    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    I have that plastic lip on my fuel fill. I empty my separator a lot. But I use clear bowl with drain nipple and a small gas line into bottle. It's a lot easier, faster and less mess than unscrewing the non-bowl filters. I've looked into installing an ultra large capacity separator you might...

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    Your situation sounds very similar to mine. I can't understand why every other boat doesn't have the same exact problem though

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    My fuel fill already has the plastic lip on the fuel fill as you show. I use the clear bowl on my racor separators with drain nipple on the bottom. I cut a piece of gas line the perfect length and attached to the nipple so I slide a large gatorade bottle in the bilge floor and open the drain...

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    Makes me feel better I'm not the only one... I run marine fuel and 90% of off season its covered with a laportes cover... I've stored boat with tranks full, empty, non treated fuel, treated fuel, you name it. I'll be back there draining separators or pulling off the small float alarm filter on...

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    I've already done that twice. It's a lot of work to go through until I can figure out why I keep ending up in the same place.

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    Thanks. I have a new gas cap O-ring being delivered tomorrow. I'm hoping the water I'm dealing with now is from the old contaminated fuel I tried to salvage having a lot more suspended water than I realized and it separating out this past offseason. Now that I have all that sealant over the top...

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    Engines are 2008 yamaha F250's with onboard filter with water float alarm. This has been an on-going issue and I thought I had finally discovered the problem - the round deck plates located directly over the sending units were bad and the sending unit wasn't tightened all the way down on the...

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    Has anyone had an issue with their Sailfish constantly getting water in the fuel tank? I have sealed top of tank with epoxy (even over the sending unit) installed new water tight oem deck plates, re-caulked floor panel. I filtered the fuel tanks last season and got them free of water (ran 50...

    1999 Grady 272 Transom

    ^^^ This EXACTLY!! Instead of spending $60k on a 1999 model up that budget to $80-90 and get a truly turnkey 2006,7,8 model that's been maintained and has good electronics and probably repowered F250's or 300's

    1999 Grady 272 Transom

    My advice to you in my 6th year of ownership of a 2001 282 Sailfish I bought in 2018. Really consider what that 2005 will need or what you will really want and add that to the price you are considering paying and see whats available for sale in that price range. There might be a more expensive...

    Replacement cabin hatch for 2001 282 Sailfish?

    Found a serial number when you open the hatch all the way. Contacted Bomar with the SN and It's Bomar N1086-10PX. Can buy it directly from Bomar for $1004.00 with 5-6 wk lead time or order from their retailer, Defender for $686. But, Defender is out of stock and doesn't know when/if they'll...

    Trolling motor install on 282 Sailfish

    I like this concept a lot, thanks for sharing. I like how this doesn't require mods to bow rail or the nav lights. Taking this a little further, this mounting plate could be easily removable if the top plate is made wider than the pulpit, say about 1" projecting on the non-mount side (mount...

    Sorry, I just saw this somehow. But yes, I did reprop with OSF4 17P with cushion lock hubs...

    Sorry, I just saw this somehow. But yes, I did reprop with OSF4 17P with cushion lock hubs. Performance is excellent. Boat will jump out the water and tracks really well in following seas. Lost a little top end but the trade off was worth it. The 250's and 4-blade props are night and day from...
