I'm asking about the very top row, there are no corresponding switches, my electronics guy hasn't taken it part and feels like they must go to something. I've never had one pop to identify anything, probably a good thing.

Does anyone know what the top row of breakers is for? The rest seems pretty simple. I am doing a new panel with new wire marine and they suggested adding another block somewhere. Where? I don’t know, as there isn’t a ton of space. It looks like crap and the switches themselves aren’t reliable...

nice, thank you. that's my plan as well if this coating thing doesn't work out. why i love this site. great information.

my hard top is the crappiest looking thing on my boat. the edges are all flaking. It really needs removed and re-glassed. ugh, a massive job. my other thought has been to sand down the peeling spots and seal the whole thing up with something like a Line-X. It would make it less of a death...

The guys at my marina managed it with no cutting, they moved the batteries out of the way and a guy crawled in there, unbelievable but i gotta hand it to them. They did give me a hard time on it afterwards because i only use them for the knuckle bleeding jobs. i said if it was easy one i'd do it...

I did not, the P.O. said it either was never installed or removed by the dealer way back when the boat was new. One of those things that is lost to time. 2002 282. Good call on the zip ties.

Looks very similar to the OEM platform that my old 228 had on it. Worked like a champ, and we never had a problem with deploying it while in the water, though I'm young and pretty agile, for now... The only issue I had ever had with it was the ladder bouncing off into the deployed position in...

I'll add one more thing, if you get boarded by the CG on the bay they will want to see that your overboard discharge is disabled. I don't even have one but i do have it prewired for one from the factory and there is even an indicator panel if one were installed. This really threw them through a...

Where are you at on on the bay? I am on the South River, i have a membership at a local place and get free pumpouts, it's a breeze. Manual head with holding tank, no discharge. Mine was configured this way from the dealer, tri-state, in Deale, MD. I had a porta pot on my last boat, those are...

Agreed. I am doing my brass drains right now, not a terrible job if you have a little bit of know how and are willing to take your time. I can say that about most jobs on these boats. My scupper hoses were turning to dust, they were replaced last year. Did the livewell and washdown hoses this...

Unfortunately I don’t think the zipper could go lower. Any higher and it would obscure my view while seated and any lower there prob isn’t enough material.

Congrats on the boat, i have a 2002 282. I've had her for several years now and have dealt with about every gremlin that exists on these boats. If you have any specific questions check on here, that's what i did, and there is a ton of information. If not, put it out there, or send me a PM. If...

Alright everyone, i spoke with Lee and my canvas is boxed up and out of my door, set to arrive in Vanceboro this Wednesday. Question for the group, has anyone done anything to address the visibility issues with the smiley zippers on the front 2 panels? I like being able to open them, it gets...

This seems like the route. How do they handle the fact that my stuff has definitely shrunk quite a bit? They have the patterns from a 282 since they were the original suppliers?

I decided to buy DB. I’ve primed and painted it. I was very very thorough. We will see when I can finally get the thing installed though. I’m currently in a bind unable to get the unit out. The bolts are made of glass and I already snapped one with about 2 pounds of pressure.

2002 hull I considered repowering to the Zuke DF250’s. Opted just to retain my F225s and make some repairs. The 225s are plenty IMO. She tops out at close to 45 and at that speed and it can get a little hairy. Plenty of bottom end. I’d have only done the 250s because, well, why not?

I am replacing the sides of my enclosure on my 282. The quote is for 1800. $450 of which is materials. They are only doing the sides, so that’s four panels in total. There are two panels per side. I never use the rear and the front is newer and in ok shape. Thoughts on that pricing? I am in...
