    282 Sailfish Bilge - drain issue between compartments????

    This is a strange one. I have a 2007 282 Sailfish and have just noticed that a drain hole between compartments that should be there is not? The starboard stringer that runs next to the fresh water tank has what looks to be a hole, but when I stick my finger in it the hole appears to have been...

    Bow Pulpit Fiberglass Cracks...

    Hello Everyone, I have a 2007 282 Sailfish which I purchased in 2019. The surveyor noted gelcoat cracks across the bow pulpit but said the pulpit was solid and that it was of no concern. The previous owner must have got the anchor stuck somewhere and tried to force it out as the boat came with...

    2007 Sailfish Pompanette seat post diameter size?

    Does anybody know the seat post diameter on a Pompanette seat for a 2007 Sailfish? I'm assuming it is 2-7/8" but not anywhere close to the boat to be able to measure it. Need to order a sliding seat base replacement and would like to install next time I get to the boat but I forgot to measure...

    Round deck plates - pop in or screw in?

    Hello - I’m due for some new deck plates as the 8” pop in round ones I have are leaking in places. The screw in ones look like they would be more watertight than my existing pop in ones but not sure if one has an advantage over the other. In any case only need 2 non slip ones and the other can...

    Deck drain inserts - where to find replacement part?

    Hello everyone - hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The deck drains on my 282 sailfish HAD a small plastic pin that ran across the middle of the opening to prevent larger solid items from slipping in and plugging up the drain. However, 3 of the 4 pins have recently broken off...

    Hairline cracks in forward bilge

    Hello, Just wondering if others have this same "issue" - my boat is a 2007 Sailfish purchased earlier this year. In any case the boat has some hairline spider web like cracks in the keel part of the forward bilge. Never though much of it as there are other similar cracks here and there up top...

    Water ingress in 2007 282 Sailfish

    Hello, I have a new to me 2007 282 Sailfish that keeps getting water in the bilge after a rainstorm. I have routed the rear cup holders to drain onto the deck. This has cut the amount of water approx in half but there is still rain water coming in. It stays fully dry when no rain so...

    Cup holder covers???

    Hello - I recently purchased a new to me 282 Sailfish. The cup holder draining into bilge bugs me and I though an easy solution would be to find compatible covers that can just be snapped on when holders are not in use. Has anybody tried this and found an appropriate cover? Thanks in advance.

    Hello, I am in the market for a 2003 to 2008 282 Sailfish and just trying to figure out the differences (and pros/cons) of the slight model changes within this 5 year period. Based on what I can tell from online listing pictures the aft seating changed in 2005 and it appears that the...
