The engines visually shake pretty much like most 10 year old 2 strokes do at low rpm, however you can not "see" any difference in the engine shake when you "feel" the vibration. Thank you all for the input. If I find the solution I will follow up with a post. And if anyone has a...

David, I would say that it does feel like some sort of harmonic vibration which in my experience is somewhat normal on every boat that I run at a given speed. However, since you (and I) have both posted that this started a couple of years ago leads me to believe it is something else. I...

great idea

Bob... My mechanic is a Yamaha guy...he said it was normal with these engines citing the cylinder drop thing...but I can't reconcille that with the fact that this vibration did not always occur. Good idea about the Grady Dealer ride, however I'm not sure if they would be interested...I...

Bob...Here it goes... Port Engine only...small vibration, but easily acceptable Stbd Engine only...noticable vibration, makes you think what the? Both Engines running...shakes like crazy. And as stated, never had the problem until two years ago. And what really gets me is that I could...

Grady28... I have the same problem on my 2000 272 with twin 225 ox66's. I have spent quite a few bucks to get rid of it and to no avail. It is awful and has had me looking to repower for some time now (just need the bucks). I'm not clear if you have F225's or 225 ox66's? Please let me...

Hi Guys... Didn't forget about this, but I've had a bit of trouble geeting in touch with the guys at Grady. I did call again this morning and they are on an extended fourth of July holiday and will return next Monday. I did look further into the potential access that could be gained by...

This is what I was afraid of...I love my boat and I love Grady, but this is just plain dumb. (Sorry Guys). I'm seriously thinking about cutting an access hatch (using a 6" deck plate to match the rest of the boat) where the transom door rests when open. I guess I should call the guys at CS...

Can anyone tell me how to inspect the hose connections for the starboard scuppers on a 2000 Sailfish 272? I can't seem to be able to even see them form the aft seat access. Has anyone ever had to change the hose clamps? Thanks.

Welcome Mike, Try checking the grady website and download the owners manual for your boat. If I remember correctly, they may have the spec in there. I think its at the end. I would also bring a small piece of fine grit sandpaper with you as I had the same problem with my boat when I...

Thank you guys...I bought the Salt Away on my way home last night and will be flushing away today and from here on out. I'm also going to check the wiring connections.

The zincs all look good and I change those annually during routine service even though they probably don't need to be changed. The green definately does look like corrosion, and the white like salt. If I had the forethought of posting this I would have taken a picture before dumping them...

Crud looks white and green...like they have been in for ever. They are Yamaha parts, purchased at the grady dealer, and my mechanic changed them the first two times, and I can honestly say that the guy I use is very competant. Said he never saw this before. I can't say for certain that I know...

Hello All, I have an issue that has puzzled everyone I have spoken with. This includes my mechanic, two local Grady White Dealers, the Yamaha customer service dept., as well as all of my buddies at the dock. I have a pair of model year 2000 225 ox66 Yammies on my Sailfish, and have to...

LOL...Hey I'm all for using power when I can...but if you use the Woody wax compound really wet and thin, almost as a cleaner wax, its really not that bad. In fact, it was easier than using the Fleetwax cleaner wax straight from the bottle. I'm just really conservative with buffers and...

Tucker, I have tried this spray wax, (after i used their compound by hand) and it reallly is right up there with the best I've used. Lasted a solid three months in the middle of a south Florida summer, and when I say lasted, I mean it looked great, kept its shine, and was still beading...

Thank you...looks like I have a new weekend project...unless of course the weather is nice :)

Yes...as far as it would go, and I have used these for years on another boat without issue. I'm glad to hear that yours has the starboard block, because it just seems logical that it would be needed. Should be interesting to see if any other members have my kind of installation without issue...

I have been struggling with an annoying issue with my Lee Jr Outriggers onboard my 272 Sailfish. They were installed by the previous owner (which may be the problem) and they bind terribly when I lower them for fishing. I am very familiar with this type of base and never had this problem...

I have a Sailfish and LOVE it. I was faced with the same dilema when I bought mine and the Sailfish won out for my intended use. HOWEVER... I used to fish the Hudson Canyon ALOT on a big sportfish. And while my sailfish could do it, I would say that if you are planning that trip on a regular...
