Here is the final resting place have to take some Yammie control hub and other wires out of the way to drill and cut the hole. Once installed everything could go back to original locations. Bought tee fittings off the back of helm pump and they clear just perfectly. Reused right angle fo the...

Have a 2006 282 with 2 F225 and those work fine. I would say 150s is under powered and would be an issue in rough seas.

Thanks

Installing autopilot and below are stering hose bends. I feel they look ok but wanted to pass by others in case I am wrong.

Location that is best is here. Had to move a Yamaha hub but that is it. Will post finals.

I link this idea as a first step. Look at the base of the board to your right foot on the helm. The one you would take out to access the speaker and I guarantee it is having the same issue. If not it will and I would seal that one too.

So I got the autopilot today and the control head locations are slim. I could get a nav pod and possible get some additional locations. Only place left with enough room is the flat area below the switches. I have seen others mount them flat like this mainly on sailboats so it must be ok water...

I was looking at it today and thinking no way the tee fitting will have room on the back of the helm. I will have to wait til they come in to test fit it. I never even considered mounting it there but you are right the room is there for it.

I was thinking of installing it below deck in the access hatch starboard under the helm. Easy access to bring hydraulic lines down and up. Only concern I had was how far away it would be from the cylinder. If you have additional pics of your install that would be great.

I am looking at adding a Raymarine Autopilot to my 282 Sailfish. The logical and easiest place to locate the steering pump and ACU would be in the hatch in the mid berth right below the helm. It would be dry and has good amount of room. I would probably put the ACU in this location too. Also...

I just had aj do mine. You send them the old make any change notes and $3200 later they were on my door step. Had a local guy do the final fitment. Went white with strata glass. Local guy said they used a lower thickness then 40mm which he recommends for strata. It does seem fine to me. On...

I used some Poly-Planar MA9020 2-Way Gunwale Mount Speakers speakers and they have been great. Even tied them off the other speaker so di not have to run new home runs. The sound great for my needs and was a 3 hour project max.

These are approaching 15 years old (2006 282 Sailfish) and I feel like it is time to replace them but only one I can easily find is a 50 AMP one from Blue Sea. Have searched and cannot find a 10 AMP or 4 AMP. Thoughts from guys on when to replace these. I could just take them out and clean...

Someone said there may exist a Grady junkyard somewhere in FL or down south where you can go get used parts. Anyone know of such a place? Google did not yield me any meaningful results.

I do not have anything that would help for a template. It would not help even on the same model because things can be off a bit. Also it is easy to template and build it. The Outriggers holes were done and all that mocked up dry first. Then I built the plate. All I used was a piece of alum...
