    Dash conversion, Sailfish 272

    Blackpig, great work so far. Definitely keep us updated. Legend, amazing job on that set up! I did something with starboard a few years back as my finished fiberglass skills aren’t the best. Was able to fit a 12 and a 9 axiom in my 282

    Added Deck Drain to Rear Cup Holders on Sailfish 282

    It’s kinda hard to see, but if you look just starboard of the battery selector door, you could see the white plastic thru hull. The two cupholders just above that are tied together with tubing and they drain right out onto the deck. It’s saying it’s too large of a file. I don’t know why this...

    Added Deck Drain to Rear Cup Holders on Sailfish 282

    I did the exact same thing to my Boat a few years back. I tied the tubes in and put a small plastic thru hull type fitting right next to the battery selection door. I’ll try to grab a picture of it.

    2001 helm seat pedestal mount part/source?

    Yes, right right there in the photos below. I never noticed it to be honest and I did. I would’ve tried to source one years ago. I just don’t know how to go about getting another one because it’s a complete assembly at least that white plastic part that tightens to the pedestal.

    2001 helm seat pedestal mount part/source?

    To make a long story short, I’m trying to switch back to my original Helm seat. A few years ago I switched over to an aftermarket at first I was happy and now I’m no longer satisfied. I went to go lay out all the parts in hopes to try to figure out how to put the original one back together as I...

    Sorry for the late reply. Those pictures are very helpful. I do have all the parts and need to lay them out. Unfortunately I need to source the pedestal mount as mine is cracked , photo attached.

    Aftermarket, back to original helm seat

    A few years ago, I had posted where I changed out my original helm seat on my 2001, 282 sailfish. I went to an aftermarket seat, which had the time wasn’t crazy expensive and seemed to fit the look and the feel of what I wanted. Fast forward three years and it’s falling apart, so I’m looking...

    Mechanical vs. DEC Outboard Motors

    I recently went from 2005 mechanical f250’s to 2009 DEC, it’s a night a day difference. I was happy with my mechanical controls, but now that I have DEC I can’t believe how much I was missing. The rpm’s go exactly where you place them without guessing the resistance of the throttle. Just...

    Google Ads

    As others have mentioned regarding new users and ads. Might be a good idea to somehow boldly highlight the homepage (when not logged in). “Join and donate today to remove ads!!!” Something to keep the new users around?

    Scupper hoses

    I may be late to the party, but as others said I had to install an 8” piece plate on the starboard side of my 282, behind the door/transom area.

    Splashwell and Scupper Tube Flare Tools

    I don’t have the tool, but another suggestion is to just oversize the hole, fill with expoy and drill the scupper hole. Never have to worry about tubes again. Just a thought.

    Amazon gel coat close match

    I can’t sean to find the spectrum kits anymore which were easy to get. Since then I’ve been using this in Amazon. Depending on how faded your Grady is, it’s a very close match.

    Can’t reach lower transom mounting bolt!!

    Thank you fellas for the tips, I ended up getting the skinniest kid in the yard and said $30 if you don’t drop it and if you do drop it then run. Got them both lol. I can’t believe Grady didn’t move the pie plates over just 2 more inches over to clear the stringers. Insane. I appreciate...

    Stupid question, but need help

I just wanna make sure I’m looking at these wires correctly as I’ve got 100 other things going on trying to get the re-power on this boat done Looking at the back of the switch panel all the orange jumper wires are power and all the...

    Fuel gauge plug/unknow wires?

    Appreciate it skunkboat, I overlooked the obvious in my original post. In my head the factory 6pin plug (with the 2 dark blue, 1 black, 1 pink, 2 baby blue wires) plugged directly into the old original round Yamaha fuel management gauge/harness (purple, orange, black,red etc). It obviously...
