    Dash conversion, Sailfish 272

    I just did 2 10 inch Garmins and they barely fit. I opted not to cut any fiberglass. They are mounted on black acrylic and are much easier to see and control mounted forward. 28 Sailfish not the 27 but they are probably similar.

    Test drove a gulfstream today - carumba

    The hull is the SeaV hul, era. so it should handle 2-3 footers but speed and trim and tabs are all factors that you need to experiment with it. It is a very capable boat , however, it is a 23 footer and it will take a certain amount of pounding in 3 foot seas.

    marine head wont fill with water on Freedom 235

    The older GW models do not use fresh water not sure about the newer models - I am guessing your thru hull head inlet valve is in the off position . once that is open the pump should self prime. The wash down and live wells also have thru hulls with on and off valves. Good luck.

    Refrigerator...

    The older fiig just ran off the battery - it you had shore power the battery chargers would just keep the batteriies charged. The new version switches to shore power as soon as the boat is connected to shore power and back to battery as soon as the boat is disconnected - I had to add and outlet...

    Are wing windows interchangeable?

    I had one replace last yeanr and they drilled the hole but also cut a straight hole straight to the edge of the glass. They said it does not in any way weaken the window and it protects it from breaking when drilling the hole. This w.as made of tempered glass. Seems to work fine a year later
