Well it started out promising, The weather was nice. It was sunny but cold. I left my dock at about 9:15 and got to the Greenport area around 9:45. High tide was around 10:00 so we had the outgoing tide to fish. We had four guys onboard fishing many different rigs and baits. Their were Gradys...

I presently have a Garmin 5212 and was thinking of adding a second 5212 but now after looking at dedicated sounders, I'm thinking differently. Today I looked at the Furuno FVC-585. This looked like a nice unit . Does this sound like the direction to go? I love my Garmin but hate split screening...

I have the flush mounted Hella lights on my 2009 Release. One of them is all corroded inside and turned black. It looks like the other side is starting to turn as well. I'm supposed to bring the boat to the local dealer when it goes back in the water for a few minor repairs but I'm wondering...

I just bought a 2009 GW 283 Release and it has Garmin electronics on it. There's no G2 card, Will I need this for navigating or is this for advanced features. :huh My old boat needs cards to run correctly ( 2004 GW 282 Sailfish w/ Raymarine C-80's) Thanks, Bob

Hey Everyone out there with Navionics cards, Check out bouy #16 and bouy # 15 in the Peconic Bay. My card is missing Green # 15, and Red # 16 is marked as Red #15. I also have no data offshore. I called Navionics and was first told that the chip was out of warrenty. So I asked for a supervisor...

My wife and I finally have a free weekend and I want to go to Conn. Thinking of the Mystic area. I know I posted here before about Newport but I couldn't find affordable docking. They wanted 1500.00 for a weeks docking. So we skipped that and went to Florida. This trip is a go weather...

Hi everyone, I presently run 2 C-80's wired completely seperate with seperate antennas. each unit is seatalked to a seperate VHF. The port unit has the DSM 300 and Starboard unit has a smart heading sensor and radardome. I plan on adding FLIR and need a video input which the C-80's don't...

Hi everyone, I have a 2004 Sailfish with a windlass and I can't get the anchor to drop on it's own. The windlass works fine and pays out chain but the chain just piles up on the pulpit. All the anchor needs is a little push to get it to drop. The 2005 pulpit is a totally different design where...

I just bought a set of Taco GS 270 mounts and will be mounting them in my hardtop of my 282 Sailfish. I don't know if I should get 15' or 18' outriggers. Any Sailfish owners out there with suggestions would be great. Thanks, Bob

I'm thinking about going to Newport R.I. for a week next summer (2010) I have a time share and found a few places in Newport. That would be a fun ride from Sag Harbor and I figure i could ferry over to Block Island for a day trip. My question is this, What's there to do in the Newport area for a...

My dad bought a new Yamaha jet boat and I want to get him a very easy to use plotter. It does not need a sounder, There will never be a fishing pole on his boat. That's what my boat is for. All it would need is the ability to store a few routes which I would load before he uses it. The boat will...

I have been told that to install a tilted element transducer I need to move either my SW washdown or livewell pickup strainer back to make room. I looked at another 282 on land at Spellmans and there was a tilted element mounted outboard of the inside stringer between the stringer and transducer...

The reason I put the year is because the Pomanette seat design changed shortly afterwards. :roll: I'm posting this in case anyone else has the same problems. I recently bought the boat and don't know the entire history of it but doubt that the seats were taken apart by the previous owners...

Is there anything I can do to prevent the lower part of the side windows from coming un done? It's not a problem when it's nice out but when it gets snotty it allows water in. The eisenglass is in perfect condition and all the material is as well. It's just the buttons that un snap. I was...

I recently bought a 2004 Sailfish which has the 2 piece smoked plexiglass doors at the dash. I just bought a second Raymarine C-80 and it's tight in there with 2 units. Also the floor level from left to right is different in height. Has anyone on here done this modification. I think it's a...
