It's time to start re-upholstering my 2001 282 Sailfish (as well as replacing some of the original canvas/vinyl enclosure). Does anyone have experience removing the companion seat in this boat? It is a bench style companion seat.

Had a ridiculous sime trying to figure out how to replace the wipers on my 2001 282 sailfish. You would think people who spend their livelihoods maintaining boats would know these things but to get to the point, I simply ordered replacement blades from NAPA. 0.5" by 20" blades part number...

I used Startron at the end of the season only - when I am not running the boat as much. Then when my mechanic winterizes the engines, he adds Yamaha fuel stabilizer. This could be the answer - the problem shows up in early July once I been running offshore - long runs at 4200 + rpms. I will...

Thanks for the response. It makes sense. I guess we have been using E10 ethanol gasoline for about five years now. I wonder why I am having this trouble only now. Have you seen any improvement in the frequency of the vst filter clogging indicating the oxidation has been "scrubbed" from the...

I am running a 2001 282 Sailfish with 200 HP 2001 HPDI Yamaha engines. Last year, the filters in the engine fuel pumps became clogged with a fine white powder which may be aluminum oxide from the fuel tank. I hauled and had the filters replaced and the boat ran fine the rest of the season...
