Also have a 282 and looking to install a 90 in Garmin. Any pictures and advice you can share?

I would start with bleeding the air out of the steering system. If you have a mechanic have him do it with the seastar purge kit.

transom and stringers were done prior to my ownership in 2012. Sold the boat in august and everything was still solid.

My 86 sailfish was 125 gallon main and 75 glallon aux. Main tank being forward.

I installed the 87 in 36volt on my 1986 sailfish. It worked fine . Occasionally came out of the water in 3 to 4 ft swells.

I installed the 84 in 36 volt on my 86 Sailfish. Only came off anchor mode a few times in 3 seasons due to big swells. Pretty happy with performance in high current .
