    Name placement - transom or side?

    if your boat is CG documented the port is required to be on the stern.

I am in Massachusetts...

    Fuel usage numbers, 282.

    ="Peterb21, post: 249079, member: 29037"] I’m curious why you had to repower? How many hours did you have on the 225s? The 04 f225 had about 900 hours on them - they were great engines and never had one issue. I routinely Yamaha exhaust had the engines scoped for the exhaust corrosion and...

    232 vs 228?

    2002 282 Sailfish Holding Tank Pump / Macerator

    Nice job - totally agree with the existing opening being too small. If you are lean enough to squeeze into the opening be prepared to come covered in battle wounds from the raw fiberglass edges of the opening. You would thing given all the mechanicals in that hole GW would have made a decent...

    Many new boats have some imperfections that once identified are taken care of by then dealer. Have not even heard of many issues that needed to be elevated to GW. Have you tried to elevate the issue with GW management? May be worth a shot.

    Getting ready for re-power,,,, finally!!!

    Love the sleek look of the new digital control! Good luck with the upgrade. One big mistake I made when i upgraded to 4.2L engines, I did not install a new transom cap when the old engines off.
