Cleanest bilge around!

Yes, enviro friendly... I have an emergency pump and switch mounted 5" higher in the rear bilge with an alarm at the helm. 5 years old, only runs when testing the switch, so not replacing that one. The second one goes up front under the V-Berth. That one actually trips the breaker after 5...

I will still use a fuse... I have been known to pull it to clean the bilge. We put about 50 gallons of water in the bilge from the fresh water tank when we are near the marina, and dump some bilge cleaner in and let it all slosh around. Then pop the fuse back in when in the no-wake zone and...

Oh, a question: The old pump was wired directly to the house battery with an inline fuse. Should I replicate that with new wire, or wire it to the back (hot side) of the battery switches?

Well, I got the old one out. With some sort of contortions, I could barely touch the top of the pump. Getting the hose off was the easy part, I had a hose taker offer tool for that. Using a long handled pair of pliers gripping a small screwdriver, a mIrror and flashlight, I couldn't get what...

Thanks! If it is not the right one, I can make it work... Ordered!

Update: Here is a photo from above, and another showing the access under the rear bench seat for those not familiar with the 282 SailFish. I cannot even touch the pump or switch. I am a big dude, 6'1" so I have some reach, but I am too big to get my shoulders down in the bilge access to reach...

I need to replace the stern bilge pump and switch in my 04 282 Sailfish. I know how to wire it up. The problem is, I cannot physically reach the pump and switch! What is the trick?

I hate when I cannot find what I need for my 04 282 Sailfish... This fitting that the wiper arm hose connects to is broken off. Does anybody have any idea for a part number, hyperlink, or anything to find a replacement, or even a suitable substitute?

Does anybody know if the original battery charger wire/circuit is ground fault protected? I don't want to cut and hard wire my new charger because it voids the 3 year warranty. I'm planning a ground fault outlet tucked up under the gunnel to get the connection out of the bilge. Any recommended...

I am going to do that. For now, I got the old one out and put in a NOCO genius GenPro 10x3, and ran separate leads to each battery. The plug in chord is snaked outside through the under gunnel hole and plugged in to an extension chord. The GF outlet will have to be another day... The...

Some Grady Whites doing Grady White stuff.

Hate to dredge up an old thread, but found that I am having the exact same issue on the same year 282 SF... What did you learn about the 120 chord? Was it plugged into a GF outlet somewhere? I heard same as you that was they way it should be wired. Also, what charger did you go with, and...

Wow. I didn't get any documentation with it. I watched this video and thought it had side scan, but after re-watching it, I see they quickly showed another unit that did have side scan running... Oh well, still going to serve as backup to older Furuno machine...

Thanks!

Yes, Furuno is primary. This is a backup machine I won @ a fishing expo. I have never had side scan & chirp before, so I put it on... I do fish some bridges.

Can anybody identify this transducer? I need to find a new bracket. This one had a rather unfortunate interaction with the First Mate's buffer... It came with a Raymarine Dragonfly 7. Any help would be appreciated.

I ja I have that hitch for my heavier trailers. I don't see how it will work, 3 reasons. Single beam layout of boat trailers is not compatible. The friction of the sway bars will inhibit your surge breaks. Finally, I have seen these things break the frame on trailers. I would never put...

Good advice above. We have a drive-thru lift at the Cape Coral, FL house. We drive in bow first on one end, and when prepping to leave we walk it out and tie up ahead of the lift so there is no chance of lower unit or lift damage... Since you are building, here is some food for thought: Build...

I need a set too; update if a source is found...
