I'm starting toi get my head into pre season mode and I'm looking at a serious compounding session on my boat. Last season I found that my buffer ( Makita 7" rotary) is really too big to do the walkaround area on my 2006 sailfish. I'd like to pick up a smaller buffer that will allow me to work...

As I plan out my pre launch chores i am looking at bottom painting as one of the jobs I'll need to tackle this season. Last year was my first year with the boat and the marina took care of the pre season stuff but looking at the bottom last fall this spring I'm going to need to paint the bottom...

I finally took the vee berth cushions from my sailfish over to my local trim shop. He said no problem I just have to wait until he gets through all the other projects he has on his plate. I also showed him the curtain from the starboard side. This is the three piece curtain that is in the head...

My boat was hauled for the season recently and i went and cleared all my gear off earlier this week to bring home and store for the winter. While looking at the hull i noticed this chunk missing right on one of the underwater strakes. I don't know how i managed to do this but my bet is a lobster...

I've been having trouble with my trim tabs on my '06 Sailfish. I lost all function a couple weeks ago while out on a trip, when we got back to the dock i found the 20 A fuse blown. Next weekend when we got back to the boat i replaced the fuse and it blew as soon as i tested it. I didnt have a...

Has anyone fit 2 12' displays in a 2006 282 sailfish helm station?? I have one raymarine E127 display in there now and I'd like to have a second one but it looks to be very, very close on whether or not it will fit. Any suggestions or experience you'd care to share would be appreciated!

On the punch list of repairs that were to be made on my 282 sailfish was the refrigerator. It runs but doesn't get cold. I spoke with the tech after he launched the boat and he claimed that he pulled the unit and cleaned the condenser and it seemed to run Ok after that. I just got back from...

So i've got another question about my new to me 2006 282 sailfish. The boat was launched 2 weeks ago and no one has used the head since. My wife and I spent yesterday at the boat doing some work and she noticed that the holding tank level indicator was showing nearly full. Is it possible for...

I've been out on my new to me 2006 282 sailfish a couple times over the last week. I went out a few miles off the coast today to do a little fishing and ran into a little chop. This made very obvious the need for a new set of wiper blades; the ones on my boat are worse than useless. Before i...

Good evening, thanks to the moderators for adding me to the group. My wife and I are looking for a boat that we can use in the ocean around our New Hampshire home. Id estimate that we are looking to use the boat 50% for cruising and exploring the coast and the other half for fishing. We looked...
