    Dirty arm rests

    If your arm rest have mold spots, I have found that the best cleaner to restore the vinyl is Star Brite mildew stain remover. Deep cleans and does not harm the vinyl.

    New here, looking for Grady

    Islander bow thruster

    I had an estimate for my 282 Sailfish. It was 8K - still haven't pulled the trigger. Feedback from boats that have them they really help in wind and current.

    Been a while

    It happens to all boaters, the key is to pick your days and choose days when the wind forecasts are light and variable. I f you are backing into your slip, you may want to consider docking bow first until you are more comfortable with stern first . Even the most seasoned boaters have days at the...

One an inlet for salt water and one an outlet for discharge. both of these seacocks are located under the hatch right outside the cabin door. Check to see if the...

    Anchor Rope Storage Capacity?

    I just replaced mine on a 282 Sailfish and used 300 feet of 3 strand twisted and 30 feet of chain. The bow rode locker was less that half full. Recogizing you do not wat to jamb the locker full, I would guess you could easily do 450 feet.
