My transducer has been gving me fits all season. Recently i was on the phone with Raymarine customer support and we workex through a bunch of settings changes ad system resets all while i was sending pictures to the tech so he could see what i was seeing. The net results was my transducer is...

I have a 282 sailfish and at some point the hose for the shower in the head has been replaced with a shorter hose. You cant pull it out far enough to hang it on the hook to use it as intended. Other than going through Grady does anyone know of a source for a full length replacement to get mine...

So i thought i was finally finished with my pre launch chores on my 282 sailfish. Its been one delay after another this season. Anyway i was cleaning the boat up and prepping for her to go in on Monday when i scrubbed a piece of the flared end of the splash well drain tube off. I was thinking...

one last project I'd like to get knocked out on my boat is re bedding the cleats. The port forward cleat just aft of the anchor pulpit would be the first one i go after. Are the nuts on the underside held in place somehow or am i going to need to remove some of the material on the inside of the...

The last item holding up me getting my boat launched for the summer is the marina finishing up the repairs to the cabin headliner. The boat is a 2006 282 Sailfish and the marina where i keep it ( a Grady White Dealer) has been doing repairs to the headliner and other assorted chores over the...

I need to replace the hose that runs from my livewell pump to the livewell inlet. I haven't dug too deeply into it yet but I'm wondering if anyone here has done this job and if you had any advice based on your experience. Does the hose run through a rigging tube or is it simply routed under the...

I'm starting toi get my head into pre season mode and I'm looking at a serious compounding session on my boat. Last season I found that my buffer ( Makita 7" rotary) is really too big to do the walkaround area on my 2006 sailfish. I'd like to pick up a smaller buffer that will allow me to work...

As I plan out my pre launch chores i am looking at bottom painting as one of the jobs I'll need to tackle this season. Last year was my first year with the boat and the marina took care of the pre season stuff but looking at the bottom last fall this spring I'm going to need to paint the bottom...

I finally took the vee berth cushions from my sailfish over to my local trim shop. He said no problem I just have to wait until he gets through all the other projects he has on his plate. I also showed him the curtain from the starboard side. This is the three piece curtain that is in the head...

My boat was hauled for the season recently and i went and cleared all my gear off earlier this week to bring home and store for the winter. While looking at the hull i noticed this chunk missing right on one of the underwater strakes. I don't know how i managed to do this but my bet is a lobster...

I've been having trouble with my trim tabs on my '06 Sailfish. I lost all function a couple weeks ago while out on a trip, when we got back to the dock i found the 20 A fuse blown. Next weekend when we got back to the boat i replaced the fuse and it blew as soon as i tested it. I didnt have a...

Has anyone fit 2 12' displays in a 2006 282 sailfish helm station?? I have one raymarine E127 display in there now and I'd like to have a second one but it looks to be very, very close on whether or not it will fit. Any suggestions or experience you'd care to share would be appreciated!

On the punch list of repairs that were to be made on my 282 sailfish was the refrigerator. It runs but doesn't get cold. I spoke with the tech after he launched the boat and he claimed that he pulled the unit and cleaned the condenser and it seemed to run Ok after that. I just got back from...

So i've got another question about my new to me 2006 282 sailfish. The boat was launched 2 weeks ago and no one has used the head since. My wife and I spent yesterday at the boat doing some work and she noticed that the holding tank level indicator was showing nearly full. Is it possible for...

I've been out on my new to me 2006 282 sailfish a couple times over the last week. I went out a few miles off the coast today to do a little fishing and ran into a little chop. This made very obvious the need for a new set of wiper blades; the ones on my boat are worse than useless. Before i...

Good evening, thanks to the moderators for adding me to the group. My wife and I are looking for a boat that we can use in the ocean around our New Hampshire home. Id estimate that we are looking to use the boat 50% for cruising and exploring the coast and the other half for fishing. We looked...
