    Cabin cushion recover

    I had mine done by a local shop and had them done in Sunbrella last year. The original material used by GW was a mildew magnet. The new stuff has never had a touch of mildew and clean-up is simple with a damp cloth. Well worth the extra bucks for Sunbrella marine material. I used Sunbrella Sail...

    300 Marlin - Gen or not to Gen?

    I have never had an installed generator but can vouch for the Honda. They are quiet, reliable and low maintenance. They provide everything I get on shore power. Hot Water, lights, outlet power, battery charging.

    New (to me) Grady 268. What's the hatch for?

    Holding Tank Question

    When my electric head is full, it will still allow you to run the bowl flush pump, it just will not clear the bowl since there is no more room for it to go down to the holding tank. This past summer I replace my tank monitor with a SCAD tank monitor. It is much more accurate than the original...

    Can’t open cushion

    Not 100% sure I am understanding the situation, but here is a possible solution. If you disconnect the stop arm from the hatch, you can then open the hatch all the way. Once it is fully open the hinge on the hatch is aligned so that the hatch can be removed. This should free the cushion. Good luck

    repowering a 2004 282 sailfish

    Recently repowered an 04 Sailfish with Yamaha F250's and it easily hits 40-45. The fuel consumption wide open is crazy but at a decent cruising speed we get about 1.5 GPM. Plent of all around power. I have never seen a Sailfish with twin 300's but they must fly !
