Chain, I divorced my first wife at 27 like you. Was painful at the time, but best thing I ever did! Now been married to a wonderful woman for 15 years with three great kids and Sailfish 282! The Grady will help you in this tough time, but believe me, you have a lifetime ahead of you!

Spoke to the tech at jabsco, he suggested I remove the conversion pump assembly and test on the bench. removed it today will test over the weekend.

Welcome Sprockets. The 180 is a great boat, I just sold mine last spring after 5 years. I had the 130HP 2S which I found to be the perfect combination of power and weight. Top end was about 40mph with that combo. A good friend has the 150 4S and he really flies, plus much less fuel. I think...

Thanks guys, will let you know what i find. Wondering if it is simply a short as the fuse blows whether the switch goes to flush or fill. A jam would not blow a fuse on the fill side, would it? I will find out!

I have a new to me 2006 282 Sailfish that I bought in summer of 2011. Great boat. In the fall, I had the boat hauled for winterizing and my mechaninc called to tell me he couldn't winterize the head as it was not working. I had no problems throughout the summer, rarely used, but worked fine...

I too bought a 2006 Sailfish last year w/F225 power. It took a little time to adjust coming from a 180, but it is a great boat. You will ove it. This model year had some issues with cracking in the headliner in the cabin. Something to do with the adhesive they used. The previous owner of my...

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin Wow... Ayacht you got a great buy on this boat. Gotta love the GW service... I have had mine for 3 months and love her. had a great weekend trip with 4 friends, left S Shore on Thur eve, crossed to our cottage in Truro about 30...

For $100K you could likely get into a 2005 or 2006 Sailfish, fully equipped. The Marlin is significantly more $$. I just bought a 2006 Sailfish after thinking the Marlin was right for me for years. The Sailfish is a great boat and not too big as I think the Marlin is for me. HaleNalu asks...

Ayacht, I just made this purchase of a 2006 Sailfish 282 with T225 Yammies. I've had the boat for 2 months, having moved up from a 1999 GW Sportsman 180. I do not share your concern with wood, so I am not the best person to discuss that with you. You need to make that call yourself. This...

Will you be on the Cape Cod Bay side or the Vineyard Sound (south) side? On the Bay side, Barnstable harbor has a good facility (although it may be under construction). Sesuit harbor in Dennis has a very nice facility. From either of those facilities a nice trip is to Sandy Neck beach at...

Thanks Coco, I will try to clear the vent with the hose.

Tierney, Did you ever solve this? How did you blow out the vent? I need to try this too, as I have the same problem on my 282.

Same issue on my 282... Where is the vent and how do I clear it?

Trying every angle I can... I am renting on Pleasant Bay starting Friday for a week. would love to bring my Sailfish 282, but the only marina I know on P Bay is Ryders Cove and they have nothing. Anyone know anyone who would rent a mooring for the week capable of handling my boat? I can even...

yes.

Another question regarding the new to me Sailfish... Lot to learn on these boats compared to the 180! I have an electric head and when I open the seacock on the inlet and turn the switch to the "fill bowl" position, the pump runs but no water comes in. I have to assume somewhere the inlet...

Thanks everyone. Was a loose ground wire. All running well on all batteries. Thanks for the help!

I have done this for years with my 180 and always did bow first. Now, I have a 282 and like you a windlass. Here is my plan for anchoring with the stern to the beach. I haven't tried this yet so love to get input from others. We anchor on a beach with very strong tidal current and often is...

So I finally made the move up from the 180, and bought a 2006 Sailfish 282 w/T225 Yammies. Sea trial and survey went great and I took a couple of buds for my first fishing trip this morning. A lot to learn on this boat! About half way across to Provincetown, I stopped (idle) to try and figure...

New to me 2006 Sailfish will be arriving in a week or so, but I'm thinking I'd like to take advantage of the West Marine sale going on. What size docklines do you Sailfish owners use? 1/2" enough or 5/8"? How about fenders? I will be tied to a float in a tidal river that sees current of...
