    Backing into slip + fenders

    I put these on my marina slip 5 years ago, Hull Hugr Marina Bumper, Docking Boat Bumpers. I take them off during the winter and they work great and are as good as new. Still carry my fenders for docking elsewhere. I bought them on Amazon for about 30 bucks, noticed now they are 67 bucks.

It is easy to strip the screw hole if it is not exact. Take a pictue and not the position of the wire on the sender or draw a line on the old...

    Hypothetically..would you rather

    I went from a New Seafarer to a New Gulfstream and lastly to a 4 year old Sailfish (in great condition). The transition from the 22 to 23 Gulfstream was dramatic in terms of stabilty and ride. The Gulfstream was of the SV2 hull design and had the wide beam. The Sailfish is a great boat and also...

    04 Sailfish hot water heater question

    My hot water heater died after 19 years and I am considering replacing it. The question I have, has anyone replaced a heater on a 04 Sailfish and if so how the heck did you get the old one out. There are two mouning brackets, one front and one back securing the heater. The front bracket is no...

    Is this normal 03 282

    I always thought it was a grey water storage area from the shower in the head. I have owned my 282 for 18 yeaars and I hve never been able to figure out the grey water system.

    That is tough news but better to know now than to mount two new 4 strokes that add significantly more tourque to your transom and risk a disaster while underway. It seems like the number of transom issue is growing by the day on this site. Hope Grady is monitoring these reports and fixes this...
