Am going to try and replace the worn out cockpit moldings on my 1998 Islander 268. Found a place in NC that claim they have OEM original moldings, and they look authentic. Does anyone know what type of plastic/nylon rivets are used and where I might find them? Thanks.

I have always stored my boat in New England 90% full of fuel. Many opinions differ. What do most folks in colder states do regarding fuel level during storage?

Thanks for the guidance. Did a reset to factory settings, and now it works. Thanks again.

Hookup1 , Thanks for the quick response. Being new to Simrad, can you offer just a little more detail please? Master Reset of the EVO3? OR the FDM on the device list? Much appreciated.

Repowered my 1998 with a Yamaha F250. Installed a SIMRAD EVO3 NSS 9 and a Fuel Data Manager, with Yamaha MFD style guages. The Trip Intel app worked great first trip, showing Fuel Range, and measuring Fuel Economy and storing consumption data. Last three trips it does not record. NMEA Network...

Thanks. I'll be down at the boat tonight and see if the capacity plate is still in place, I don't recall seeing it. I have had good luck with Grady White customer Service for info though. Will let you know how switching back to the 15 prop works out.

Thanks, with advice, we are going to try a 15" pitch and post how it goes. Great feedback, Thanks.

Recently repowered 1998 Islander.

Update, Prop Gods recommend trying out my old 15 inch prop. Will let you know how it changes performance.

Thanks all, great info and I will contact Propgods.com. My old OX66 was running a 15 1/4 x15P prop, had great hole shot up onto plane (perhaps because of two stroke). I still have that prop, wonder if I should throw it on and take her for a run.

Just finished a repower of my 1998 Islander 268. Installed a Yamaha F250 with a 19T 15 1/4 prop. With full gas (134 gallons) I get about 39MPH and WOT maxes at 4900 RPM. Was looking for feedback on if these numbers for speed and WOT make sense. Love the engine, but after coming off 10 years of...

Thanks, I replaced that screen and it did the trick!!

Appreciate the offer to help find a used one. Will see how checking the ground side works out tomorrow, as well as trying to cycle it on and off to free it up. Thanks for all the great advice all.

Thanks, will remove it from the tank and try that method.
