    New Power on my 96 Islander

    Installed the 16 diameter x 15 pitch 3 blade. While hole shot is much better the wot speed went down to 31 knts. The motor now spins right up and easily hits 6300 rpm. The boat was light with no water and only 70 gals of fuel. Added fuel to the boat yesterday. The Suzuki fuel management said I...

    New Power on my 96 Islander

    Years ago I talked to the folks at Powertech regarding a 4 blade for my Ox66250. They had suggested a 15 diameter by 14 pitch. I never followed through with it. As I recall they stated better hole shot and stern lift.

    New Power on my 96 Islander

    First trip with my new Suzuki DF300AP. Never realized how underpowered she was with the original 250ox66. She now cruises at 25 knots and burns 14 gals./hr with 2 people full fuel and water and lots of offshore gear. Hole shot is disapointing with a 3x16x17 Suzuki prop, working with dealer to...

    Easy way to get rid of this mark?

    Any fine grit compound will do then rewax. Did you ever try Big Bite? Easy compound to wheel. Great stuff you get it at Dannys Detail in Riviera Beach. My Islander is a 96 and shines like show room new.

    Totalscan transducer mounting on 1996 Islander

    I'm pretty sure as Skunkboat says, the sidescan feature is lost when mounting as a thru hull. After some more investigation I feel confident about routing the cable through the trim tab pocket on the starboard side. These recesses are huge. Much larger than necessary since they just house the...

    Totalscan transducer mounting on 1996 Islander

    The 96 Islander has the euro transom. The running surface of the hull stops 31" forward of the transom. The design is like a full width bracket. The trim tab pistons sit in ventilated pockets, the vents terminate in the motor well. I was hoping to provide a point of entry in the starboard...

    Totalscan transducer mounting on 1996 Islander

    Presently there is a B744 in a fairing block on the starboard transducer flat. In an effort to keep clean water over the new transducer does anyone have any experience with where to mount and how to route the cable so it is protected and not visible
