Hi - have a2004 Sailfish and the curtains are just mounted on an aluminum slide. I was recently thinking of getting some new ones as they are getting worn. When seeing how they come off it appears the hooks that go into the aluminum slider and hold the curtains are actually sewn into the...

Yeah - the current and wind combo is a killer on most days

I am one that believes there is no dumb question - if it is asked it must be important to someone. I have been boating for years and certainly know more now than I did 30 years ago. If I am happy toy share any of my learning experiences I have been on and have left other sights because of a...

Has anyone had a bow thruster added to a Sailfish. Was curious if it is possible to add one and what the cost was and most importantly are you happy with the functionality. Thanks Mark

I use mine all time - we are on shore powere in a slip - It is convenient and keeps things really cold - I have drifted for hours without a battery issue - One time I had live well and frig going and I had a slow crank - Just in case usually have my honda generator as a backup to charge em up

Luckily I have never had to come in on one engine but out of curiosity I have tried running on one engine on my Sailfish with twin F225s for a minute - One will not get me up on a plane and it does put a lot of strain on the single engine - as mentioned earlier if you need to run on one go at a...

I can't believe Yamaha is being so short sighted about this issue - We all know that these engines cost 20K+ and many of us are running twins - as Slacktime responded " I would be happy with ten bucks" - you would think they would be concerned with losing the next 40K repower and offer a token...

That is amazing. If running at a good speed creates enough suction the empty the tank then what's the point of the pump? Either way you have to be 3 miles out. Do you think it creates enough suction to remove paper (only marine head paper of course) because my tank was pretty dry and I really...

No experience with that boat -,but the older boat transoms were not designed for the 4 stroke weight nor the torque A good reliable solution is to repower with the Yamaha 200 HPDI. Great engine , quiet, fuel efficent, quit and very reliable. I have 4 strokes now but had an HPDI and I rate it...

I have found the same as Roberth stated - I was getting odors from the tank even though I was using a deoderant - what was happening was the same as mentioned above - at high speed it would get drained and then when you used it at the dock the tank was empty with no deoderizer - also I believe...

Mine Sailfish has two wires running to two batteries - one battery charges alone and there are two batteries that are linked together and the second charging wire takes care of both of them -

Looks great. My first GW had lots of teak and I used to use the Siekens on it too - it looks better than oil and last a couple of seasons with some minor touch ups . Like the cooler idea too Have a ball Mark

In case anyone ever does this project here is what I found 1 - remove old stripe using a hair dryer. Mine had 3 stripes and the 6 feet I was repairing came right off 2 - used acetone to clean and remove old glue and wax 3 - start to peel off the backing and apply the stripe overlapping the...

I had / have similar issue with ghosting where the surrounding gel coat faded. Found that multiple compounding and several high quality coats of wax helped to blend it in. Each spring I can still see the old name re-emerge and I do the same process. Each year it fades a little bit so I can...

I need to replace a couple of feet of pin stripe . Got the exact pin stripe from the dealer. The parts person said that the stripe has a backside and topside that peels of the stripe. He said it was a PIA to get the top layer off. Anyone have any tips or technigues. Thanks in advance

My marina opens May 1. Hope to get in a few days early on Sunday April 28 weather permitting. It's been to cold and rainy for waxing and bottom paint so far this spring.

I have a Honda on my Sailfish. It connects to the shore power by using an adaptor that connect from your ca ble and plugs into the generator. The Honda costs more but I ha ve found it to be extremely reliable and very quiet. I bring it home during hurricanes and noreasters and it has kept me in...

I have twin F225 and it has a single piston - just had to replace the seals on the piston - other than that works great
