Have finished adding an additional bilge pump to my 272 Sailfish(see Bilge Modifications thread)...now have two 2000 gph Rule pumps in the aft bilge and a 1500 gph Rule in the forward bilge as well as the shower sump pump. Am now trying to decide how I want the three pumps set up to the battery...

Lost power to the courtesy/spreader dome light under the hardtop. Can find no fuses/breakers listed for the system(the manual does indicate a breaker(???) at the "accessory panel" for the spreader lights) and no fuses at the fuse block. Any thoughts or knowledge concerning a fuse/breaker...

Have had great success using 4200 quick cure for regluing the vinyl trim in places where I can use clamps, etc. Having a real problem with the "inside" curves on the aft deck of my 272, especially the curves around the aft seat/battery access hatch. The trim is 4-5 years old and continues...

My 272 Sailfish came with two 1500 gph Rule bilge pumps.....one for the aft bilge and one for the forward bilge. These pumps/switches have no indicator lights or indicators(buzzers/alarms). So, you have no indication that the pumps are operating while underway. Replaced the aft pump with a...

My Sailfish 272 has access doors into each seat pedestal. The port pedestal has the internal tackle drawers, the S/B pedestal has storage space. The door frames are rigid plastic of some type(not starboard). They have become extremely yellowed through the years, probably through sun damage...

My Guest 2630 30amp 3 bank charger(about 11 years old) was heavily soaked with fresh water....took it out of boat and dried it out with a heat gun......plugged it in on the bench and checked voltage on the three positive leads versus the ground lead. All three leads are putting out approx. 17.3...

After years of scrapped knuckles, elbows, etc. while trying to operate the A/C raw water valves, service the bilge pump, etc. through the pie plate in the aft bilge panel, I would like to replace the panel with an access hatch which is easily opened/closed. Tired of re-caulking the existing...

Out to see the fireworks last night and found that my S/B multifunction tach and the fuel management gauge(2000 272 2 by 200 SWS OX66) had no back lighting. The port multi-tach and speed gauges were back lit. Any thoughts or guidance before I start taking the entire panel out?..

Seems that a lot of Garmin users are installing something like a B60(20degrees) through the hull not on the flat but more toward the center line. Will be removing a B744V from the starboard flat in my 2000 272 Sailfish and do not want to replace in kind. Thinking of installling a B117 0 degree...

Does anyone know where the vent line attaches to the water tank on a 2000 272 Sailfish??? Know that the filler cap is vented as in the fuel system cap but cannot determine where the vent line enters the tank. When filling the tank with a hose, there is a substantial spray of water being forced...

2000 272 Sailfish....When turning the wheel either left or right, there is about 2 " of turn(very loose) until the hydraulic system begins to turn the motors. Hydraulic system is full and has been bled. After the approx 2" the wheel/motors turn smoothly. Any thoughts as where to start checking...

Use a 2000i on our 272 Sailfish, usually at anchor or at a dock. Need some thoughts on use underway in usually calm conditions. Admiral needs A/C, microwave, curler, etc. in the ICW, etc. Unit mounted on S/B side aft of the fish door with an extended run tank on the port side. Currently not...

272 Sailfish - The molded plastic door frames on each of the two underseat storage areas are yellowed and scuffed. Tried to wet sand a small area with no real effect. Any thoughts on refinishing or cleaning these?? Local GW dealer quoted $177.00 each for the frames and a 3 week special...

Am tired of pulling the internal GROCO macerator pump in my Sailfish 272(2000). In the past, I have replaced the ceramic seals, bellows, etc. Seems that I have to remove and free up the pump every six months or so. Probably need to put a zipper on it. Has anyone replaced the internal pump...

A run from Key West back to Punta Gorda across Florida bay was pretty bumpy and really wet. The circuit breaker on the wiper switch of my 2000 272 Sailfish popped. Reset breaker and the wipers worked for a while then the breaker popped and could not be reset. Have never worked on these wipers...
