My first Grady was an 85 Seafarer and had one option a side fresh water faucet - the first weekend we bought the boat the pump had died. I remember returning to the dealer for a warranty claim and the dealer said boats should made with as few moving parts as possible. Can't believe the number of...

151/2 x 17 - Running these on 4.2L f250.

I have always disconnected the negative on the 3 batteries in November and just reconnect in April. Never had and issue with batteries not holding their charge unless the battery was at the end of its life cycle. If I'm working on anything electrical on the boat in the spring. I will use shore...

Another option may be to pick up a portable Honda generator - they are very quiet and provide reliable power.

SF is a great all around boat - you will really like it. Good Luck. inspect that transom cap and replace if it is the original aluminum cap with corrosion pitting/holes.

I got my Isotherm replacement for my Sailfish at West Marine

I had an 85 Seafarer it was a good but it did give the body a beating in choppy waters. I have had a chance to ride on my nephews Seafarer that has the SV hull and there is an incredible improvement from what I remember of 85 Seafarer hull. The 85 is till running strong with a new owner. Is you...

I had a GW dealer tell me that it was not necessarily a weight issue (may be in some cases) but from an engineering POV, it was the amount of thrust, particularly from the 4 strokes. As some said earlier the f225 are a very good match for that boat with plenty of power.

You could run the wire down the pipe attached to the overhead box to the lower box. Lower box - follow wires to the wall behind the aft cabin(should be an access panel in the aft berth). This is the area where your head holding tank, macerator and fresh water pump are installed . From there...

Since we have determined that you are using the correct fill, the vent is functional and the electric pump is working it sounds like a blockage somewhere along the fill line - have you tried either blasting water in by sealing around the hose and fill with rags or using a wet vac to suck out the...

I had an 04 Gulfstream and will tell you it is a great boat and handles like a much bigger rig. The boat I had was powered by a F225 and I had no complaints. I am on the south shore of Ma and used the boat extensively on Cape Cod Bay and several trips to Nantucket and Martha Vineyard. Twins...

I have been very happy with West Marine AGM in both performance and longevity

I replaced mine with one from Walmart - the only adjustment I had to do was remove the rubber tab feet. I ma not at the boat now but can get you the name later in the weeks - it was 5 or 6 years ago but there should be something clost to your needs there. Somebody in another post had said they...

I get 5 years with AGM - as stated above wire those each terminal group of wires and the job is much easier. if you don't one wire is always sure to slide down in back and then when you find something not working it a not so fun project figuring out where the missing wire is hiding!

I have an 04 SF and it does not have either of those outlets. On my boat the fresh water shower is in the port side beside the stern seat. My saltwater washdown is also port beside the live well compartment. You will love the Sailfish it is a great boat. one thing I would check right away is the...

Congrats - I have a SF and it is a great boat that you will love!

Nice job - looks new!

Maui Jim for my choice - expensive but great customer service - send them to maui Jim for new lenses and in a very few days they are back fully restores with lens and arms as good as new - flat fee covers the repair. Tough to beat theeir visual performance .
