I see what you're saying. I called my somewhat local dealer today and the awesome guy there I used to deal with is no longer there and the current person didn't seem interested in helping all that much. So I'm waiting a call back. Not so worried about the seal as I'm sure I'll fabricate a way to...

Looking for an addy bench seat tray for a 2001 282. A few guys in here have it on there boat and was wondering if anyone had a part number on it?

Glad to see you got it done! Honestly until you dive into it, you're not sure what to expect. But now that it's done you'll have added one more thing to what you can do. If possible try to get another clamp on that hose....both ends pump side and thru Hull. Always good to have for added safety!

I would be very concerned with the aft bilge area. Bow eye, I would look from the inside and if it checked out then it's of no concern.

That's what I'm looking for. That area of the step. I currently have a 6inch access plate and going to install an 8inch speaker. It's not the best picture but I've circled the area I'm referring to.

I agree. But was just curious of the actual speaker installation on the steps/walk around itself.

Reviving an old thread. Do you happen to have an pictures of the 7.7s installed in the steps of the walk around? I going to be installing mb quartz 8"(good deal on a used set) in the exact location and wanted to see what others have done. I currently have 6" access panels there, so I'm assuming...

I know it's been years on this question, but I was searching for something else and came across this. Hope my answer finds you if you still need it. The wire runs behind the aft berth from the starboard to port side. If you take the large access panel out in your aft Berth, and stick your head...

Let's all hope to have a productive and enjoyable boating season this year. Regardless of the price of gas, it should make each time out there more of a blessing. Side notes I'm curious on what the new regs are going to be with fluke and seabass. Heard a few different options are in the works...

You can definitely do that if you stagger the butt connections, make sure it's done neatly and don't be afraid to use liquid and fabric electric tape when it's done. Another thought would be to get a water tight terminal block or wire hub, sort of like the one they use when splicing transducer...

I have a 282 and I'm guessing the set up is similar. If the pump is running you either have a water leak on the pressurized side or a air leak on the neg side. If your sucking in air on the neg side your tank will still be full even tho the pump is trying to prime up constantly. If it's the...

Over 5 for 93 at local stations in Brooklyn NY, by time boat is ready to get filled I'm probably at over 7 on the water. That's almost double last year's price. Not complaining, but it's the facts.

I replaced wm group 27 with optima bluetop, the blue tops are a lot lighter and a tad smaller than wm

batteries would only last me 3yrs on average, so I finally bit the bullet and went with optima blue tops last year. I'm hoping to get 5 yrs out of them. Honestly not that much more than the wm AGMs I've been going thru.

When I'm due for a transom rebuild I'll have it glassed over like fishtales above. That's exactly how it should be. Still drives me nuts considering how much I love everything else about these boats.

Yes that angle is much better. At the end of the day it all depends on what your needs and wants are. For me I go tuna fishing a few times a year and couldn't imagine fishing without them. But again that's just me and everyone fishes differently.

I always thought hardtop riggers we're better, especially considering that those holder/riggers take a spot where a pole could be. Your current riggers look a bit high on the angle. You get much more flexibility and convenience with hardtop riggers, with multiple angles depending on the bases...

I agree with everything said above, some great advice. Just to keep in mind even with my f250s I can just about hit 45ish give or take wot. Sometimes the added weight just isn't worth it. Those 200 zukes would be cheaper and lighter for almost the same exact performance!

for reference I have 2001 with f250s as well and my insurance had no problem with it. My scuppers do sit at the water line. Performance for me is great, but I honestly don't think I would be less happy with 225s. Also to keep in mind didn't the 272s have the keel running surface cut short...

This is for a 2005 but I think 2002 and on is the same
