I have a 282 and I'm guessing the set up is similar. If the pump is running you either have a water leak on the pressurized side or a air leak on the neg side. If your sucking in air on the neg side your tank will still be full even tho the pump is trying to prime up constantly. If it's the...

Over 5 for 93 at local stations in Brooklyn NY, by time boat is ready to get filled I'm probably at over 7 on the water. That's almost double last year's price. Not complaining, but it's the facts.

I replaced wm group 27 with optima bluetop, the blue tops are a lot lighter and a tad smaller than wm

batteries would only last me 3yrs on average, so I finally bit the bullet and went with optima blue tops last year. I'm hoping to get 5 yrs out of them. Honestly not that much more than the wm AGMs I've been going thru.

When I'm due for a transom rebuild I'll have it glassed over like fishtales above. That's exactly how it should be. Still drives me nuts considering how much I love everything else about these boats.

Yes that angle is much better. At the end of the day it all depends on what your needs and wants are. For me I go tuna fishing a few times a year and couldn't imagine fishing without them. But again that's just me and everyone fishes differently.

I always thought hardtop riggers we're better, especially considering that those holder/riggers take a spot where a pole could be. Your current riggers look a bit high on the angle. You get much more flexibility and convenience with hardtop riggers, with multiple angles depending on the bases...

I agree with everything said above, some great advice. Just to keep in mind even with my f250s I can just about hit 45ish give or take wot. Sometimes the added weight just isn't worth it. Those 200 zukes would be cheaper and lighter for almost the same exact performance!

for reference I have 2001 with f250s as well and my insurance had no problem with it. My scuppers do sit at the water line. Performance for me is great, but I honestly don't think I would be less happy with 225s. Also to keep in mind didn't the 272s have the keel running surface cut short...

This is for a 2005 but I think 2002 and on is the same

I believe the shower sump pumps to the forward bilge if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't pump out directly. I did the forward bilge, a couple of years ago and it was a major pain but doable. The hose on my 2001 ran diangle to under the the aft facing portion(near toilet) of the floor to the...

I don't have any in my phone but can grab you some this week. I was able to squeeze a 12 and a 9 ray marine axiom in the dash.

The 4 strokes might be a bit heavy for the 272, compare the added weight to what you have now. Also do not exceed the rated HP. Your insurance will mostly like not be happy about it and if you don't have insurance the add HP may cause damage to your transom. Twin 225s are plenty for this boat.

part #21-350 (starboard side)

This is for a 2001 sailfish but may be the same for your boat

Trust me I feel your pain with reaching in there. I'm only 5'9" but not on the big side and I find myself chest deep in order to reach down in there. Side note anyone know where to source that tray that sits in the hatch under the aft bench seat? And where to source those valve extension...

Ok I know it's a pain and you'll have to go in head first, but you can reach it. You're going to have to learn how to work in almost an handstand kind of position. The access for the rear bilge is a pain! But it can be done. Also side note. That original seacock looks in really bad shape, rusted...

No worry at all. Maybe I didn't describe it as best as I should have and to be honest it's pretty hard to write and much easier to describe when looking at it in person. Regarding the transducer flat: The flat itself (looking from the outside/ bottom of hull) is parallel to the waterline. But...

It is flat/horizontal to water line. In fact, when you go to install the ducer, you will have to make a sort of angled washer to compensate for the inside angle of the hull.
