    282 Sailfish rear sun shade

    Hi, I have a 2002 282 Sailfish and would like to add a rear sunshade. Does anyone have one of these and if so, where did you get it? I would think it's a common enough boat that there is already a design done, so I don't have to pay a custom maker to design one. I would to keep it simple, canvas...

    282 Sailfish Spotlight mounting location

    Hi, I'm looking for ideas for mounting a remote spot on my 282 Sailfish. I would like to mount it under the lip of the roof but the light mfg says not to mount the light upside down. Also I'm reading about glare issues unless the light is shielded from the bow. Another thought is on the roof...

    Vinyl Paint to match Grady Vinyl

    Hi, I am looking for vinyl paint to match the bolsters on my 2002 Grady Sailfish. I believe the vinyl color is Seaquest Chalk. I've redone the vinyl on my previous boat using Dupicolor paint and it came out really nice. I was hoping to find a match for the Grady vinyl. Does anyone know of...

    HPDI Water Pump Collar

    Hi, Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get the metal collar over the plastic sleeve that goes over the top of the water pump impeller on the HPDI's (2002 200HP)? How much force should I be applying to that collar to get it on. From what I read around the net, it just "slips" on. That's not...

    HPDI Auxiliary charging lead

    Hi, I'm considering using the auxiliary charging output from one of my 200HP HPDI's on the house battery. The way the boat came, there were 3 batteries. Two were in parallel for stb and house, and one was all alone for port. The AC shore charger uses 2 outputs, one for each "bank". I don't like...

    2002 Grady 282 Sailfish Dash panel replacement

    Hi, Both dash panels on my 282 Sailfish are looking pretty shabby. I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on how/what to replace them with. I did one on my old boat, a 2000 Sportcraft. I took the old panel off, got a sheet of 3M carbon fiber sticker sheet and pasted it over the old one, then...

    2002 Grady 282 Sailfish shore power inlet

    Hi, I'm trying to remove the shore power inlet on my 282 sailfish (stb side rear) and I can't seem to get the unit to pull out of the cut out hole. I've got the 4 mounting screws out of the cover and the assembly pulls out about 3/4" but there's something preventing it from coming completely...

    2002 282 Sailfish Yellowing of topside and hull

    Hi, I've got a (new to me) 2002 282 SF that has 2 areas of yellowing that I'm curious about. The first area is around the starboard side stern cleat. The whole area around this cleat is a yellowish color almost like someone did some fiberglass work and it didn't match right (There doesn't...

    2002 282 Sailfish Livewell pump replacement

    Hi, I am the proud new owner of a 2002 282 SF that needs a few things, including a livewell pump (pump has power, pump not spinning). The pump is the 1100gpm Aerator pump with the white body and red top and single outlet to the livewell. My question is how the heck do you get that pump off the...
