Thanks to you guys for responding and also those who continue to post advice. I will try those methods and will post results.

Morning all and hope your all well. Havent posted in ages- miss this forum! I attempted to fix a deep scratch that went through gel coat. I ordered the spectrum filling gel coat and brought along a car body expert. We taped off the edges and filled it with the gel coat. I came to notice that...

A big thanks to everyone whom helped out in giving me different options to look at to resolve the issue. In the end the issue was over 15 gallons of water in my tanks total. How it all got there, not sure... I haven't used the boat since Sandy and God only knows how/where water could of gotten...

Hey guys: update: Ending up taking alot of water out of my reserve tank, almost 10 gallons and also some water out of my main. Wiped down the floor in the aux tank and drained all fuel lines; at the end of it all batteries were dead so tomorrow I will try my first crank to see if we get anywhere.

Havent checked the ignition but we are getting pressure to the cylinders. How do you check for ignition issues?

Hey guys some updates: Found fouled spark plugs, replaced them all. Then ending up pumping out fuel from reserve tank and finding frothy water. Removed it all safely and tried starting engines again. Nothing at all. Cleaned out gas from vts from the little bolt at the bottom and also...

To be honest, thats a point I made in my head on the way home that day-- I never took her out since Sandy. She was drydocked but who knows what could of happened, I was by an area hit by a 10 foot surge. Im going to put some ring free or similar product, more fresh gas, change the fuel...

Good evening to all. Been a while since my last post... Took my '99 sail fish and had no problems on the way out for the first few minutes at low throttle. Put 15 gallons of fresh fuel in earlier and thought all is well. All pumps are new, t stats from last season. To be honest I did not...

Anyone know the make/model of the macerator on this vessel? Trying to get it replaced

Of course I'm not pumping inshore. I just want the macerator repaired. It's a 1999 27 foot sailfish. Thanks to all those whom helped thus far :goodjob

Hey guys its been a while since I posted : First off its been so crazy with the hurricane, didnt get a chance to do any winter maintaince. Juts my luck, the stinking macerator wont work. Evertyime i put a new fuse in and press it to clear out, the fuse blows. It reads full and I got no idea...

Hey guys long time since I've posted but ran into some headaches during the season. First off, congrats on the new boat,I have a 99 with the same engines and love them. Post the board for the next season and well tell ya what you need to keep her running good. I have had that same gas issue...

All zincs for that matter.

Oh crap I totally forgot to ask this, again my first year out of the water with it, anyone know which and where the zincs go on the sailfish? Spanks!

Thanks a lot for the replies and help. As for the T-STATS, is it true if you break the housing or something along those lines you could need a new engine? Somewhere in this forum I seen a post dont remember where, that if a part was replaced improperly and the housing was broken, your screwed...

Thanks for the information: I heave heard from different people that you should only change lower unit oil if when you remove the bottom drain plug, water comes out. They say that unit is always in water and the oil stays cool thus not burning. As for the steering system, where do you flush it...
