Not buying BP gas will hurt BP, but it will also hurt the gas station owner. Most are independant owners locked in contracts. Still sucks. Looks like my Sailfish will spend most of the summer on the trailer the way things are going.

Just purchased a Pro fish 700 last week. Have not installed it yet, but it appears MUCH heavier duty than the factory one on my 272.

Leaving tomorrow for a week at Islamorada. Plan to pick up a paper chart while there. Hope to get some good diving and fishing in.

When I purchased my Sailfish I was getting salt water in the forward bilge. Turns out I had a leak around my transducer. The front of the boat sits lower in the water at rest, so any leak will go to the front bilge.....i fixed the leak and now it stays dry.

On my 272 it is fed off of the fresh water tank.

My trailer is a Hi-Tech. So far I have no complaints, if anything I feel it is a little "overbuilt", which is never a bad thing.

Good call guys, I forgot about the VST. You have 2 filters and a strainer under the cowel of an HPDI. Good time to change them out if you have not already. The strainer is in the VST tank. FYI, I have 3 200hp HPDIs. I had trouble with one and fought for over a month to get it to run right...

No it does not (wish it did). I ended up buying the Yamaha diagnostic software and connector. I pulled the sensor and cleaned it with carb cleaner, checked it with an ohm meter, and put it back in. Running fine ever since. It is actually fairly easy to do.

Sounds like an O2 sensor. Follow the instructions on the link below. http://www.boatsetup.com/O2sensor.pdf

Thanks guys. It sounds like I should be OK, but I will keep an eye on it.

I plan on taking my small (22ft) boat to the Keys on vacation and leaving it in the water for 7 days. It does not have bottom paint. Does anyone know if this is long enough to cause a problem? Or is there a temporary caoting I could put on it? I do not plan on bottom paitning for a one time thing.

Yesterday the shut down commercial and recreational fishing 20+ miles offshore for Miss, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle.

Mine was a little over $5K. Heavy duty tandem (8 lug axles), brakes on both axles, spare hub & wheel. 5 aluminim wheels cost me $500 extra.

The pump and resevoir are located behind the panel in the aft berth along with the fresh water pump. I checked mine recenlty and had to add fluid. Have paper towels handy in case you spill some.

On my 272 you can pull out the deck section behind the gas tank to get to the pump. I pulled mine off while repairng a leak on my through hull transducer. The job is really not that bad, just get a tube or two of the proper sealant when you put the deck plate back in.

Robinson Island, Orange Beach Alabama. Hope to make it to St. Joe soon.

Not exactly sure what you are talking about. I use the Pelican racks and have had good luck with them.

Has anyone had to replace the dome light in the cabin? I beleive the bulb is a perko 337013DP. I was wondering if anyone has found an alternative, so far I have been unable to cross reference it.

Where did you find a deal like that? Any left???

I ended upadding another set of bunks to act as guides before it raises up on the main ones. Once up on the trailer the boat does nor rest on this second set. I will take pictures when I can to better demonstrate how I did it. I thought about the roller, but I had issues with them...
