Had that happen with my son's kitchen sink. Granite top, stainless sink and construction adhesive to secure scrap blocks of granite. Heavy garbage disposal. I cleaned it up and 3M5200'ed it back up. Blocked from underneath with wood to wedge it in until 5200 dried. Ask a cabinet guy who works...

Not sure where you are (update profile). Your tanks would me similar to mine. SP Tanks in Clermont, NJ built mine. Certified tank builder who builds for a number of the high end boat builders. Use a tank builder not just a guy who welds aluminum. Roughly $1,500 for main and $1,000 for aux. You...

On my old tanks the saltwater got under the rubber gasket and eroded the aluminum tank. You can/should use a Permatex fuel safe gasket gasket treatment on the tank side. Sending unit is probably stainless and in good shape so its not needed. Also note the sending units are indexed and must go...

My Islander has a recess on the gunnel where the fuel fills are located. Water runs down the boat, drops into this pocket and floods around the fuel fill. Probably makes leaving the fuel fill cap off especially problematic. Apparently Perko has figured this out and ships a 3/8" spacer with the...

I have a 268 Islander. The 270 is the same. There is one garboard plug (never knew what it was called). It's at the transom of the boat. I keep mine on a 1/2" PVC cap attached to my boat keys when it's not installed the boat. The others are probably spares. There are several plugs inside the...

I did my tanks on a 268 Islander. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/268-islander-fuel-tank-replacement.36637/

I fought this gremlin for years until I solved it. Probably o-rings on fuel fills and treating ethanol fuel. I am not using stabilizers and don't fill tanks at end of season. It does not come in thru sending units - would leak fuel if it were not sealed. Pitch boat up high and use a transfer...

On my Islander it comes up the rear tower leg. It then turns forward, comes out and back into the pipe and continues forward. It then pops out for a short run to the electronics box. Not sure where it originates but may be at the batteries.

Best match is Seafoam starboard.

Is this for your VHF radio? The only raising and lowering of my antenna is for bridges and I have to climb out and do it.

Stylish too!

It not designed to hinge up. It's too big! And it will never seal. How ofter are you in there? Just cleanup your bilge and caulk it down.

Not really sure what you are talking about. A photo would help.

Look at the rub rail to see if there is any cracking. If the transom is moving or swelling you will get cracks under there too. Does the aluminum bang cap look swollen?
