    I'm sure it will. When the new owner @ Crows Nest realizes what did..........he's going to regret it. He could/should have handled it differently..........he acted to hastily in my opinion, unless he's got a plan.

    I have a '95 268 Islander w/ twin '95 Johnson 175's. They weigh ~375# ea, boat is rated for 400HP Max. Considering a pair us '99 Yamaha ox66 225's.

    New bow mounted boarding ladder and opening rail

    Very interesting.........nicely done! I'm particularly interested in the hardware you used for the railing, locks/hinges. I bow in at my slip w/o floating docks. At high tide I need a ladder to board. Have seen some boats with the front of the bow rail removed but don't care for the look. If I...

    '95 268 Islander Aux Fuel Tank

    Think I have a bad sending unit for the aux fuel tank on my Islander. I have the fresh water tank and it seems as though the aux fuel tank is under the fresh water tank. There's an access port at the stern of the hatch at the helm deck........if that makes sense. There's another access port at...

    Boat Life Calk vs. Boat Life Sealant

    What is the difference? Are they interchangeable? Deck hatch vs. below waterline through hull opening for transducer install (~1" hole).

    Transducer Install

    Thanks deep.....I am actually replacing a transducer that was already installed, not looking into drilling another hole(s). There are actually 2 transducers in this location w/ both the cables going through the same hole. Guess I'll clean-out the existing hole as best as possible, coat w/ epoxy...

    Transducer Install

    Need to replace a transducer on my '95 268 Islander which has the stepped hull. Currently the transducer is mounted on the "vertical" surface which is approximately 24" fwd of the transom. In this configuration the cable for the transducer goes through the hull below the water line. Whoever...

    Hatch Gasket?

    Thanks for the well written response Dennis. I actually found a ""hatch seal" at a local marine supply store, looked like weather stripping....was closed seal. Didn't buy it, still thinking!

    Hatch Gasket?

    Reason I asked if they were necessary was because my '84 Offshore didn't have them.........

    Hatch Gasket?

    Those strips look like what I'm talking about........mine almost seem to fun the length of the hatch. Are the necessary and can you buy replacements?

    Hatch Gasket?

    Removed the hatches from my '95 268 Islander. Just purchased July '19. Hatch over the main tank had already been recored but the smaller rear one needed re-coring. Found rubber strips around the edges, see pics. Was this from Grady or the PO? There wasn't and caulking installed either.......
