Thanks for the responses guys. I haven’t seen the pump when looking through the access panels in the cuddy. I will try looking in the Aft today. What would you recommend resealing the deck cover with?

Anybody out there?

One other question. I was unable to locate the AutoPilot pump. I even pulled the Deck cover and only saw gas tanks. Where would I look for the pump and what do the pros typically use in the way of silicone/caulk to seal up the cover when replacing?

Ok guys, I made it to the boat today and pulled all the panels to see what was installed by the previous owner. I have a Garmin 4210 MFD with Garmin sonar and Radar attached. I have a Raymarine ST5000+ installed with a ray marine Heading Sensor installed and connected. There is no connection...

Thanks for your help guys. I will get down to the boat this weekend to investigate a little more. I just ordered a new Raymarine M81190 and will install it to try to eliminate the problem. Thanks again.

Happy New Year Guys, I need some help in solving a problem with my 2001 282 Sailfish. It was equipped by the previous owner with a Garmin 4210 Chartplotter and a Raymarine Autopilot ST6001+ . I am still trying to gain some knowledge as to how all this stuff works. Ever since I acquired the...

Thank you for all your help and advice.. I have only owned this boat for approximately 1 year and it is being kept in dry dock 1 state away. I absolutely love the boat but have not had much time to spend investigating the inner workings of it like my previous vessels. All time on board so far...

The Large floor panel in the middle of the deck.

Have you ever pulled the hatch from the deck? If so, how difficult was the process to remove and reseal?

Well it’s time for me to replace my in tank Groco macerator pump and I would like to convert it to an external pump design. Can someone help me find some pictures and a description of this process on a Sailfish. Also, I am assuming that I will need to remove the hatch on deck to allow for...

Max, Just curious what the purpose of the Y valve is? Do you have to switch the valve to allow for pump out of the tank? If so, I imagine that you have to pull your hatch each time you pump out. It’s been a while since this post was made.. has this setup given you any problems? My 282...

I remember seeing the switch that had Main/Auxillary. Thanks, I will try it the next time we make a trip to the gulf. I have the yamaha 200hp HPDIs with the Yamaha gauges. The boat is kept dry docked at a marina that has Ethanol Free gas so thats what I will be using. I currently use ring...

so how do i toggle between the primary and auxiliary tanks on the yamaha fuel management gauge to monitor fuel levels of each tank?

I am new to the Saltwater boat world and my wife and I just purchased a 2001 grady white 282 sailfish. We were out on the water for the first time last weekend and i realized that I didn't know how to mechanically switch between the primary and auxiliary fuel tanks. Also, I am not sure how to...
