A few years ago, I had posted where I changed out my original helm seat on my 2001, 282 sailfish. I went to an aftermarket seat, which had the time wasn’t crazy expensive and seemed to fit the look and the feel of what I wanted. Fast forward three years and it’s falling apart, so I’m looking...

I recently went from 2005 mechanical f250’s to 2009 DEC, it’s a night a day difference. I was happy with my mechanical controls, but now that I have DEC I can’t believe how much I was missing. The rpm’s go exactly where you place them without guessing the resistance of the throttle. Just...

As others have mentioned regarding new users and ads. Might be a good idea to somehow boldly highlight the homepage (when not logged in). “Join and donate today to remove ads!!!” Something to keep the new users around?

I may be late to the party, but as others said I had to install an 8” piece plate on the starboard side of my 282, behind the door/transom area.

I don’t have the tool, but another suggestion is to just oversize the hole, fill with expoy and drill the scupper hole. Never have to worry about tubes again. Just a thought.

I can’t sean to find the spectrum kits anymore which were easy to get. Since then I’ve been using this in Amazon. Depending on how faded your Grady is, it’s a very close match.

Thank you fellas for the tips, I ended up getting the skinniest kid in the yard and said $30 if you don’t drop it and if you do drop it then run. Got them both lol. I can’t believe Grady didn’t move the pie plates over just 2 more inches over to clear the stringers. Insane. I appreciate...

Ok so blue is backlighting and black is ground. Thank you! Oh and very 3 rd orange is positive lol

On my sailfish, I’m looking at the back of the switch panel. I just wanna make sure I’m looking at these wires correctly as I’ve got 100 other things going on trying to get the re-power on this boat done Looking at the back of the switch panel all the orange jumper wires are power and all the...

Appreciate it skunkboat, I overlooked the obvious in my original post. In my head the factory 6pin plug (with the 2 dark blue, 1 black, 1 pink, 2 baby blue wires) plugged directly into the old original round Yamaha fuel management gauge/harness (purple, orange, black,red etc). It obviously...

OK, I’m an idiot. Those two connections don’t go together not directly anyway. But I did find out is that the six pin out plug that has the baby blue wires on it is the factory plug, and only three of those wire wires were used on my boat. The pink, the black and one of the dark blues were used...

Ok it looks like it plugs directly into the old yamaha round tach, still not sure what those three other wires are for? I don’t wanna loose anything. Is it possible for the sync function?

Just a quick recap, I’m doing a repower and I’ve removed all the old harnesse which were for Yamaha round gauges. Totally forgot about tracing the wire for the sending units for the fuel tanks. I was able to locate them. They go to a switch panel so you can switch from one tank or two tank...

I have a 2001 282 sailfish. I’m here in the middle of a re power and can’t seem to reach the lower inner outboard mounting bolt. I opened the deck plate and can barely get my fingers on it because the stringer is in the way. My fear is if I remove it, which I have to because it’s stripped...

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Definitely makes sense now. It’s pretty interesting and would have never know if I hadn’t been doing a report.

Would there be any reason someone would hook this up directly to the on off battery switches on a sailfish?

Removing my 05 f250’s (unfortunately had a hole above thermostat housing and by time I realized intake ingested water and hydro locked) mechanical controls , installing 08 f250’s with DEC. I was removing old harnesses and I came across this single plug that was connected to the port motor and...

I’ll take more pictures tomorrow when I’m on the boat fishing with my son. I’ll have to run a level across it so you could tell where the bubble is. It’s really strange. It’s like stepping onto a thin Ziploc bag full of air if that makes sense. I’m not ruling out that it’s water, but I would...

Appreciate all the input here. Here’s a few pictures of when the work was done years back. Im skeptical that there’s water intrusion or the core is bad especially considering the location of where it is appearing (halfway between the edge and in the inspection plate) I don’t have any finish...
