    Handrails and Rust...... How to address

    Exactly! I saw a video somewhere that discussed this and how to solve it. From what I remember, removing the handle and resealing or adding new screws was the solution.

    Cockpit cover

    Have one on my 330. Zips across the top and the sides. The sides can come off which is nice to block the sun and still allow for airflow. Has held up very well - 12+ years and through some 50-60 MPH nor’easters! Snaps every 12 inches on base to connect to boat. Have repairs a few zippers...

    Fischer Panda Valve Adjustment

    Radar Question

    I doubt anyone was paying any attention on the bridge. They probably would have run us down and nobody would have ever known!

    Radar Question

    I will never own a boat without radar. Years ago in my 272 Sailfish, we were overnighting 30 miles off Ocean City, MD. As we always did, either my brother or I would stay awake and monitor radar closely overnight. Around 4 am, severe thick fog rolled in. About that time, I noticed a signal...

    2000, 272 sailfish compared to a 2001 282 sailfish. What is the difference

    Had a 2000 Sailfish which I purchased new and sold in 2012. Great boat and well built. How do you you know the hours on the OX66s (225s), mine didn’t have an hour meter.

    2006 Yamaha F250 4 Stroke 6 Cylinder

    Forgot to add, after a long day offshore I usually run the engines full throttle for about a minute as we approach the marina. Was told that would help keep rings clean. I don’t know.
