    Water ingress in 2007 282 Sailfish

    On my boat the scupper hoses are new and I do not get water in the boat while washing it - I'm starting to suspect the area around the windlass. Will have to get down there during the next rainstorm and try to figure it out I guess.

    Water ingress in 2007 282 Sailfish

    Hello, I have a new to me 2007 282 Sailfish that keeps getting water in the bilge after a rainstorm. I have routed the rear cup holders to drain onto the deck. This has cut the amount of water approx in half but there is still rain water coming in. It stays fully dry when no rain so...

    Cup holder covers???

    Making your own seems like an option - but the fit would have to be really snug to prevent them falling off in bumpy weather. Ideally they come off only when cup holder in use. Draining into deck area seems like an easy no more hassles fix. I think I may go that route.

    Cup holder covers???

    I live in a pretty rainy area so they would always be full and then slowly overflow into the bilge unless caulked in place which would make it difficult to empty. Something with a lid would be much better.

    Cup holder covers???

    It is a 2007 year boat. Stainless cups would be a nice upgrade for sure. How did you route the drains to go overboard? That would be the ideal solution but was thinking lids for the cups would be an acceptable fix for me.

    Cup holder covers???

    Hello - I recently purchased a new to me 282 Sailfish. The cup holder draining into bilge bugs me and I though an easy solution would be to find compatible covers that can just be snapped on when holders are not in use. Has anybody tried this and found an appropriate cover? Thanks in advance.

    Differences between 2003 to 2008 282 Sailfish???

    Hello, I am in the market for a 2003 to 2008 282 Sailfish and just trying to figure out the differences (and pros/cons) of the slight model changes within this 5 year period. Based on what I can tell from online listing pictures the aft seating changed in 2005 and it appears that the...
