It is a 1998 Islander 268, with a ox66 250 HP. It has two batteries, one house and one for starting, no difference in either switch position. The power trim works at the trailer switch. Looked at motor mounted fuses, Two 80 Amp and one inline in the fuse box, none looked burnt through. Does the...

The trim around the cockpit recesses for the boat hooks, and aft seat bottom is worn and discolored. Does anyone know if this is available online in bulk? Along with the plastic "rivets" that secure it? THX

Had a great summer, no issues. Went to pull boat for winter and no power at the helm, no reaction to ignition switch, or power/tilt on throttle. Battery's are fully charged, all other electricity works fine (fridge, electronics, lights, pumps). Checked fuses all look good. Any clues on where I...

I've had the same boat (1998) for 10 years, absolutely love it!! Located in Shelton, CT

Thanks for the guidance, I'll keep with the existing inline filter model.

How do you determine the proper Water separator sizing for a 1998 OX66 250 HP? Is it based on GPM of fuel flow, micron size? Trying to ensure I don't replace the element with one too restrictive. Thanks.

Have a 1998 Yamaha 250 two stroke, generally runs well. After a 10 mile run out into the LI Sound last week, when we got to our location, it would not idle. Limped it home, and it will not maintain idle speed below 1300 RPM. Changed filters, ran a slave fuel tank. Mech says fuel pressure drops...

Thanks - The_Chain, great thread, will let you know how it works out.

1998 Islander 268 with OX66 250 engine. Recently after getting on plane approx. 4800 RPM, 29 MPH, engine will drop off 200-300 RPM, and after a few seconds speed back up to 4800 or beyond. This happens without moving the throttle lever at all. It has started doing this consistently 95% of the...

My Yamaha 250 stopped indicating speed and distance covered. Any clues on how to troubleshoot? Guage still indicates 18 miles, but never increases. Worked fine until recently. :doh

While cruising in open ocean, to keep my Islander 268 straight, I have to turn the wheel counterclockwise every few minutes repeatedly the entire trip, and never run out of turns. I have bled the system, but have the same issue. Should I look at the helm pump, or cylinder as culprits? Steering...

Had similar issue last year on my 1998 OX66 250. Got up on plane, up to speed and engine would drop off about 1000RPM, got progressivly worse to the point where motor started stalling at idle. Changed out 3 low pressure pumps, runs like new.

I am trying to connect a new Raymarine 125 PLus GPS antenna to my Raymarine A70D Chartplotter/Fishfinder and cannot make it work. I have the power and ground figured out, and the antenna blinks green every 2 seconds, showing it has a fix and NMEA Connection. I am not using a SeaTalk network...

Seems a bit high, but it is variable and dependant on location. I keep my 268 Islander in Shelton, CT, for significantly less, more than $1K less in fact. I'd recommend shopping around. A consideration is if you perform maintenance on it your self over the winter or not. Keeping it further from...

I called them and they told me they do not make one for a furuno to Raymarine B744V conversion.

Thanks, I will call them tomorrow.

Thanks I will call them. I do not know the manufacturer of the seat, but great tip :wink:

It scared me as well, but I did it last year, take your time and it is no biggie. I am replacing mine again this week. I learned the hard way that each transducer matches up to a FF or chartplotter,and each plug may be different. I am removing a Airmar B744V for a Furuno, and will be selling it...

One of the spring hinges on my electronics box has broken free from the attachement point. Does anyone have experience changing out these spring hinges?

The seat swivel on my helm seat is worn out. The plastic bushings that run fore and aft have disenegrated. Are recommendations on where to go for a new swivel and slide?
