as far as being waterlogged, I hope it isn't. i did a lotta research as to the history of this model and year. i looked, sounded and checked to the best of my knowledge the condition of the hull and transom. i find it amazing that I've got cobwebs in the bilge. she's been dry as a bone all...

when i bought the boat the owner (seller) said it tends to lean and i should keep the forward tank full to help steady the ride. the one thing I've found is when making a turn the outside motor tends to increase rpms while the inner keeps rpm stable. this boat is the first twin outboard I've...

the boat just starts to roll towards one side or the other. maybe dependent on wind? but even on flat water shell do it and to make even the slightest adjustment with trim tabs it rolls to the other side. may be the additional weight , Garmin , two radios, Furuno all on the hard top could add...

Im in the shrewsbury river and usually get out to sandy hook bay. Ive been off the hook a few times. Back up river and in the bay usually conditions are quite calm last time out we had quite a breeze pushing swells 2-4 ft but nothing crazy. even on flat water at 2500 rpms she tends to lean...

thank you for the efforts sir. I'm running two yamaha 200 hpdi motors mounted directly to he transom no special hardware. I've tried tabs up, tabs down, motors trimmed up a bit too she gets up and goes no problems but it don't take much to start leaning. I've been out with just one passenger...

scary stuff rolling to one side or the other even at part throttle. trim tabs seem to be less than helpful. It appears to me the islander hull is deep vee while not as broad of a beam as other models. anyone else experience the same problem?

i have cleaned the plug connections and the grounded side as well thank you. the switches look like they need a good cleanup, that's my next effort

No sir one button at a time. I was able to stroke both tabs individually at the dock without blowing fuse. not sure how much travel is adequate but each side moved about three inches.current draw around 2.5 a. does the pump work harder to move both at once? Add solenoid power draw for both at...

My trim tab pump keeps blowing fuses making me crazy. I've checked the switch, the solenoid function as well as tab actuators. there is oil in the reservoir but tabs generally are hit and miss.
