    2003 282 Windlass Question

    Sir, mine does the same... Sometimes I think I ring it up too tight. I did loosen the bolt on the rubber rolley thingy - thinking it would help, but not much. Maybe I will try some type of lubricant but that will probably just get gummed up with sea spray. Its kind of a pain in the azz...

    2003 Sailfish 282 Trailer requirements?

    Good morning, I live in Maryland but had a Custom Trailer built by Owen and Sons out of Florida about 6 years ago I think they have since sold out. The trailer has been prefect and spot on. All aluminum and stainless hydraulic brakes not electric, the only thing that has rusted is the grease...

    Port Cabin Window Leaking
