Re: looking for carpet, tonneau and rear filler for 282

Hi Fharen, is your aft filler still being made?

I would like a set too.

Please let me know.

Hi, I am interested in an aft seat filler for my 2008 282. How much are they going to cost?

Re: Trailer for 282 vs 272?

Great info that is making me realize that the idea of lake hopping may not be practical with a 282. I will see if we can make the trailer I just bought work and then decide what rig to use to tow it. Worse case, I'll have a trailer that may someday be useful for the next owner. Best case, the ...

Re: Trailer for 282 vs 272?

Wifey's Lexus GX 460. Don't really need a trailer as the cobalt dealer/marina moves her on and off the water through their service center of course! My dream is tow it to the "big water" up north (lake pend oreille where the Navy still test submarine sonar stuff) and take a spin from Bayview to ...

Re: Hi from Coeur d Alene

The maiden voyage was awesome last week. Went for an evening cruise to watch the super moon rise over the mountains. My first twin and have definitely not got used to the extra knobs and control. My last boat (many, many moons ago now) was a 1985 Cobalt 19' so this is quite an upgrade. Boat has 290 ...

Re: Trailer for 282 vs 272?

Thanks for the great information. I am going to pursue plan B: have a local fabricator see if they can modify this one to fit the 282:

Trailer for 282 vs 272?

Hi all. I recently acquired a 2008 282 with twin engines without a trailer. A friend has a trailer that came new with his 2003 272 that I could buy.

Would the 272 trailer be suitable for the slightly newer 282? If not, could it be made to work with minor modifications?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Instrument Lights on 2008 282

Thanks for the replies. I try the arrow on the side to adjust brightness and will take some pictures next time we are out after dark which I hope will be soon!

Instrument Lights on 2008 282

Hi,

New owner of an 2008 282 twin engine here in Coeur d Alene, Idaho. Only 3 of the instrument panel gauges illuminate with the right engine key on. I can not see any removable bulbs from the back side. Do i need to remove the gauges out the front to replace the bulbs?

Thanks for any help.

John ...
