Just send me your GPS coordinates of where you are and I'll take care of the fish!!! :lol: Nice catch!

I replaced mine this past spring. Not too bad to remove once you know about the hidden screws! It's amazing how many different colors of "white" there are. If you are doing all of the upholstery it probably doesn't matter too much, but I was keeping my seat cushions and wanted to match as...

I had the same problem on my Marlin a couple weeks ago... ended up taking the floor section up so I could get in there to put some umph into unscrewing it... I used a pipe wrench to turn the pump... they didn't have to be replaced, but while I was in there, I replaced all the water hoses and...

I'm almost glad I lost my "stock anchor" last year... It would regular break loose or took a lot more scope to set then it should... I replaced it with a 22lb Lewmar (Delta) Plow Anchor... I put on 50' of chain and re-used the existing 3-strand... This combo hooks and holds in anything...

I took several parts of my holding tank apart over the winter... Important!!! Go to the pump out station, pump and flush it several times first!!! On top of the holding tank is the level sender... it removes fairly easily with a few bolts... it will have two floats dangling from it... they...

I had the same thing on my Marlin when I bought it (used)... the boat was "detailed" before I picked it up... they didn't thoroughly remove whatever they used on the aluminum pipes to clean them... for a couple weeks after it rained I got the streaks... I've switched over to using woody wax...

An ounce of prevention... I picked up one of these... wroks great for unsnapping the canvas to prevent the snaps from popping loose... http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Top_Snapper&i=72146&merchID=1006&r=view An occasional shot of WD40 or Powerlube on the snaps will...

Just a heads up... I am thinking about adding a 4212 also... The GPS and VHF are supposed to be separated by 12 inches... Most likely due to the interference caused when broadcasting on the radio... I don't really have the space to separate them more then about 6 inches... Maybe there is...

This is the model I bought... http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|51|806|315133|823306&id=678987 I had the extra room so I went with the "household" bowl instead of the compact (probably not much difference in size, but...) It uses 1-2 quarts per flush according to Jabsco. The water...

I lost my oil pump two days after buying my Marlin which had sat for about a year... water had been leaking around the bait well and dripped onto the pump itself... had to have it changed at a marina since I was on my way up the intracoastal... they changed the filters at the bottom of the...

I converted my "Jabsco electric head conversion" to a real electric head last month. Got tired of it not working consistently. It would seem to jam or stop for no reason. Bought the Jabsco quiet flush with the fresh water intake. Seems to be a MUCH better designed system. A lot more work...

If you can't find them via Grady, I ordered a set from eBay... they are still selling them... search for "grady white decal" if the link doesn't work...

Might want to ask about the cost for the local sign shop do the install too... it's can be tougher then it looks to get the stickers aligned and straight without bubbles and creases... if they mess it up, they get to redo it at their cost... if you do the install, try "sticker on" from west...

Borrow a friend's kayak or little skiff and tie it off to the back of your boat... with the motor trimmed up, you should be able to easily adjust the trim tab... Not likely you have air in your lines... When my system did, I could turn the wheel and turn the wheel and eventually I would get...

I believe 8' 6" is the universally accepted width without needing a permit throughout most all states. Some states are more particular about pulling folks over then others. Officially, you would need permits in each state you went through... a royal pain and adds up... I briefly looked into...

Re: how to change gunnel cushioning in my islander268 back d Look behind the gunnel for the end of the screws sticking through... I found a couple of these the hard way while running some lighting...

A good friend of mine owns an upholstery shop. I used his "snap tool" along with several handfuls of his stainless snaps... (cost - twelve pack of Coors Light) The tool was MUCH heavier then the normal ones from west marine and other stores... It has an adjustable stop for different...

I replaced my running lights with LEDs from West Marine. They were close to the same profile as the original, but enough difference an extra hole had to be drilled. I got them for less then $100/pair. I haven't swapped it yet, but I also bought the LED all around light from Overton's for $59...

Yep... I took the easy (and cheap) fix as Marty stated and disconnected the "park" feature on my wiper motors... the two motors went bad about 6 months apart... worst part when the park feature failed on the last one, it started the wiper motor and it ran until it killed the battery!
