    house battery aux charge wire

    I have a 1994 Sailfish with 3 batteries, and I have figured out that only the 2 engine starting batteries are being charged by the motors when running. The house battery is not getting a charge. My motors are twin 200 yami's and I have read that there is an aux charging wire that you can buy and...

    Bad Gas

    I have a 94 Sailfish, and I had the reserve filled when I bought her in Norfolk a year ago. The marina did not have ethanol free gas. I decided I better burn it since it was getting old, and the engines wont run. I dumped some out and it looks nasty. Small white things all in it, and a clear...

    sailfish 87 windows

    One Word: CAULK. I restored a 94 sailfish last year, the windows leaked terribly. I did several searches for help and found all kinds of posts about replacement of the seals, removing the windows, ect. Don't waste your time. The windows were originally sealed by caulk between the aluminum frame...

    Chartplotter Help

    I am looking to replace my old garmin 198c. I have it down to 2 units, the Garmin 4212 and the Raymarine c120. I like the Garmin, but the sales guy at West Marine said the Garmin came out in 07 and is pretty slow. I played with the c120 at the store and it seemed faster. I don't plan on adding...

    Captains Chair Part

    Does anyone know if and where I can get a replacement clamp to tighten the swivel for a captains chair on a 94 Sailfish. It basically a "U" bolt with one side very long that has the knob on the end to clamp the chair in place and keep it from swiveling. Thanks much.

    outrigger poles disassembly

    Thanks for the input guys, bummer that I may not be able to disassemble. How are they put together, just friction set, or are they threaded?

    outrigger poles disassembly

    I have what I assume are the original aluminum outrigger poles on a 94 25' Sailfish. Anyone know how to take them apart? I tried some channel locks but could not get any of the sections to budge. Thanks.

    Yamaha 200 owners manual

    Thanks for the offer, but the 94 model is carburetor. Yamaha website has owner's manuals on line for viewing only, but they only go back to 1998 and I am unsure if they are the same. Here is the link though, if anyone else needs an owner's manual for a 98 or newer...

    New Sailfish owner with a few questions

    Hello all, I just purchased a 94 25' Sailfish. Great boat. I have a few questions I was hoping someone could answer. First, I have never kept a boat in the water before. With the small amount of water that seems to stand around the forward and aft bilges, is there any danger of damaging the...
