    Looking for nav light - Freedom 255.

    The ebay link had more than 10 pairs. If there is more than one LED in the fixture, I would check my connections at the plug. They don't usually all burn out at once.

    2001 282 outboards motor shaft length question

    I think Dennis' point is, that if you know why your boat is spec'ed for 25" drives, you should know why 20" or 30" would not improve anything. Some deep vees running 3 to 5 outboards run 30" in the center, and 25" on the outside, to keep the top of the motors even. Some of the single DV's...

    Rod Holder Sidebar

    I had the same good luck with them. I was going to put one between each existing rod holder, but the hardtop was too tight to the aluminum, except at the corner curves, where I was able to fit two in. Used a couple more on the uprights, not shown.

    Horn replacement

    I believe there was another thread, which went into some detail about the length of the horn wiring, and internal and external accessibility issues.

    Diesel

    Yannmar has made them since the 80's, not sure if they still do. Used to max out at 50 HP.

    Custom rocket launchers for the hardtop?

    magicalbill, I think that if you look a little higher up under the gunnels, you will find another rod holder per side, 3 not 2.

    Bow access ladder from trailer?

    Old post, but I'll play. This popped into my head, as a quick and easy solution, or at least a possibility. You can get this stuff in Lowes or HD, in the electrical conduit aisle, square instead of flat, like this piece. Cut some 14--16 inch pieces, and attach to the winch post with square...

    Custom rocket launchers for the hardtop?

    BTHIANNITTNIANHI But, I see the point of your question. More than half the rods and reels I own have not been on a boat, or caught a fish in over ten years, and many of them never.

    Electrical gremlins/switch panel replacement Sailfish 272

    If your tilt/trim switch quits again, don't forget that you have one on the side of the motor.

    Custom rocket launchers for the hardtop?

    I don't see why you would limit yourself to 5 rod holders. If you look at my crappy OEM rocket launcher above, it would have 5 vertical, if they hadn't angled the outside ones, like they didn't know what they wanted to do. You could easily fit one between each of the 5, giving 9 total. If you're...

    Any Ideas What These Wires Are For.

    Connected to what, the fuse block? What size fuse? Red and black are common colors for VHF, maybe there was a radio up there. Looks like another white wire hanging above, do you know what it is? If not, check it for continuity with the white below.

    228 Repower

    Manufacturers' ratings were based more on the weight of the engine than the power output. You have to look back at those years, and see what engines were commonly available, and what they weighed.
