I can't offer much help on the type of hose, I went to the marina's parts counter and told them what i was doing and he gave me the hose that they used for rigging livewells. i did find that the factory hose makes a sharp turn towards the centerline of the boat at the stern under the storage bin...

Luckydude, I'll take a look at the 185 HW as well.

Skunk, great information on the size differences , very much appreciated. The E 127 is the generation before the axiom series that are current. I think my unit is 2014 ish, the sounder module that is internal is for non chirp, basic transducers and is 600watt. For anything more demanding id have...

My transducer has been gving me fits all season. Recently i was on the phone with Raymarine customer support and we workex through a bunch of settings changes ad system resets all while i was sending pictures to the tech so he could see what i was seeing. The net results was my transducer is...

I have a 282 sailfish and at some point the hose for the shower in the head has been replaced with a shorter hose. You cant pull it out far enough to hang it on the hook to use it as intended. Other than going through Grady does anyone know of a source for a full length replacement to get mine...

I might as well share a picture of the finished product. I used a Moeller flanging tool to install the tubes, i left the tubes about 3/16" proud of the transom face and the tool rolled a perfect round face on the bit that was sticking out of the hole. A quick clean up and it was as good as new.

I got the tubes installed today, the old ones came out with out too much of a fight, I found nice solid dry wood inside which was a very welcome sight. The install was straight forward and came out very nice. 2-1/2 hours from start to finish. The boat is finally ready and is going to get...

you are correct, i need 1-1/4" tubes. finished length is 3-1/2" . No one had them anywhere in Portland so i had to order them. the boatyard will allegedly have them tomorrow morning and as a bonus one of the techs is going to loan me his flanging tool! hopefully this is going to be it, and i can...

So i thought i was finally finished with my pre launch chores on my 282 sailfish. Its been one delay after another this season. Anyway i was cleaning the boat up and prepping for her to go in on Monday when i scrubbed a piece of the flared end of the splash well drain tube off. I was thinking...

if this arm is adjustable for length , thats why I'm confident i can make it work on my Sailfish.

I had already committed to buy the wiper arm......

I'll take it, I'm pretty sure i can make it work on my boat. Can you estimate shipping to me in New Hampshire and let me know a total cost?

one last project I'd like to get knocked out on my boat is re bedding the cleats. The port forward cleat just aft of the anchor pulpit would be the first one i go after. Are the nuts on the underside held in place somehow or am i going to need to remove some of the material on the inside of the...

I did not take any pictures, i was working solo and had plenty to keep me busy, i never thought to take any photos.

to close this out for anyone who may stumble upon this thread in the future the access to the inlet connection to the live well is from the mid berth. If you remove the panel on the aft bulkhead for the mid berth you access the sewage holding tank and the inlet to the livewell is easily reached...
