    Fighting chair

    It did make it tight in the cockpit. Add a larger cooler for fish box and any more than four people in the back of the boat was difficult. I have since removed the chair. I use beanbag chairs for the clients to ride out and in on and they go on the bow while fishing. Makes fishing a lot easier.

    Fighting chair

    There is a 1/2" aluminum plate mounted into the underside of the deck cover. Through bolted with three screws so taking it in and out...not an option.

    Is this one time use stuff?

    Pretty much. You can slow down the cure by placing in an airtight bag and placing in the refrigerator. But, in the end, it turns into a rock.

    2005 282 Sailfish Moisture Issue

    I'm impressed by your persistence in finding out the details concerning the hull. However, I need to ask...have you questioned a competent mechanic on the cost to re-sleeve the 225's? I was quoted $7500 per engine just this summer on a pair of 04's. Just be prepared on all you're going to...

    Replace Fridge with AC. What challenges to expect?

    Just a thought...my ac unit is mounted behind my frig so space for what you want to do should not be a problem at all. You could still keep the frige if you like.

    Raw/Fresh Water Washdown Plumbing

    Just for giggles...make sure that the port side fishbox/cooler doesn't have raw water plumbing inlet high up in the front side of the box. You will have to stand on your head to see it if it is there.

    Removing bottom paint from transducer lense.

    Correction, it's a B117. It's highly possible, but I wouldn't think for long periods of time. Boat stays in a slip most of the time. I do remember one time when putting boat on the trailer the unit was left running. Might have run 15-20 minutes out of water. Guess it's time to change out the...

    Removing bottom paint from transducer lense.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I believe the ducer has gone bad. Can't null it out, not enough adjustment capability in the machine. Running a Lowrance HDS2 with an Airmar B175 (I believe).
