On my sailfish, I’m looking at the back of the switch panel. I just wanna make sure I’m looking at these wires correctly as I’ve got 100 other things going on trying to get the re-power on this boat done Looking at the back of the switch panel all the orange jumper wires are power and all the...

Just a quick recap, I’m doing a repower and I’ve removed all the old harnesse which were for Yamaha round gauges. Totally forgot about tracing the wire for the sending units for the fuel tanks. I was able to locate them. They go to a switch panel so you can switch from one tank or two tank...

I have a 2001 282 sailfish. I’m here in the middle of a re power and can’t seem to reach the lower inner outboard mounting bolt. I opened the deck plate and can barely get my fingers on it because the stringer is in the way. My fear is if I remove it, which I have to because it’s stripped...

Removing my 05 f250’s (unfortunately had a hole above thermostat housing and by time I realized intake ingested water and hydro locked) mechanical controls , installing 08 f250’s with DEC. I was removing old harnesses and I came across this single plug that was connected to the port motor and...

Hey everyone it’s been a while since I’ve posted (kids,work etc) has been insane the past few years. Anyhow, years back ( 6 if I remember correctly) I had my gas tank lid repaired/re cored with new wood. I noticed this past off season that there appears to be an air pocket forming in one...

Looking for an addy bench seat tray for a 2001 282. A few guys in here have it on there boat and was wondering if anyone had a part number on it?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the true useable fuel amount is for the 2001 282. It's the year with two tanks 150/70

Did a quick search and couldn't find any pictures. Just wanted to see if anyone else has installed foot on their hardtop and how they approached it. Did you end up installing it upside down etc?

I'm debating on raising my companion seat 5 inches and i know I need to remove the bolts from the storage compartment underneath. What I'm not sure of is how to remove the back/bolster that is attached to the port side? Has anyone done this?

I was cleaning my battery terminals on my sailfish yesterday and noticed one of my negative wires was sparking, giving positive feedback which is a no no. Traced that line to the negative bus bar under the helm/steering. There's aprox 11 black wires going to this bar. I removed each one and...

I have a 282 sailfish and while doing maintenance I noticed 2 of the "rivets" that hold the track for the vinyl enclosure had popped or broke off from the aluminum hardtop piping. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

I've done an extensive search and just curious if anyone has the part number to the original/replacement thru-hull scuppers that are connected to the deck drains? I'm debating on using this one: https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/perko-boat-thru-hull-0350-plated-bronze-4-1-4-x-3-inch Thru-hull

I came across a few very old post about the Rod storage - folding cabin rack (6), that was optional on some the Grady's, my 282 included. I can't seem to source them! I know a few people a while back made them. Any pictures installation tips even sketches would be a great help I really want...

I have a jabsco manual pump for my 2001 sailfish, the jabsco model is for the years 1998 to 2007 I believe( light blue sticker). I have a small leak at the top which I understand is common and easy to repair etc. Also the pump has been always stiff to operate and I figured I would need an entire...

I purchased a 2001 282 sailfish a couple of years ago. And since remove the air conditioner because honestly I don't need it here in the Northeast and want to remove unnecessary weight from the boat. Is this worth anything? Model VRP7KGW

I recently had my deck above the tanks redone/re glassed by Crow's Nest Marina in Oceanside LI. They were soft to the point where if I stepped in certain places, I swear I could feel the top of the pick ups. They also installed a new tranducer and repaired some delamination/gel coat above my...

I'm sure this has been covered, but as a friendly reminder check your bilge hose! I was doing some normal work on my 2001 sailfish. I remember going, I'm going to find that leak resulting in water siting in the forward bilge. I believed it was coming from the rub rail, which I still believe is...

This is a picture of the rear access panel of a marlin. Wanted to know if anyone has any more detailed and or interior pictures of this....maybe with it open etc. I'm going to have something similar fabricated during the off season on my sailfish and wanted to see how the inside "lip" is to keep...

Looking to seal the anchor locker as j just installed a new windlass on my 282. Since the windlass is installed over the locker and not on the pulpit any longer I'm trying to decide if I should use the commonly used GE silicone II almond or something else that I found on GE's website called max...

I purchased a 2001 282 last year and it's bothered me ever since that my windlass doesn't have freefall. Takes forever to let line out and does really help with trying to accurately anchor. I believe its original the boat. The tag/sticker in the photo has disintegrated and can't find any other...
