    Reupholstering all seats and coaming bolsters

    Winter project is reupholstering all seats and bolsters on my 2006 282 sailfish. Gentleman doing the upholstery, says he can't do the arm rest on the captain and passenger seats, because its not an upholstery covering. Makes sense. I talked with Grady today, and discovered that arm rest is...

    Jabsco Electric Head

    Finally got my 282 (sold the 257 I loved to go just a bit larger). Boat has a Jabsco electric head which I want to clean. I have the boat on a trailer, so to wash down and flush the head, does it need to be in the water? if not, where does the water come from to flush? thanks :hmm

    Carpet replacement on a trailer bunk

    I want to replace the bunk carpet on one side of my trailer this winter. Rather than dumping the boat at the ramp, how would I jack one side of the boat up about an 1in, so I could pull the bunk off, replace carpet and place the bunk back on? Boat is a 257. tks
