    2003 282 Sailfish - New Fuel Vent Cover Suggestions

    Google boat tank vent fittings Get stainless steel or chrome over brass Do not buy ZAMAC or chrome/zinc. Stainless steel may run a rust line Tha Most Grady had vented fuel fills. That is probably a waste tank vent

    battery cableing

    Your info is insufficient for a response. How many motors, switches, batteries? Model and year of boat. Look at your owners manual for the diagram. You can get a pdf of your model/year owners manual at gradywhite.com

    30 year old Grady and Yamaha...what should I replace before it breaks

    Fuel tank probably needs replacing if original. The cost of that deterimines what else you do. ( for a 19' boat you could just replace with a generic Moeller plastic tank that fits) Deck drain hoses!!!!!! Shift/throttle cables clean out out remote oil tank, replace tiny filter on remote oil...

    What happened here?

    You don’t hear a beep every time you turn the key on? It’s done it on my Yamahas, my Suzuki’s and I’m pretty sure my old mercury. You don’t hear a beep when you stall?

    330 Express Helm Pump Replacement

    There are other things that could be "repaired" on a helm. The shuttle valve can get stuck or blocked and there are springs and balls that stick. IMO, get a new one. You have to buy a Classic tilt that includes the tilt. You can't just buy a pump. The shaft on a tilt pump is different. Also...

    Enclosure thoughts

    still in great shape. no loose threads, no broken zippers. The hard plastic looks great and so does the soft sides. One thing I want to do is replace a couple of the front windshield snaps with Loxx pull-ups. Bought them a year ago but haven't gotten around to it

    powering a GoPro off the boat battery?

    For many years I used a Hero4 attached to half a fising rod. It had the clear UW case. Only used battery, didn't try cable power underwater nor on hardtop. I got a lot of great great UW video by sticking the rod in the water. That is fish at the boat. Hookup was trying to look at the bottom in...

    powering a GoPro off the boat battery?

    Simple power is to get a 12v to USB outlet on amazon and wire it to near where you mount. Then you can use the gopro cable.

    Got our 40 seabass limit and 25 red hake. One short cod and a short female lobster! It was blowing hard in the morning so we fished the Klondike rocks. Got half the limit. Wind died out at noon so we ran out to Shark River Reef. It was a slow pick until the last 7 fish. Bite turned on with...

    Electric Reel outlets

    The boat doesn’t matter. You need an outlet that accepts your cable to your reel. I have the same Marinco outlets. You should have the power on a switch not to battery. I powered mine from my capstan breaker switch. That way it only has power when that switch is on…almost never…. Less...

    Kicked off 2025 with west wind 20 to 25 gusting 35. Anchored on Axel reef a mile and a half off the beach. Couldn’t get out any farther than that and still be fishable. We managed 11 keeper Seabass, and a couple of Ling. And I caught a 20 inch fluke in the river. The dock bass were biting...
