    Transducer placement 282 Sailfish

    I currently have a b765 in that transducer flat in the bilge with no fairing. It works pretty good. It's funny because my old b744 in the exact same spot was great at holding bottom, but the newer B765 onyl holds to about 30mph ish., Even tho its a direct fit replacement. Just make sure the...

    Transducer Help Please

    What your referring to is the transducer pad. There's one on stb and port in the bilge. The biggest transducer you can realistically fit in that area is a 600w. You are not getting a1kw transducer to sit flush and properly in that area. You will have to use a different location with a fairing...

    Bow Thruster Troubleshoot

    Ain't it great when it's as simple as spending a known amount money to solve a problem lol. I'm serious tho, how many times I have said....I'd pay x amount of dollars just so I don't have to try to track down this issue. I'm happy it worked out for you and now enjoy the season!

    Bow Thruster Troubleshoot

    This is the joystick I replaced. Apparently they end up burning out every few years or so. I hope that's the only issue that you're having because it's a fairly simple fix

    Bow Thruster Troubleshoot

    What kind of thruster do you have? I ask because I had a bad controller that needed to be replaced and it was a similar issue as yours.

    225 Yamaha

    Question for the OP. Does this happen just on initial start up? Every time? How long does it last etc? I only ask because my motors do this on initial start up if haven't ran in a while and last about 30 second.

    Gulfstream Cabin Rod Storage

    Thank you for that! To be honest I never understood the bungees but here's my best guess. The large long bungee wraps all the way up over the reel holding it down in the groove. The smaller bungee must somehow just wrap around the rod tip?

    Panel purpose?

    Just hook the rf drain to the ground connection. This boat doesn't have a direct rf drain (bolt in hull to ground).

    Replace Fridge with AC. What challenges to expect?

    Just to give you a heads up. The fridge also works without shore power! Don't get rid of that thing. Put the a/c where the factory had it originally.

    Can't find cabin rod holders!

    I came across a few very old post about the Rod storage - folding cabin rack (6), that was optional on some the Grady's, my 282 included. I can't seem to source them! I know a few people a while back made them. Any pictures installation tips even sketches would be a great help I really want...

    2005 282 Sailfish Moisture Issue

    If you're able to get access to the boat again please take my advice on this and do the method I told you earlier about shining a very bright spotlight from the outside. You will be able to see through it and tell if there's some kind of delamination or rot going on. If I wasn't stuck in the...

    Can't get full throttle on F225 4.2L

    Ok just wanted to make sure it wasn't the obvious considering it was a new install. I remember I thought I had the same issue as you, but turned out I was burried and bad props. Point being is I asked my yammy tech to confirm the throttle sensor was operating correctly and all I know is that...
