I just bought an '88 sailfish 252 with yamaha 200's. I am going through from bow to stern. Does anyone know where the reserve oil tanks were placed in the original design? Currently they are located next to the port seat but that doesn't seem right to me.

thanks for the reply. I thought that is where they should be. I'm not sure why they were moved? I want to put them back where they belong, any chance you could send a picture when you get a chance.

Maybe a previous owner had trouble reaching the fill hole of the container so they moved it?

You can probably find the holes for where it was originally mounted. However, you can put the bottle wherever you want to so don't feel that you must put it where Grady put it. Maybe you can find an even better place!
