I have a 2001 282 and would like to know how to replace the macerater pump, any tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks Jay
 
It's actually quite easy. The macerator is installed in the top of the holding tank. There are a half dozen or so slotted screws and the electrical connection is via a small bus on top of the tank. Remove it and re-install in the reverse manner. To save your nose fill it with fresh water and pump it dry first. If you don't have access to a pump station you can pump it out with a shop vac. Just remember to throw out the filter after, it will reek. There is a neoprene style gasket between the pump and the tank which you should replace as it's over ten years old. One of the easier jobs I've done.
 
And about $700 lighter in the wallet.
