    282 Sail Fish Registration

    I have a question for any 282 Sailfish owners. What is the boat length listed on your registration? The reason I ask is because i am thinking about moving up to one. But my wife likes the dock we are on and I can only go up to a 28' boat. The marina gives you a slip by what is listed on the...

    motor won't tilt up

    This had happen to me. There are two relays on the motor for the tilt and trim. They are black and one of them has gone bad. To find out which one is bad swap them and push the tilt button. They both work in either direction depending on which side of the tilt they are on.

    Eisenglass

    Try using Plexus it does a good job of cleaning the plastic. My friends eisenglass was cloudy and with a little elbow grease it cleaned it up. Good Luck

    minimum hp for GW 19' tournament

    I had an 89 tournament with a 150hp Johnson. I cruised at 30mph and had power to spare. 115hp is not enough power for the boat. Lenny

    Advise Needed

    I use to keep my tanks full. Until my tank leaked 60 gallons of fuel out of the drain hole one cold January day. What a mess.... I have only kept about 10 gallons of fuel in the tanks since then. I add stabile and have not had any problems. Everyone has their own opinion. Do what you...

    Trick to removing Barnicales?

    Those little critters are hard to get off when they are alive. Power washing will not do the job. If you wait about a week or 2 they will die and dry out. When that happens you can just scrape them off. Have fun, Lenny

    Winterizing Seafarer 228 Plunbing

    Bob, Drain all the water by turning on your faucet until there is no more water coming out. Then go to the cockpit shower and do the same. Add the pink antifreeze to the water tank and turn on the faucet in the cabin until the pink antifreeze comes out. Then do the same for the cockpit...

    The 2006c has depth finder/fish finder capabilites, you need to install a sounding unit and transducer. As far as the lines for fish finding you need to go into the setup pages and click on sounder. you can change the settings there. Lenny

    motor surging

    I was bringing the boat to the mechanic on sat. I was able to get the engine up to 5200rpms. I brought it back to 3500rpms and then back up to 5200. I did this 5 or 6 times and it ran fine. Except for changing the vst filter I have no clue as to why it is ok now. Maybe a blockage.... I asked...
