We have an 05 Sailfish 282. The forward bilge pump went out. It is an Attwood V1250 and states "Fuse - 4 Amp" on the top. This corresponds to breaker on the dash which also states "4 Amp." The problem is that all the replacement pumps require a 6 Amp or higher fuse unless I drop to a 500 gph...

It's time to recover the v-berth and mid-berth cushions on our 2005 Sailfish 282. The local yachtbedding.com (and every other place I've checked around here) quotes $1200 plus change. Does anyone know a place that already has the pattern and can just sew us a new set of cushion covers in...

My fresh water pump will activate when I flip the switch. It fills the lines with pressure then goes off. Even without turning on any faucet, the pump will reactivate for a second or two after a few minutes. A few minutes more and it will reactivate again.....etc etc. Does this mean I have a...

We have an 05 Sailfish 282 and are going to replace the enclosure. We're considering a polycarbonate front windshield with strataglass on the sides (with smilies). Is there an advantage (or disadvantage) of having a single piece polycarbonate windshield across the front versus splitting it like...

I ran out my anchor line on dock to mark it and give it a fresh water rinse. While pulling it back, my Lewmar windlass (2005 version of V-700) began to run slower and slower. I paused it a few times but it would resume at the same speed it was paused (It didn't increase in speed at all after...

Any ideas why would the spray on the port side is higher and farther than starboard? Trim tabs retracted, boat level, smooth water, engines synched, engines aligned on recent service, two people on board and equally balanced off centerline. Difference is constant at speed. Is this an issue or...

2005 Yamaha 250s with the round guages. My GPH works sporadically and MPG shows 0.0 continuously. The trip meter also stopped working. All three worked prior. Any ideas on where to begin? All the other guages work fine. Thank You......

Is the Honda E2000 generator sufficient to power the water heater on our 05 Sailfish ? I assume I can buy a power chord to run from the generator directly to the boat's shore power plug? Anyone use this set up? How well does it work?

If a boat is in a slip and connected to shore power, is there a danger with leaving the water heater on during the week? I've heard it isn't good for the heater to be turned on and off frequently. But is there danger with the heater on an unattended boat for a few days?

We have a 2005 Sailfish 282. The boat came with a Shurflo Bait Centry 1100 which screwed straight into the seacock. The Shurflo just died so I purchased the Jabsco Cyclone as a replacement. The Shurflo is all plastic and is very light. The Jabsco is 7.5 lbs and has a bulkhead mounting...

I have a 2005 282 Sailfish and want to get a new Lewmar Delta anchor. We currently have 1/4" chain and 1/2" line. The delta 14lb would match our 1/4 inch chain but then the anchor is at the very top end of the size chart for the 28' Sailfish. I'd like to get the 22lb Delta (which is on the...

Thank you for helping with my bilge pump....Now on to my next electrical puzzle piece, the cabin lights. We have a 2005 282 Sailfish. The interior cabin lights (head, mid-berth, over galley and on starboard bulkhead). Don't turn on. The bulbs look fine. I replaced one to check. No luck. I also...

We have a 2005 Sailfish 282. The forward bilge switch at the helm doesn't illuminate nor does it activate the pump. Pressing the float switch doesn't work either. I'm guessing it's the fuse. The manual states the fuse is located in the Accessory Panel but of course, I can't locate it. I imagine...
