    1990 252 SAILFISH SPORT BRIDGE - WATER PUMP CHANGE OUT

    Do you have twin outboards? If so, my 92 should be the same. The FW pump is behind the lower berth rear service panel, and the SW pump is behind the cockpit rear service panel on the port side. The FW pump feeds both sinks from the FW tank, and perhaps a gunnel port on the port side, and HW...

    Yamaha HPDI 200 low idle

    Are you saying BOTH motors idle low? And condition started at the same time? There are no common Yamaha systems shared between motors. Except fuel. Is your fuel good? Can try hooking up a portable fuel tank with fresh fuel to one of the motors. If it was one motor, there is a sequence...

    Late 80s early 90s sailfish vs gulfstream

    I think you will find more 25s than 23s for sale, and all 25s had twins. Many 23s came as singles. If staying overnight in cabin, big difference in accommodations between the two models.

    trouble filling main fuel tank 252G sailfish

    No reason to reroute the 1.5 in. Fill lines. The deck fitting is much higher than the tank fitting, irrespective of being on the water or trailer, or hose route. You have a separate vent fitting on the side of the hull, one for each tank, with a high loop inside hull accessible via starboard...

    1991 GW Sailfish Sitting heavy at stern in water

    The tanks sit on a flat 1/2 in. ply floor, there is no foam under them. So does the fw and waste tanks. If you were to dump a 5 gal bucket of water in the cabin thru the floor deck plate, does it end up at the stern when getting up on plane? There is a path to get back there and pass thru...

    Confusion: Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump on Adventure 208

    Next time motor sounds like it's going to die, get to the squeeze bulb primer quick and see if it collapsed, if it is then there is a restriction on the boat side of the bulb. On my 204c, had the occasion to pick out a chuck of sealant from the pickup tube that limited motor rpm. And you...
