Radar and AIS a must. I always run my radar overlay on the map. I would not leave the dock without it. Busy freighter lane in between the Channel Island and the fog gets super thick. It's really worth the comfort safety.

Hi Edw, I have the same boat, 2001. with the same motors. Let me know what you do. The biggest concern is weight and keeping the scupper plugs above the waterline. Some guys modify the scupper plug area to accommodate a larger motor

Did you have to pull the wires to prevent them from melting? I want to install some rod holders (welded). I was warned about melting issues.

Looks clean. Is the kicker motor connected to the main outboards (steering)? What kind of mount are you using? Thanks

Yes, I swapped the lines at the motor end of the bulbs. The fuel filter is properly secured. The motor doesn’t die. The rpms start to die down and drop to 1000 rpms. Full throttle and it stays at 1000 rpms. No difference if it’s running at 2000 rpms or 5000 rpms. But mainly does it at higher...

I replaced both of them. I really thought that was the problem. When I removed the old filters, they sure looked clean. Problem still persist. Randomly

I swapped the gas lines from motor to motor at the bulbs to confirm that it's not a fuel delivery issue. The problem was still with the same motor.

I'm having a similar issue. I have twin 2001, 200 yamaha 2 stroke with 550 hours on them. At high RPM's the port side engine would bog down to 1000 RPM's and appear to be starving for fuel. Even at full throttle there is no difference. I swapped the gas lines and the same problem was happening...

I was having the same issues. Check and see if any fluid is coming from the top of the shaft, coming out of the dust seal. I just rebuilt the tilt piston. No more oil slick and the motors raise and lower smoothly. Good luck

ICOM M506 with AIS Its a little over your budget. But so worth the money. With AIS connected to your head unit. You can track commercial boats. The fog gets thick out here. Just a little bit more insurance and safety.

Hi have two Yamaha 200 2 stroke. Same issues. As mentioned earlier. It's the VST filter. Losing RPM's at higher RPM's. The motors are starving for gas. Replace the Racor filter, the gas filter and the VST internal filter. Some models have 2 filters inside. Yamaha outboards have a Vapor...

My new 2001, 282 Sailfish. Delivered about a month ago from Florida to Ventura, California. Just installed dual TZtouch3 12" , SS260 transducer, NXT Radome, auto pilot Navpilot 300, AIS VHF radio, deck lights, transom lights, teak wood floors. anchor, 300' of rope and 50' of chain. In the...

Are you talking about welding rod holders on the aluminum tower of drilling fiberglass on the rail. Im doing both on my 282 up in Ventura now.

Is the kicker connected to the steering arm? Let's see some pictures of others custom fish cutting stations. And a pic of how did you mount the kicker? Thanks

Mine is just about 13' to the top of the radar. Subtract about a foot and your at the windshield.

Check out Newwiremarine.com. Not cheap, but clean work.

Harbor Freight rotary 7" unit. Like Max says, it sure has power. And Im not one to buy power tools from Harbor Freight. But I took off all the striping of the boat and with rubbing compound and a sponge pad. I clean the area, then polish with cleaner wax. After that some Ultra polish. Looks amazing

This transducer was only available in SS. It's a combination transducer. Fishing the west coast. Sometimes in 25', 100' or 300' deep. I also want to go in to 1500' deep for swordfish. Capnjim, I think the the transducer without the faring block will fit in the mounting indents. My concern is do...

I'm installing the "Furuno SS260 Multi-beam combo transducer". A portion of the flat area has a slight curve with less surface area. Does the fairing block fit. Or does it have to get contoured to the shape of the curve for it to fit. Just bought my boat Sailfish 282 from Cape Coral had it...

Ok, lots of eyes and no answers o_O. I did some searching and realized the 282 Sailfish has two flat tranducer areas. Very accessible. Has anyone installed it with or without the fairing block? Thanks in advance
