How many RPMs should I expect with a WOT. I used to get 6,000 from a 225 on a Gulfstream. I now get 5,500 on a 282 Sailfish with twin 225. I am not sure if this is by design or if I may have wrong props. The boat goes plenty fast at 5,500. I am just lokking to optimize the power for fuel...

I had an 85 Seafarer and went to a Gulfstream. Hands down the Gulfstream wins in every aspect. Smoother, drier more stable. Not a fair comparisson - even though the Giulfstream is a foot bigger it feels lit 5 feet bigger because of the beam. I recently went to a 282 Sailfish and I can say the...

My first GW was an 86 Seafareer and it had an aluminum tank. I know the new owner and it is still theorignal tank today. good as new.

Captain - check out this article on the 241. The original boat came with a 93 gallon fuel tank. Sounds like the previous owner replaced the single tank with two small ones. Can you see if they are connected to each other. My guess is they could not find a 93 and just put 2 stock tanks in the...

Not sure what size the 94 Sailfish was but mine is a 2004 282 and it is classified as a yacht. The capacity plates are only placed on boats under 26 feet. The Yacht designation plate is where the capacity plate is on smaller boats under the helm. It basically means the load and capacity is up...

Yea - They liook great in the showroom or boat show - then its ding city

No - I was close to mey dealer and just showed them the what i needed. It was probably labeled but I did not notice it. They did say it was fairly common for that switch to blow. Mine actually blew out while it was on. The lights were working and they just faded away and the switch was just frozen.

New to me 2004 boat Under the aft sleeping area there is what appears to be a storage area, however just noticed that there is a small amount of water in it. I also noticed that the cabin floor drains empty directly into this area. Is this by design or should those drains have a hose leading...

Just did this repair on my Salifish Saturday. I believe it iis the same ligh fixture. They are though bolted - radio box to the light. The first thing you need to do is pop off the clear plastic dome. It is on pretty snuggly. I used a couple of this srew drivers to pop it off, be careful not to...

Does anyone know if you use head lube with electric models too. So I understand, when you flush the head lube it will lubricate the parts when the tank is emptied or does the maceration take part during the flushing cycle. Unfortunately my boat did not come with any manuals. I am replacing most...

What is head lube? how is it used?

Thaks - its always nice to heat a cheap fix. As you are all aware it is a term not often used in the baoting world!!

awc4kds Thanks - Mine is an 04 and it sounds by your description that the stem that scerw into the node snapped off. I will probably have to order the node and stem to get back in business - Thanks for reply

Most dealers have a glass shop they work with. I had some minor repairs done this past winter and they are impossible to detect even if you lokk closely for them. a perfect match - something for the pros if you want it perfect

The rubber hose that runs to the windshield wiper on my boat is not connected to the the node that comes out of the hull. There appears to be a stem that was connected to the hose broken off. Has anyone replace one of these. Does it sound like I have to replace the node? not sure how it is...

I've seen them at GW dealers too.

I had one and Grady White and the dealer both advised against it. Too much weight. I went with an HPDI and never regretted it.

Checked with the dealer on the 2 valves on the Sailfish. One if the saltwater intake for the marine head the other is the outflow valve for the holding tank.

There is a very nice 2000 Marlin at Bayside Marine for 73,000- just lowered the price 10K. I was debating buying it and doing the repower to four strokes but ended up going with a 2004 Sailfish.

I will probalby cut down on off shore trips and anchor more. at least we will be on the water. One way to bring down the price of oil from our OPEC friends is to cease all military arms shipments to them. Someone gave me an interesting analogy today. They said this might be the the new...
