    New Grady Early Spring Survey

    If I was going to make the leap it would be from the Sailfish to the Marlin or 33 Express. Definitely would not consider a dual console

    Repower options for 282, real data available?

    I updated my 2004 Sailfish from Yamaha F225s the F250 and the performance difference is remarkable - out of the hole thrust is great, top end speed is 51 in the spring. Fuel consumption is comparable or slightly better than the F225s. I never had any issue with the F225s until the corrosion...

    Troubleshooting an Old Fridge

    The frig runs off your batteries so if you are not on shore power you need to make sure you shut it off or it will drain your batteries. Also in addition to the circuit breaker there should be an on / off switch in the rear or the frig in the upper right hand corner. Good luck

    Loss of steering control...need guidance.

    I would start by just adding hydraulic fluid to the system. Not sure of the particulars of your system but if fluid is added and the wheel controls the engine, some systems self bleed by turning all the way to the right and then the left. Once you have the system corrected I would do a thorough...

    Yamaha f350

    Did Yamaha drop the F350 or do you mean since it has been plagued by problems it is not a sought after engine?

    Help needed adjusting tilt/trim sender

    I have the same set up as you with twin 250s, but mine were set by the dealer on install. Here is a link that shows how to program the engine using a NMEA connection to your GPS. If you go to the end of the article it shows the menu with the trim adjustment. It also says that it may be easier...

    GW 223 Livewell Draining?

    If the water was not in the well before you ran the boat, you probably have an open seacock to the live well. Even though you never ran the pump the forward motion of the boat allows water to flow in through the seacock and pump to the live well. Shut that valve after each use and the well will...

    NE Boat Show

    I don’t get the shift away from walk arounds and expresses. The bright side if current owners wanting to sell there are plenty of buyers willing to pay good prices for boats in good shape

    Opinion on Sailfish 282 From Owners?

    The Sailfish is a great boat and it can handle a lot more seas than most of us would ever want to be out in. This is my 3rd GW. First was a Seafarer which was a big step up over my 19 foot Mako. the second one was a Gulfstream and that was a big step up over the Seafarer and in turn the Sailfish...

    Confusing Leak in Cabin of '95 Sailfish 272

    One other place to check is the railings and hardtop mounts. My hardtop mounts needed to be resealed once. We had the same wet areas as you and it turned out the water was leaking at the mounts and then running across the ceiling liner and then dripping down. it is a tough one to get conclusive...

    Porta Potty

    I had it happen to me on a Gulfstream - replaced the macerator with a brand new one and still no pumping. I took every hose apart and inspected and there were no issues. After trouble shooting every possible avenue came to the conclusion that I must have a faulty new macerator. Took it back to...

    Is a used GW with HPDI engines worth it.

    The HPDI 200 was and is a great engine - there were issue with one of the HPDIs, I think it was the 300.

    New arm rest covers for helm seats

    Here is the link to an EBAY site that sells them. They are good replacements but they are not cheap. They cost $165 per chair. I bought the same parts from my GW dealer a few years back and they cost about the same, they have held up well and are easy to clean...

    New Owner here, saying hello

    Hi and welcome - great boat! I have twin 250's and I bought a splitter valve and attached a couple of piece of three foot hoses. The splitter has an on/off valve for each hose which makes it easy when connecting and disconnecting. All the part are readily available at any hardware store. I'm...
