    Fuel Filter Change - Priming

    It is a '92 model. Not sure how hard it would be to get to the fill lines, but that is a good point. Guess when I start that project, will dig into to see if they are accessable. Pull up the floor plate but not sure how hard to get over to the side to pull it through. It has twin filters in...

    Fuel Filter Change - Priming

    Gotcha. Was basing that on the Performance Bulletins on the Yamaha Website. Boats with Twin's in that class of motors were pretty consistent at WOT with just over 40 gph consumption. I am guessing the 200 HPDI's are somewhere in between these 2 tests, but more near the 225's than the 150's. It...

    Sailfish Model Windlass Install Photo's?

    Nice! Do you have any stacking issues or does the 8 plait lay down without hassle? Asking more on that since it seems the more forward the windlass is installed the more stacking issues based upon what some others mentioned. I do like the ease of install at the back end of the pulpit so I can...

    Sailfish Model Windlass Install Photo's?

    Thanks for the pics! That is not a bad look compared to some I have seen. So in this setup, you have no way to open the hatch beside of the unit to clear a jamb right? DId you just put in screws or through bolts? It seems that since you put hinges on and I see the latch that it can be opened...

    Floor Panel Seal

    Cool, I did get the Painters tape and a plastic scraper to level the caulk. If the scraper does not work, back to the finger! Thanks!

    Fuel Filter Change - Priming

    All good and valid points! I ordered the heads that come with filters for now. I figured out the original owner has 25 micro filters on it! Geez! So going to 10 will be a good thing, but after I clear the budget, will spend the additional to add the 2 Micron's with bowls. That will be another...

    Fuel Filter Change - Priming

    Hi folks, getting ready to change my fuel filters. Ordered the SS heads and Yamaha 10 micron filter kit from SIM. Question I have is this: Since there are no Primer bulbs on this setup for the Yamaha 200 HPDI on my 25 Grady Sailfish, I am unclear how I will prime/fill the filters. The...

    Cabin Rod Holder Rubber Bands

    I did find those on Ebay also. $24 is not horrible, but not great. Also not sure how old those are and as they are rubber, likelly they won't last a year. Starting to think along the lines of the surgical tubing. I found some yesterday in Ace, but it was a very large diameter. I think if I could...

    Auxilary Fuel switch?

    Ok, after talking to Customer Service, they ensured me to look in Port rear hatch on transom and it had to be there unless someone modified it. So, I looked in the hatch, and found several fuel lines running from under the batteries up the side wall and then disappeared under what appeared to be...

    Floor Panel Seal

    What is the correct sealant to use for the floor panels? I need to remove the one down in the cabin this weekend to replace the bilge float switch. It is currently sealed in with clear silicone. The one's on the deck are some type of white sealant. Is 4200 the correct caulking or should I just...

    Wiper Blade Replacement Help

    My SS wiper arm had Anco stamped on it. Went to NAPA Walker and they had a truck blade but it did not quite lock in the tab. Went to Car Quest and they ordered part number 752-200. It was the same blade as NAPA so I decided to cut the tab on my wiper arm to fit the blade. Came out perfect and...

    Synthetic teak flooring

    Is that a one piece made to fit? How did they do the corners like that? Looks like a factory job!

    Sailfish Model Windlass Install Photo's?

    Anyone have any photos of your Sailfish with windlass layout? Have been searching for some photo to see how the install works on this model boat. Assume all 25' and 27' Sailfish models are the same in regards to the bow pulpit and anchor locker setup. I have found a couple of photo's that...

    Cabin Rod Holder Rubber Bands

    Hi folks, I did some searching and didn't find a thing on this. Looking for a source to get those rubber bands....maybe called something else and why I can't find them that are used on the cabin rod holders. They are round with a tab that you pull on to lock down the rods so they don't...

    Auxilary Fuel switch?

    Ok, thanks for the inputs. Logically it should be where you say, but so far, not found. Whoever repowered must have done something, so am concerned even Grady might not know, but I will get their number and give them a call. I sent them an Email, but not heard back yet.

    Auxilary Fuel switch?

    Well, I spent the entire day cleaning up the Grady and crawled through every crack, crevice and panel that I could and never did find any switch for the fuel tanks. I traced the lines coming out from under the deck to the motors and there was no switch in that path. Looked up under some panels...

    Auxilary Fuel switch?

    Hi folks, took possession of my 92 Grady 25 Sailfish today. What a ride in the snot! Holiday weekend and the water was nasty and she was unreal! Question for today is how do I find the manual switch to change and use fuel from the Auxilary fuel tank vs the Main tank? The Sales guy that got me...

    25 Sportbridge Outriggers

    Thanks Gary M.....good to hear and along line of what I have been hearing also. What happens when there is a problem on the oil reservoir pump? Does engine shut down or go to safe mode?
