I'd be concerned that the "message" that you're getting originates from the computer unit, typically a J300x or J3000x box, and isn't a symptom of just the head unit at all. I also have an AP11, and have the more common "power/mode/standby" button is toast or needs service. Best of luck! Bob.

http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23664 Just installed this pump this spring, pictures at the thread above. While it's not self priming, it's very durable, and just a little bit of forward way is required with the seacock open to force prime the pump. If you've ever run with...

Congrats on the boat Mangler, hope it serves you for many years!

I think my point was that boat owners who aren't blessed with full time access to fresh water need not avoid boat ownership or Yamaha outboards entirely, due to inability to flush each and every use. Flushing when possible is a good practice. If I were on a dock full time, it would get flushed...

Not flushing <<<<<<< Flushing occasionally/when possible <<<<<<<<< Flushing every use Our Sailfish 282 is on a mooring, and we flush a few times a season when the motors are hot and we end up on a dock with access to fresh water at good pressure. Flushing every use is the lawyers talking, but...

I had a similar issue when I commissioned this spring. First you need a really quiet boat and a full water tank. IF when you first turn the pressure water system switch on, the pump comes on and stays on, you either have a disconnected hose, the hot water purge valve is open, a faucet is open...

2002 282, into our second season, twin 225hp. Boat is plenty powered up without the 250hp option, and strikes a great balance of size/maintenance with fishability and range with 2-5 passengers. Out of Newport we haven't gone farther than the radius to Block Island and Cuttyhunk, but like...

I think the website detail predominantly means "new" boats. Our boat, 2002 282, also does not have auto retract trim tabs. I'd bet that's 2005-06-ish and newer, only.

Are you getting the heavy rolling action just when someone's up there at the second helm, or even without a person up top? In any case, I'd say that a 272/282 sailfish with 2 people just in the standard helm/copilot seats can roll a decent amount in a quartering or beam sea. But so far never...

BJ, If you can get an accurate look of the color of the wires, I'd recommend consulting the owners manual for your boat and year that you can download from the Grady White site. Typically the wiring color can give you a pretty close guess as why they might be there. For example on my boat we...

So I still don't have a photo from my boat, but Medic is correct, my boat also has a caulking line in each corner of the splash well. HOWEVER, there is no corner bracket over the top of the metal cap, as there is in your photo, and there are NO stress cracks in the gelcoat running down under...

You'll need to pull the screws from around the edge of the rectangular floor panel, and remove this panel in order to inspect the sump and clean the filter. This small shower sump pan is separate from the bilge, but does have it's own float switch and pump, which discharges directly overboard.

As a 282 owner I'll jump in with a series of clarifying questions that the more experienced members here are going to ask to understand the situation: - which power option is on the boat? (F225 or F250?) - how many hours? - is the crack/corner tab also evident on the port side of the...

Our 282 came with some hideous and fractured multi-layer bottom paint, and while we'll never go to a lift, I can share some insight. You CAN go back to gelcoat, but the abrasion process typically means that you won't be able to recover the bottom gelcoat to "new shiny" below the waterline...

2002 282, just replaced the plastic livewell pump that most GW of that era had mounted directly to the sea cock. Last week I cleaned out the tackle tray that fits under the aft bench seat, directly over where the old pump was mounted. The plastic livewell pump had quit at the end of last year...

Sailflow, and then you get to stack up sea-state forecasts with wind condition, temperature, and precipitation. Nice to be able to look at multiple forecast models and tide timing across your target fishing area.

Welcome to the party Mac! Boat looks like it'll clean up well. Little bit of bottom paint and you should be good to get back in the water! Bob.

Re: Taking a Sea-Trial Tomorrow - Anyone wanna help the new Yeah, what Fishtales said, a surveyor has experience, tools, and skill that you won't be able to replace. But in the absence of that, make sure you open every compartment or deck plate, operate every switch and valve, and if you...

The whole process was $38 for the template kit (with two sheets of mylar), and then $419 total for the digitizing, drawing/draft, material, and their cnc cutting service and shipping to my home address. Expensive? Dunno yet, but inside the cabin I'm going to amortize that over 5 years and call...

Couple of recent threads on this topic. With the size of the Marlin's live well, I'd strongly recommend going the bulkhead mounting route, and also consider up-sizing the wiring and fuse along with the larger pump head. More than a few members have pointed out the downside of sticking to the...
