I want to install a high pressure fresh water wash down pump in my 2000 Islander and am curious what your recommendations would be for a pump with spunk. She stays on a mooring in salt water so flushing the engine is the main reason I want higher pressure but general washing will also be done. I...

Thats interesting about the 4 blade prop. What were some of the negatives you felt from making the switch? I'm glad to hear that others have experienced this and its not just me. Thanks everyone for all the input.

Thought I would bounce this off of you guys that have owned 25-30' Gradys for a while. I owned an adventure 208 for three years untill this fall, when I moved up to a 268 islander. We were looking for more space and a little bigger boat to handle the chop more comfortably. I powered the 268 with...

HC5345 is Teleflex P/N http://www.teleflexmarine.com/products/ ... ont-mount/ The kit doesn't include hoses due to various lengths needed. If you are going to install auto pilot, you'l need some adapters,but the helm an cylinder still works. This might help...

I had a 1995 208 and when I upgraded from cable to hydraulic, the motor had to be lifted to remove the steering rod.

Has anyone made an adapter and used there cockpit shower to flush the motor? As a guy who keeps his boat on a mooring in saltwater, I'll be attempting this set up this summer. Enough pressure you think?

Hey there, I'm not seeing a ton of rafts mounted on the hardtops in the gallery so I was just wondering where people are putting them? What kind do you have? How about your ditch bag location while your at it. I'm in the process of putting all this together for my Islander that I just got this...

Any idea what your friends fuel burn is and at what speeds??? Considering this set up myself.

Hi all, 1995 208 owner here. I just upgraded from cable to a new SeaStar system on our boat. Havn't seatrialed yet but she feels a lot nicer on the hard. Its a 4hr install for someone who's done it before. So double it if your doing it yourself for the first time. The old cable is routed under...
