    Helm Chair Wobble 2006 Sailfish

    My Grady came with the Pompanette helm chairs, I dont mind the actual seat and cannot justify upgrading yet. My issue is that the captains chair wobbles/rocks when running. I have the seat up one level in order to have adequate visibility. It does not rock when all the way down, but then I...

    Helm Fan/Cooling Option

    I have a 2006 282 Sailfish. Love the boat, but find that the helm area gets very hot in the NY summer heat (running, trolling, or drifting). Most of the time I open up the side eisenglass flaps, the angled windows, and (3) rear panels. It still gets hot, especially when running in rougher...
