So my macerator pump does not work, hasn't since I bought the boat. Before tearing into it, I'd like to pump it out at a marina with that capability. My question is, do I need any adaptors or hoses for this, or do you simply but the pump out station's hose in the access point and it pumps it out?

Lost my anchor this past weekend. I do not recall the exact size I had, but it seemed small for the boat. What size/type of anchor would you all recommend? This would be general purpose (soft sand to mud to hard bottom). Thanks in advance.

So one of the many things the surveyor listed for me was the battery terminals need to be covered. Unfortunately the ones shown do not cover them properly. Part of the problem is that there are multiple cables/wires going to each terminal. What are you guys using to cover them?

So in the mid berth there is a removeable panel in the floor. There is a nice space there for storage, but it has signs of water getting in there. I was taking a closer look today and I notice the two floor drains in the cabin drain directly into this area, no hoses, nothing. Is this normal, and...

The surveyor listed that my 282 required placards (oil Discharge Prohibited, Garbage Discharge, and Waste Discharge). Do you all have these on your boats? Is this something the coast guard looks for?

So what are your must have tools on board? Doing this for myself, as well as others who look around for this information.

03 282 with original engines and gauges. When I purchased it the gauges were unreadable. I sent them to a place to get refurbished. They did a great job and they look and work perfectly except, the starboard tach has the trim indicator shows the motor trimmed up all the way and does not change...

So I came across this idea which gives me navigation and saves me a lot of $$ verse a second graph. I hope this can help others.

I have an 03 282 with twin 225 Yamaha 4 strokes. Been working on it since I purchased it so it has not been in the water yet. I was wonder if any one have some base fuel usage numbers. I understand there are a lot of factors such as weight/load, weather, etc. But just looking for a basic idea...

I am replacing the gauge and switch panels in my 282 and I was wondering if anyone had a lead on where I can find the seals that were on the original ones.

One of the surveyor's comments was I need to add a bilge high water alarm to my 282. So, anyone have suggestion on a easy to install high water alarm, and where to mount it (how high is high)?

I could really use some input on graphs and transducers for our 03 282 we just got. My experience is with 2 boats over the past 14 years in freshwater and inshore. During this time I used Lowrance graphs and transom mounted transducers, with 2d, chirp, down and side imaging. The 282 came with...

Ok, I am looking for input; one of the things the surveyor found on our 03 282 was moisture at the mounting points of the trim tabs. He used a moisture meter and mallet to check the hull. Besides the meter and mallet he pointed out the rust running from the mounting screws. He indicated that it...

Do any of you have some type of cell signal booster on your boats?

So I've seen some thread here about them, and my starboard one is bad, so I figured I'd do them both. So far the only place I can find the brass tube is on ebay and they are asking $44 each.... Is that a typical price for these?

I've owned a couple boats before the current Grady White and I did a lot of work on them myself. I often used 5200 or 4200 depending on the application. Since joining this forum I see a lot of comments that seem to suggest not to use these, and there are better sealants out there. My questions...

How do you remove the baitwell drain fitting? It looks like there are 2 indentations on it, what type of tool works on this?

Ok I didn't want to derail the discharge thread, but while looking at my holding tank I saw these two items. I believe one is a pump, but for what, and the other black box, what is that?

Ok in Texas you have to be 3 miles offshore to discharge overboard. But I got a question, on my 282 where does the discharge exit the boat? Looking at the owners manual it seems to show every through hull and none of them are marked as discharge. I'm going through this boat head to toe and...

Got a buddy that is helping with redoing some of the seat cushions. Some are just missing the snaps, is there a standard size for these?
