    282 Sailfish repower

    What year are 225s? I only ask because 300 hrs in 14 years would worry me.

    282 Sailfish repower

    Any chance you can email me the the f250 performance sheet. I thought I had it saved but can't find mine. All good points made above. And if you do go with 250s like smoky said the 4.2s will save you weight.

    282 Sailfish repower

    Those numbers really aren't bad. If memory serves me correct my best numbers are around 3800-4100 35ish mph at 1.6 mpg. You're gain in cruise and rpm will be small. But there is a difference in plane time and power and obviously no oil filling to worry about. 2001 is rated for 450, but I...

    Deck Drains

    I just installed these. Keep in mind, you will need a way to secure the black portion to the under side of hull if you ever decide to unscrew and clean out. If it's not secured under the hull, when you unscrew the stainless portion, you'll never get it threaded back on as the black portion will...

    282 Sailfish repower

    I have a 2001 with 05 f250s. She doesn't necessarily sit low but the port and starboard deckdrain scuppers are just at the water line. What kind of performance difference are you expecting with the f250s vs the hpdi?

    Cockpit drains...

    Ok not to side track thread but just a little update. Getting those hoses off the thru hull was a PITA!!!. Had to use a vibratory tool. Nothing else worked. I originally was going to just take the hoses out along with the thru Hulls, but the thru Hulls but seemed to be bedded in 5200. So I left...

    ATF or Yamaha fluid

    I'll be honest I never used my check relief valve and don't even know what it looks like. As silly as it is, I never had a need for it. I will do a Google search and find it and take your advice on trying to turn it without damage. Also I have a manual oil pump that I just purchased to do an...

    Rod storage

    A great member on here had actually sent me a template last year I believe. I just never got around to making them. I will search tonight for the template and get back to you. If I find them I'll mail out a copy to you.

    ATF or Yamaha fluid

    Yeah I don't see any signs of a leak, sheen on water or full rainbow effect when I've inspected it. But your right it must be leaking from somewhere because my out board drops slowing over a couple of weeks.

    ATF or Yamaha fluid

    Same here. Mysterious leak slowly drops outboards over a couple of weeks. I don't see any sign of where it's coming from. I may give a try!!

    Replacing cockpit floor drains

    I know this may be slightly different as I have a 282, but I just cut an 8" hole over the weekend on the starboard side wing. I went as close to the deck as I could and as close to the transom door as I could. It definitely widens up a lot. I have about 10 inches depth to work with. I actually...

    Cockpit drains...

    I second the fact that depending on the age of the boat, if those deck drains are damaged I bet the hoses are worse. Im just starting this project after putting it off last year. When I seen the condition of the hoses I almost threw up. I'm not joking, I broke out in a sweat thinking all the...

    Bilge pump discharge routing?

    Not sure about everyone else, but I've just got into the habit of using double clamps over the past few years. I feel like if it's drilled into my brain to double the clamps regardless of location, then I won't be tempted to "cheat" when doing a repair in a tight spot.

    Locate part# aft bench seat tray

    I see what you're saying. I called my somewhat local dealer today and the awesome guy there I used to deal with is no longer there and the current person didn't seem interested in helping all that much. So I'm waiting a call back. Not so worried about the seal as I'm sure I'll fabricate a way to...

    Bilge pump discharge routing?

    Glad to see you got it done! Honestly until you dive into it, you're not sure what to expect. But now that it's done you'll have added one more thing to what you can do. If possible try to get another clamp on that hose....both ends pump side and thru Hull. Always good to have for added safety!
