  1. Welcome !

     

    Generator, likely was a Kohler originally. Measure your area, compare with Kohler specs and see if it will fit. That will be about $5K to $7K to get installed (roughly)

    Unless you are very handy at boat building, this is a job for a professional IMO.

     

    Camper Top- for that age of boat, it will be unlikely even Monterey would have original part numbers. So really, your best bet is to have a canvas shop make you

    a new one with supports and fittings that you want. That will be close to $2,500.00 to have one made.

     

    GPS. Measure the area and depth. Look for a flush mount GPS that will fit the space. Garmin makes some good ones. About all you can do.

     

    Radar would have been mounted on the arch, IF it was even available from the factory that long ago on a 276. It's about the only place you could mount a dome.

     

    Good luck with your projects, and keep us posted how you progress.


  2. You may need Kenwood removal keys that came with the stereo. See page 29 for the key picture and page 32 of this manual. on how to do it.

    (The keys are the same for many Kenwood models with detachable face) http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/manuals/113/113kdcx491.pdf

     

    I would suggest replacing it with another Kenwood HU, as you may be able to use the existing wiring harness and be plug n' play.

    Maybe this unit would work for you.

  3. 14-1/4 x 17" would be the right choice. I would get aluminum props to save on cost. The 282 is a heavy boat for Alpha single prop drives.

    It will not pop up on plane all that easily , especially with a full load (but what is that ?)

     

    You will get better hole shot with 4 blade props, but would have to lose some top end speed if you went 4-blade.

     

    Our 282 did great with 4.3L (220HP) V-6 and the Bravo III drives. The 282 really needs the duo prop drives to assist in planning.

     

    Good Luck.


  4. TaylorMade likely made the windshield. Call them. The arch would have to be ordered through a dealer, IF it can still be purchased.

    Your best chance is to try and order both through a dealer. If they can't get them, then it's a salvage yard only.

    And the 298SS was not exactly Montereys' top volume seller, and a 2007 is not that old, so salvage parts could be very difficult to find.

     

    I hope you got the boat for a song, since these parts you need (if available) will be quite costly.


  5. If you are not planning on trailering the boat with the mooring cover on, a "decent" fit would be just as good as a "perfect" fit IMO. You can also look at the different years of your boat model, and see if there are any significant differences between your 03' and other years. I suspect not much difference in overall hull design.
