    How to Access Batteries on 2008 282 Sailfish?

    I understand the batteries on the 282 Sailfish are located behind the fold down seat, and possibly under the stern livewell. What does it take to access these batteries? Do I need to unscrew panels, remove the seat or remove the livewell. I am an hour's drive from the boat so I am trying to...
