    Twin F225 (2003) Question!

    Hi! We have twin f225s on our 282 Sailfish and we left it in all winter in Stamford CT. The weird thing about it is when we go and try to start up the motors after not having run them for at least a couple weeks, one starts without a problem, and the other wont start unless we put the batteries...

    Thinking of getting a Honda EU2000i

    I've wanted a generator for my 282 sailfish but wondering how you hook it up. I already have the shore power adapter that converts it to a regular power cord. Do you just plug that into the generator and it's as if your on shore power? Thanks!

    Grady 282 Upgrades

    Hi all, I have a 282 2003 Sailfish and am constantly jealous of the owners of the newer models. I really want to outfit the cabin with similar looks. For instance, the teak table, the teak floors, etc. Is there any way I can order these things from grady white? Thanks. Also, anyone that has...

    Grady White 282 Stove

    Okay thanks so much, and do these canisters for sure fit the 282 Sailfish stove? I was at West Marine and they had the canisters, just they were too big to fit in the small opening. And what is the name of the store in Norwalk? I live in Wilton and have the boat in Stamford. Thanks for all the...

    Grady White 282 Stove

    I have the stove in my 282 sailfish and it runs on that little tank of fuel, but we've run out and it's not a conventional size container so where do you buy them? Thanks.

    Outlet usage while I'm out in my 282 Sailfish

    Right now, the only way I can use the outlets in my boat is when I'm plugged into shore power. That's great, but I want to run a heater while I'm out in the colder weather. Is there an easy solution? Thanks.

    Bad News….

    Hey guys, I totally forgot about the post until now, 4 months later. Let's just say the boat is safe and sound and all the problems are fixed. In my original post, I did give some false info. Basically, the batteries were hooked up wrong, as far as the specifics, I'm not sure. It was a...

    282 2003 Sailfish Express

    I'm keeping the boat in the water this winter up in the Northeast. I'm new to this boat this year and would really like to purchase a boat cover. I found one for $500 at "Discount Boat Covers," but have no idea whether it's good or not. Any recommendations would be really helpful!!

    Gas or oil in bilge??? 2003 282 sailfish

    We recently realized the when the bilge pumps out gas is mixed within the water. I don't think their is much gas, but just enough the cast the gas odor in the air. What does this mean? Corroded gas tank? We're bring this boat into the grady white place asap, but we would really like to hear any...

    Grady 282 Bilge Going On Every 5 mins

    Hi all, So correction on this issue! When I was at the boat the other day, I didn't take the boat out but it didn't drain once the whole hour and a half I was there! Now I went and investigated in the bilge and noticed VERY small bubbles coming from the hull fitting for the transducer. Is that...

    Grady 282 Bilge Going On Every 5 mins

    The boat has been like this for a month or more though and nothing shows signs of sinking whatsoever? It's a real puzzle. Also, I'll make sure to do that! Thanks!

    Grady 282 Bilge Going On Every 5 mins

    Thanks a lot for the replies. This has been happening for just about a month and we haven't hit a thing! It seemed to begin right after we took off the filter for our fresh water tank but I'm no sure. Would that do anything? I mean it is 30 gallons, And we refill it every couple weeks.
