Hey Fishin' Rod, Is it possible that you could look for a model number or snap a picture or two and email them to me or post them? I frequently use the boat by myself and can't run up to the bow to kick the anchor free. If emailing is easier, (I don't know how to post a picture on here) I am...

Is your pulpit the newer design with the anchor running through it or the older style with tha anchor going out over the front of the pulpit?

Hi everyone, I have a 2004 Sailfish with a windlass and I can't get the anchor to drop on it's own. The windlass works fine and pays out chain but the chain just piles up on the pulpit. All the anchor needs is a little push to get it to drop. The 2005 pulpit is a totally different design where...

Thanks for your comments. I just bought the same setup. Can't wait to get the drill out. :dance

Thanks for the suggestion, I was leaning towards 15' poles and now you have made up my mind. Thanks again, Bob

I just bought a set of Taco GS 270 mounts and will be mounting them in my hardtop of my 282 Sailfish. I don't know if I should get 15' or 18' outriggers. Any Sailfish owners out there with suggestions would be great. Thanks, Bob

Sitex recently moved from I think Florida to Long Island, N.Y. Two guys got together and bought the company. The company is going strong and has alot of new products. I know the one partner and he has been in the marine electronics field for many years. I didn't meet the other owner. I've been...

V Locks Your product is fantastic. I put two on my transom and attached my large bait board to it. I now install my bbq into the bait board as well. I cut a piece of Azek (similar to starboard but cheaper) the inside diameter of the baitboard. I made two 2" risers from mahogany and attached two...

Okay, here goes. I have an 04 282 w/ F225's and love it. I think the 225's have plenty of power and from what I've heard, the corrosion problem is very isolated and on 03 and earlier engines. The big changes in the 282 took place on 2005 models. Some I wish I had and others I'm glad I don't. The...

Giorgos, Were you over by Greenport Saturday? I saw a big Grady go by that I think said Nothing Else Matters. I was Fluke fishing. Bob

I have a 282 Sailfish with 2-8' VHF antennas, 2- GPS antennas, a Ray dome, on a combo mount w/ mast light, a spot light infront of it and a 3' am/fm antenna behind the dome. Oh, and my Sirius antenna as well. It looks great and works. There's still room for my custom made rocket launcher and...

I'm thinking more of a custom made single leaning post without the rocket launchers that most have. I'm not really sure. Has anyone done anything like this?

Ron, I hear ya! I hate the seat on my Sailfaish. It's the Pompenette ladder back with the fixed armrests. I feel it's too far forward even all the way back. I was thinking about looking into some sort of a bolster instead. I remember seeing one that flipped up as a seat and down as a leaning...

Sure looks pretty, Good luck with it. I bought my 282 last September and barely got to use it before putting her away. I did alot of mods to her over the winter and can't wait to un cover her and put a fresh coat of bottom paint on the drop her back in. Congrats on the purchase. But did you...

You Southerners are so lucky! My slip doesn't even open until May 1st. 51 days until the boat goes in. I hope this May is nicer then last year. It was a crappy rainy windy month. I bought my Grady in mid September and it came out in late October so I'm itching to get it in the water. Only got...

I think they are 4.5" I'm not sure about this but they are quite small. I didn't realize you don't have any radio at all. The helm speakers are located port side between seat and cabin door. If door is in open position it would be behind door. and Starboard side down low in wood panel facing to...

I wanted a sattelite radio in my 2004 282 Sailfish but found out the factory wiring wouldn't allow the helm mounted remote to work with a newer radio. And without a major wiring job I couldn't get a newer remote cable to the existing radio location. Also the remote was not back lit so trying to...

Pork on New Years Day in Romania I was in Romania for the new year and they too eat pork on New Years day. It's a little different there though. At 8 AM they started with "The traditional cutting of the Pig". They then cook it on a huge bbq. I guess it would have been a pit but the hotel used...

Hell, I've got that beat. I looked into going to Rhode Island for a week this upcoming summer (2010) I own a time share and thought I'd make a boating adventure/summer vacation. I got a quote for a one week slip rental for 1,600.00. :roll: You can keep your quaint little state and shove it...

I had the same problem. I removed the valve handles and then removed the valve stems and turned on the pump. I wasn't in the head to see what came out but water went everywhere inside the head. I put everything back together and all is good now. It only took about ten minutes. If you have a leak...
