    Macerator location on 01 sailfish 282

    This is what I installed leaving the unserviceable Groco in place inside the tank. Limiting factors are: The threaded access port I used to put in the pickup is a 1-1/2" thread so my pick up tube is only 1" where the pump is built for 1-1/2" (what you can see is all 1-1/2").

    Battery replacement on Sailfish 282

    How do I identify the fuses on my 2002 282 Sailfish?

    Window Wiper Spring

    I just replaced the springs on my 2002 282 Sailfish. Of course I live where there are local providers of all things obscure and esoteric. I did not need to remove the arms which are bonded to the wiper motors with 20+years of aluminum oxide.
