On my Sailfish I have three batteries; the #1 setting on the Guest Battery Selector is two batteries wired together in parallel and #2 is the third battery. The section in the GW manual (below) doesn't answer my question - under normal operation you set Port to #2 and Starboard to #1, so when...

What's going on...with the weather? It's chilly in Southern California, I launched last week and it was in the mid-50's.

That's a gorgeous part, but whew, $56 each!

Is there such a thing as cockpit drain covers that let water through but block everything else? Somehow cockpits attract leaves, so I have to cover my drains with 3M tape so they don't clog. Curious what other people do.

I'll start small, one line each, and the premium version appeals to me. Thank you all!

I checked the forums but couldn't find anything relevant. I have 19' Lee Outriggers with black cord, ancient hardware and some clear rings that look like glass. (I've never used outriggers before.) There are also old plastic rings about 1/2" wide that snap to the poles but they've long ago...

Cool mat - what are they for?

Perfect, thanks.

I just looked up mooring cover and all the photos show a complete cover; I'll contact A&J; do you happen to have a photo of yours?

Correct, I have a 2003. I wonder what the extra 100 hp gets you in speed...

I've contacted a couple of canvas cover manufacturers but they either carry full boat covers or T-top canvas, which I don't need. My Sailfish has a hard top, what I'm looking for is a canvas enclosure that mimics the plastic window panels, e.g. the canvas would attach under the hardtop, cover...

From what I've read, the Sailfish 282 accepts either 225's or 250's, 500 hp is the maximum for the boat.

Hello all, Eventually I'm going to repower my Sailfish with either two new F225's or two F250's; I know there's a lot of static on various forums, especially The Hull Truth, about Yamaha engines but I believe they're a sound design. Has anyone repowered recently with brand new Yamahas? Do...

Another issue to consider is any electronic items mounted to the hardtop, specifically radio antennas or GPS stuff. If you haven't already you should read Nigel Calder's chapter on this very subject, it's eye-opening. The book is available on Amazon and is called "Boat Owner's Mechanical and...

West Marine carries two kits, a Dual Digital Media Receiver (DMR) with 2 speakers and another model with 4 speakers. The larger one is listed for $145, you can probably find it online for less.

I'd like to be able to see the engine temperatures and oil pressure on my 2003 Yamaha 225 four strokes. Apparently Yamaha addressed this in 2005 with an upgrade to the wiring loom so you could connect the engines to an NMEA 2000 circuit. My Yamaha gauges just have a high temp alarm; other than...

I replaced mine, the chain looked suspect as I found rust on some of the links. I'm proud to say in a Sailfish 282 you can store 500' of 5/8" 8-plait in the anchor locker as well as 35' of 1/4" chain.

Hi, great first post! What do you mean by "in the area" - Europe or the U.S.? The Internet is your friend with this search, I imagine it would be far less expensive to find the boat you want in the EU.

Sometimes the best thing is to say, ok, no problem, I'll find one elsewhere. Sounds like there's a lack of communication between the people at the dealer.

Dennis, what I meant is - the 282 Sailfish comes with 12 switches in the standard configuration; if the buyer chooses the option package then the switch panel is upgraded to the 14 switch configuration, that's what I have. There is a list in the manual and I'll follow your suggestion to trace...
