    282 Documentation?

    When I got my 282 it was already documented and I just transferred it to me. The gross and net tonnage that is listed on my documentation is listed as 8K. I have renewed every year since 2008 with no issues. Not sure why you were denied. This is from the Coast Guard reguirements for...

    Feedback on 282 Sailfish (2002 to 2008)

    Exact same thing happened to me last week. The hot water tank was bypassed to winterize water hoses and the tech just reconnected hoses and never secured them, Normally I do it myself and do not by pass the tank but had just had shoulder surgery so I had it done. Last Sunday the hose let go and...

    Need a plan

    I think I would give a capable Yamaha technician a shot at diagnosing your issue and then make the decision to either repower or repair. Often times Yamaha has a 5 year warranty which would give you the peace of mind that it sound like you need. Good luck

    The wiper is powered by the fresh water pump. The round valve mentioned above acts like a faucet to turn wiper wash on and off.

    I have found that fishing for Bluefin is best when using live bait, macks and porgies and lots of patience.

    800 hours is not really high end for 4 strokes, some commercial guys are running into the 4-5 K range. A friend just bought a 2000 with 540 hours on his for $35K. The Sailfish go pretty quick when listed, particularly for well maintained ones. I would say mid 80s would be the price if the...

    Feedback on 282 Sailfish (2002 to 2008)

    I have an 04 Sailfish with tn 4.2L 250's. It is a great boat for fishing , cruising and an occasional overnight trip. Handle most water like a champ. I regularly fish 20-30 miles off shore and have never had a concern about this boat. The only watch out I could advise you of is the year range...

    On the water impressions of my 228

    Fresh water system has a filter that could be clogged if it has not been used. If the pump is working and pushing some water I would bet it is a clogged filter. Good luck
