Hey guys, I have am issue with my motor, It was backfiring and stalling. the timing clearly was off, but we also had a fuel line issue because there was no fuel coming out the fuel lines when i test. The spark plugs were extremly fouled Work I have done so far, I changed the fuel pump (not the...

Whats up guys I have a 282 Sailfish and I am looking for those folding rod holders some models have in the cabin. They fold away when not being used. Does anybody have a set they might want to sell ? Or know where I can get a set ? -Bob G

The thing is I would like to make this De humidifier more of a permanent installation in the boat. I think on top of the stove so it drains to the sink would be a bit in the way. Also that may have to be removed every time we leave dock.

I might try something like this, but I'm nervous about leaving it on during the really moist hot summer months. Possible fire hazard?

What's up guys. I keep my 2002 282 Sailfish on a lift in the Florida Keys and having a difficult time dealing with the insane moisture levels in the cabin of the boat which I know is causing a tremendous amount of pre mature wear and aging. the boaat often sits for months in this very high...
