Sold!!!

Bumping this back up. The boat is scheduled for bottom paint and full compound on April 2nd. Will be in the water shortly after just in time for the spring striper run.

Here’s a few more. I can take more for anyone interested. Thanks

Morning everyone. I’m selling my 99 sailfish 272. Lots and lots of upgrades over the last 4 season I’ve owned it. I’ll try to list everything but I’m sure I’ll forget some - twin 225 hp ox66 Yamahas, hours unknown but compression is around 122psi on all 12 cylinders. Both lower units resealed...

There’s no visible leaks and the fluid level hasn’t dropped. You have me thinking it’s a solenoid valve issue. Thanks for the pointers

I have a 99 sailfish with the original Bennett hydraulic trim tabs. They are super slow to move and the port side like to retract on its own under way. I’m thinking it’s time to replace the actuators. Anyone have any info on these? Is there a way to upgrade them so I can have the switch with...

The ones I used are the 0403436. Complete set.

Yes sorry I see that now I got the port and starboard swapped. Not sure how I made that mistake but I’ll edit that shortly. Yes the port side I went thru the livewell. Once removed u have all the room in the world. I assume your wash down pump is in the same location s mine under the smaller...

Mine is 150 gallon main with a 52 gallon aux.

This is straight from Grady for my 99 sailfish. The fuel sender for the 150 main is made by WEMA USA (PH# 954-463-1075) and their item # is SSL316-17.5 153047 (17 1/2" length). The AUX sender is item # SSL316-16 153044 (16" sender).

Here’s the hardtop diagram. There’s the feed for the fuse block then a separate feed which they have labeled as the vhf. Hard to read but u get the idea.

I believe those wires are dedicated for vhf use. I have the factory wiring diagrams somewhere I’ll double check.

What ^^^ he said. Check all the thru holes and hoses. I know the hoses on my 99’ sailfish were beyond shot when I replaced them last year. One nearly disintegrated when I touched it.

I wouldn’t. They reduce flow and clog easily. Plus being off the side of the boat if you were to hit something and shear one off you could be in trouble quick.

I installed a garmin 942 in mine last year. Of course, the 943 came out like 2 weeks later. I used some 1/4” black plexiglass to install the unit and then made a door to the right to I could use that dead space as a glove box. I love how it turned out. I can keep my phone, wallet, keys plus the...

The deck drains are sold thru marine town. You can call or email them and they can get you what you need. They are also sold on eBay but cost a bit more. Search Grady cockpit floor drain. They look like this

From the side is very doable and once finished it’s out of sight out of mind. Nothing to stub your toe on. If you get the new two piece deck drains from Grady, you can drill the old drains out with a hole saw from the top. There is plenty of room to get your arm in there and reach down to remove...

I like the idea of storage for things you may not need very often. There is about 4-5” of space between the walls so it would have to be a fairly shallow box.

Thanks for adding the link to your thread. After doing the job, do you think if the main tank was about a foot longer you would be able to install it without getting all jammed up? After seeing your pictures, I’m starting to think they had to make to separate tanks so they could install/remove...

Good question. I’m not sure what’s between the tanks. That could very well be my deciding factor. I also just thought about the newer 282s have one large deck panel whereas my 272 has a large one with a smaller one aft that has a bulkhead between the two. I’m thinking that might not allow a...
