    2006 sailfish refrigerator

    On the punch list of repairs that were to be made on my 282 sailfish was the refrigerator. It runs but doesn't get cold. I spoke with the tech after he launched the boat and he claimed that he pulled the unit and cleaned the condenser and it seemed to run Ok after that. I just got back from...

    jabsco manual head

    I checked into this last Friday. I found there was about 2 inches of water in the tank. It looks like theres no "foreign matter" in the tank and id guess that it may have never been used. i went through the recalibration of the level indicator and after a couple attempts it seems to have sorted...

    replacement wiper blades

    i found a set of blades at the local napa that are going to work for now. that store no longer sells the blade only so I bought a cheap set of frames and got them on the arms. One of my neighbors in the marina has pointed me towards Hamilton Marine as a source of the blades that will fit the...

    replacement wiper blades

    I took this one but its not very sharp. It appears that the frame is 5/16 would you say that the 1/4" Narrow refils you use would fit this frame??

    jabsco manual head

    Thanks Timbo, I found a thread from way back that had a bunch of information about the system Grady used when they changed to the pump from the top of the tank. The level sensor is on the outside too, it is fitted on the side. According to the post that I'll try to link any residue inside the...

    replacement wiper blades

    These are some pictures of my wiper blades, specifically of the connection between the wiper arm and the blade assembly. Are these what folks are familiar with? We are headed over to Portland on Friday to keep after the pre season chores. I'm planning to take the wipers off and carry them to a...

    jabsco manual head

    mine has the macerator on top, the level sensor was allegedly fixed but thats jsut what i was told. it appears that the sensor in the link posted by hook up is the float style which i've always found to be problematic in anything but clean fluid. My concern is that if the level indicator is...

    jabsco manual head

    when we did the sea trial before purchase (late last October) the level indicator was showing full. It was on the list to be repaired before launching. The tech who worked on the boat told me he pulled and cleaned the level sensor and replaced the macerator pump ( that too was inop at sea...

    that looks similar, mine is a jabsco I'm not sure if the Johnson and the Jabsco are the same. There cant be much difference.

    jabsco manual head

    So i've got another question about my new to me 2006 282 sailfish. The boat was launched 2 weeks ago and no one has used the head since. My wife and I spent yesterday at the boat doing some work and she noticed that the holding tank level indicator was showing nearly full. Is it possible for...

    replacement wiper blades

    I believe they are the school bus tyoe. they are like the ones found on the 60's & 70's cars where you replaced only the rubber edge and not the entire wiper.

    replacement wiper blades

    I've been out on my new to me 2006 282 sailfish a couple times over the last week. I went out a few miles off the coast today to do a little fishing and ran into a little chop. This made very obvious the need for a new set of wiper blades; the ones on my boat are worse than useless. Before i...

It seems someone is looking...

    282 sailfish deck hoses.

    I've looked at the battery compartment as a way to access the thru hull end of the hoses. It would be a very very tight squeeze for me to get in there; as mentioned maybe one of the kids is small enough to shove in there and pull it off but I'd probably never be comfortable unless it was me that...

    Advice on a 282 Sailfish

    here are a couple shots I took when we first went to look at the boat back in October. i'm very happy we finally got this done, there were a few hiccups along the way but i think it worked out for all concerned. The marina that sold it to us is going to take care of everything on the surveyors...
