hi guys, looking like its finally time to repower the Sailfish. Currently have Yami F225's (2002 vintage) with about 1200 hours. Looking at either new Yamaha F250's with fly by wire controls or Suzuki DF250's or even the DF300's (only Cdn$1600 more). Not looking for debate on Yami vs Zukes...

thinking about adding a Green Marine fuel whistle to the boat to help signal audibally when the tank is full and avoid any spillage(s). This simple device ($25-40) gets sspliced inline on the vent line (normally 5/8"). i'm 900 miles fr boat and can't easily look for the location of my vent...

my '02 282 Sailfish could use a couple of new capt's chairs and i've seen several other similar posts. perhaps someone that has a line on Grady replacement chairs/seats can start a group buy? any connected volunteer(s)? :D

need some advise on towing. buddy just took delivery of his steel 65' expedition fishing yacht. we've discussed towing my 282 behind his boat and using the 282 as the primary fishing platform while the mothership serves as lodging and kitchen. we're thinking about taking a week for a trek of...

Wipers have been discussed here before and am surprised to not have seen mention of this control/switch. came upon this switch and it looks like the real deal with little "modifications" required to work properly. would fit nicely and match existing rocker style switches. Comes from Exalto who...

tip: check out the following. it's a vinyl coated lead sheet or flexible/formable sheet made from lead. no affiliation or motive other than to share with fellow grady owners what i've used that has helped to make the messy ordeal of an oil change on an F225 much more pleasant and clean. stores...

Q: can i get some comparitive performance #'s from members with same set up? Boat n engines: 2002 282 Sailfish with F225's (15.25x19 pitch SS yami props), usually loaded with 4 people, gear and fuel i usually cruise at 4000 rpm burning 16-18 gal/hr and GPS says 26.3-27.5 knots WOT at 5400 rpm i...

After being visually reminded by dock mate tinstepct clear racor bowls for water--watched him empty nearly a cup of water from 2 racors! I've decided to to go with clear bowls with the drain and swap out the yami or Sierra filters. The Parker Racor or Sierra filters actually fit the existing...

considering adding a small wedge in between the hardtop and under the radome to tilt it forward. i'm finding that the radar misses targets that are in front but catches them when they are along side or behind. not saying it misses everything in front, just lower targets (like boats!), but...

i hope someone with come yami parts experience might help me with this question. i have a single yami key switch that i pulled off my 2003 150hp hpdi engine. would this key switch be compatible with an older vintage OX66 engine of similar HP? say 1999 vintage?

hi guys, my local chandler showed me this sweet little item that will save you from spilling fuel, damaging our beautiful environment, keeping fuel in the tank and not spilling on the gunnel or down the side of the boat. http://www.greenboatstuff.com/grmafuwh.html i wish i could install one...

i was planning to install and replace the 3 boat batteries this coming season from lead acid DC to AGM's. I looked at the boat's charger (fr. Charles Marine) and on the description plate it states L.A. for battery type (lead acid). I didn't want to replace the charger since it was working...

I have a leak likely mid-ship in my pressurized fresh water system on my 282 Sailfish. I'd like to check the connections for the galley sink to trouble shoot that spot for leaks as well as to see why the pressure is poor. How easy or difficult is it to pull out and re-install the frig...

well Garmin has finally said they are releasing their new pump for the GHP10 AP to replace the old octopus pump. I was hoping last May for it but i guess it required more testing than anticipated. Better they figure it out than me trouble shoot the pump after i've put it in the boat. One...

Finally finished the install and upgrade on the chartplotter, VHF and stereo upgrade. Got tired of the small and slow 7`VX1 display, so upgraded to the 12`NN3D. It wouldn`t fit inside console so i had to fab up a flush mount using 3/4" sea foam king starboard. The VX1 displays are used now...

June was the first trip of the season and things looked good. I knew the batteries might need charging since i told my dad to switch them off and he didn't and they after sitting for the winter trickle discharged themselves--but an overnite charge got them back up. Since the boat ('02 282...

Cabelas has these rod holders on sale for $54.88 ! They will match the GW pipework very nicely. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... hasJS=true

how's that saying go, "eyes too big or bigger than the stomach?" i kinda figured the 12" Furuno NN3D display would be too large to fit the helm of the 282, but i figured i'd make it work as 12" is much bigger and thus better than the 8" display (which would have fit inside the helm console...

when i bought the GW282 i thought the stereo sounded crappy. I found the cockpit Kenwood speakers to be fully involved in the disintegration process :x . The old stock Kenwood deck also did not play MP3 cut CD's nor had a front mini jack for aux hook-up and cut in and out at times. Sorry...

Finally getting around to posting a pic of the Taco Alum. Clamp on Rod Holder I installed months ago. Installed one on each side. PS. I really like these as they are super clean looking and the alum. matches the existing GW pipework perfectly. [/img]
