Nice work!

Congrats, she looks great!

man this is exactly what I want to do on our 282. It'd be cool if you had the measurements for the aluminum mount. Also, the batteries are were I figured I'd mount them. How did you deal with the slope in that compartment for the battery brackets?

Congrats! Don't forget to post pictures when you get it!

Yeah they are not the same, but thank you for the offer!

its a possibility, I'll check them.

Thanks, I'll do some more research and let you know.

For that price I will take it. I'll message you my address to figure shipping. Thank you.

Ok I guess this is the one I have. For $100+ I'll just look back and see how it is trimmed. :D

Mine has a lever like this. https://www.boats.net/product/yamaha/6E5-83672-01-00?gclid=Cj0KCQjww4-hBhCtARIsAC9gR3bDflSc1VK8nW28Dkm2EfAJJVUESZSf9-Q9Q31tghm-KQN1JB7URf0aAkHcEALw_wcB

Hmm that looks nothing like the lever on mine.

Ok I lifted both motors and I see the lever you all are referring too. On the working side it goes up and down with the motor, must have a spring in it. On the bad side it just moves freely by hand, appears the spring is likely broken. I'll likely fix it, but it is move down the list of things...

This is exactly my thoughts, if I can fix it easily, then I want to because...well everything should work right. :) But if not, no worries as I can look back at it as I did with my previous boat that had no indicator. :D

Got the gauges refurbished.

More work getting done.

Thank you, I like starting with the easy stuff! I'll check that today.

03 282 with original engines and gauges. When I purchased it the gauges were unreadable. I sent them to a place to get refurbished. They did a great job and they look and work perfectly except, the starboard tach has the trim indicator shows the motor trimmed up all the way and does not change...

Great discussion guys, and thank you all for the input. I do have 4200, 5200, Life Seal and Life Caulk on hand. Now it's time to pick the best one.

Thank you all for the input. If the tabs are stainless, I wonder why they were painted in the first place. The paint was flaking off. Look at the link above, I think I'll just clean them good and leave them. This boat will not stay in the water, it will be stored indoors and will be washed down...

Thanks guys, I'll clean it all up and get a better look at it. So the "paint" on the trim tabs is flaking off, any recommendation on a paint for them?
