282 sailfish with twin 250's. Starboard engine began sputtering and then stalled after about 1-1/2 hrs of low speed trolling (6-8k rpm). Found ball priming pump not full and took longer time than normal to get it full. Restarted engine fine. Ran at crusing speed for about 20 min and engine...

I located the ID tag and confirmed I have a B774V transducer originally installed on my boat. Looking for anyone with experience with the new B785M (80-135 kHz) chirp transducer, particularly for bottom fishing / wrecks anywhere from 30-350' of water.

I'm continuing to research transducer options and it appears that the B785M xducer chirp (single band, medium frequency: 80-130 kHz) will install in the same hull hole / fairing block where my current traditional dual frequency 50/200 kHz is installed. I can't locate the ID tag on my current...

Where did you mount the GT51M-TH ClearVu/SideVu/CHIRP transducer? My existing B774 50/200 thru-hull on my 282 Sailfish is located on the starboard side of centerline. The deadrise at transom on my boat is 20.5 deg and I'm not sure where to mount the GT51M-TH so that the SideVu will work...

I'm ready to replace the Raymarine C120 (w/ DSM 300 and 50/200kHz thru-hull transducer) on my 2005 282 Sailfish. Has anyone installed the Simrad NSS12 EVO3s on this boat? If so, what transducer(s) did you install? I fish the lower Chesapeake bay and offshore Virginia waters. I'm also...

The tech was saying to separate the batteries that are parallel and line up individual battery charger banks to individual batteries. I didn't like that option since I the house battery would no longer get charged with the engines running, only with shore power from the charger. That's why I...

I'm getting some conflicting info from charger tech support staff. Is it advisable to hook up a 3-bank charger (10amp / bank) with a single charger bank output to each battery when 2 of the batteries are connected in parallel? My OEM install had starboard engine starting battery and house...

That's what I thought regarding battery switches, just looking to get confirmation, Thanks.

I haven't thoroughly reviewed wiring diagrams yet, but can you stick with the dual battery switches (pos 1,2, both, off) when converting to a 3-bank charger with individual battery/bank alignment?

I guess I was thinking the 2 batteries in parallel on one charger bank was somewhat of a one-off setup in the first place...and the 3 bank charger with a battery lined up to each bank is more in line with the charger manufacturer's design intent.

Need to replace the original 2 bank 30 amp charger on my 2005 282 Sailfish - twin 250 Yamaha outboards (3 batteries - 2 starting and 1 house loads - with dual battery selector switches) and looking at the Guest 2731A 10/10/10 amp 3 bank charger. Assuming I'd configure with one bank on each...

My outboards are 2005 vintage. Mechanical shift/throttle not digital. So to get second station controls for tower, installed a mechanical main/remote station switch and 4 switch / mechanisms (1 throttle/1 shift for each outboard). The only electrical tie-in to the starting ckt is the second...

The new selector switch at the main helm station is a mechanical device that selects what binnacle (main or tower) is controlling throttle / shift on the engines. My understanding from what I've been told is that the neutral switch is on the engines and whatever control station is selected by...

Realize in my original post I said that only "if both main helm station ignition switches were placed in on position would either engine crank over." I meant to say "would either engine start. When you attempt to start them one at a time with the keyswitch on the motor you're not starting in...

YES.

Just had a cobia tower installed on my 2005 282 Sailfish with twin 250 4-stroke outboards. Tower has steering wheel, control binn twin, and a deadman switch. There's no key switch in the tower only a deadman switch. Since the outboards are 2005 Yamaha's (800 hrs) had to use mechanical vs digital...

would love to hear from someone who's installed on a 282/272 sailfish

The port side scupper plastic deck flange/tube fitting has corroded. The flange has completed separated from the tube that fits into flex hose on one of the scuppers and the other is about 50% corroded around the circumference of the tube. Access thru the storage compartment and removal of the...
