Hey guys, I had good luck with replacing my gas shock arms for 2001 Sailfish 282 hatches through Go2Marine.com . I ordered the 20 lb stainless steel arms first - not strong enough. Returned for 40 lb. These appear to be exactly like my OEM arms. http://www.go2marine.com 1-800-998-9508...

Y'all, I have a 2001 282 Sailfish and my cabin lights all stopped working out of the blue. Everything else in the cabin works: reefer, outlets, electric head, etc. But the courtesy lights down there don't. The ones I am referring to are: a courtesy light in the head, one in the berth under the...

Y'all, I have a 2001 282 Sailfish and my cabin lights all stopped working out of the blue. Everything else in the cabin works: reefer, outlets, electric head. But the lights down there don't. All electrical lights, etc. outside of the cabin work 4.0. I have checked the fuzes under the helm...

Fellow Grady Owners, I have a 2001 GW Sailfish 282 and under the starboard gunwale next to the galvanic isolator and the associated CB switch their is a receptacle for a 3-pronged plug. I am not referring to the shore power receptacle even though this looks very similar. Does anybody know...

Salinity Now, I am a Naval Aviator (Hornet baby) living in the New Orleans area. I own a 282 and am from North Carolina oringinally where there are a bunch of GW's to say the least. Send me a PM and I will be glad to give you the gouge on any question you have regarding the 282. I believe it...

Just to close this issue out for purposes of anyone searching the site looking for answers... My problem turned out to be (embarrassingly) the easiest answer of all. After taking the windlass apart and then reassembling I decided to tighten the nut on the outside of the capstan/gypsy. I was...

Just to close this out for purposes of completeness: My problem turned out to be a loose connection at the bus. Thanks to all who offered suggestions and advice! Buck

Could you send me the number of the place you called and used? Or did you mean "Powerwinch" is another brand?

Grady Owners, Due to an emergency situation that resulted in a person operating my windlass who was unfamiliar with its limitations, my windlass has been damaged. It still functions both up and down, but will not hold tension on the rode once the anchor is snug on the bowsprit. I have...

Okay. I have a fridge that is 12v only. It functioned all day once in calm seas while did ran out at speed and trolled in calm seas. This time, the fridge alarm came on while we were running with 4000 rpm a side. The only difference is the waves. Wonder if that hurt the compressor? I have...

Thanks for the hint Tim. But what fuze? Is it located behind the fridge? I have checked the circuit breakers at the battery panel but they are all good. Besides, no other electrical equipment is giving me trouble. Buck

Grady Owners, I have a 2001 Sailfish with a reefer in the cabin that has totally stopped working after a recent trip. On that trip I made a long run from the mouth of the Mississippi River to some floating oil rigs 50 miles offshore through some pretty high sea states. I had the reefer on...
