie Islands Where gas is available. There was water pooled around the sending unit prior...

The water separators were more than half full of water and there was water in the gas filter bowls. It seemed the volume of water was much bigger than what you might expect. This is my first Grady and first boat with outboards. In my years of boating I have had either inboards or I/ O’s, no...

I have a new to me 1999 272 Sailfish. When I bought the boat I had to have the gas tanks emptied because of water in the tanks. The gas caps were replaced by the prior owner and seem to be sealing properly. Where could the water be coming from?
