My model and engine are in my signature, "2002 Grady White Islander 270 with 250 hp Yamaha OX66 " I did speak to Ken at Propgods yesterday and he mentioned the a Mercury Mirage Plus 15 1/2" x 16", three-blade may be a better option since I do not need any stern lift.

If you don't mind, please provide the final price when they're finished.I have an 02 Islander and have been nervous about the same thing happening to mine.

I spoke to Ken because I have a very high slip number. He recommended a Power Tech OFS4 15 1/4 x 16. I plan on ordering one.

In the 2002, 270, those pumps are located in the bilge in the area under the batteries.

It's the same shape as the table and the same thickness of the adjacent cushions. With that information, a local upholstery shop should be able to make one for you.

I love my Islander. I believe that the Sailfish is about one foot wider and one foot longer.

I bought a 2002, 270 Islander with a single 250 hp OX66 this past June. I really like the layout of the boat and the ride of the hull. I have researched the same question that you asked. Most folks will report a WOT speed of about 33 to 34 mph. My WOT rpm of 5,500 rpm produces a speed of 32...

The Anco 52-18 (18") were perfect replacements for a 2002 Islander.

^^^This. Something changed or shifted. It always comes down to physics.

I ended up installing a Promariner ProNautic 1230P. I will provide some photos of the install.

Can you provide some photos of the pulpit?

My boat has a 2001 Charles Industries, 20 Amp, "C-Charger" onboard battery charger that died last week. Charles Industries got out of the marine industry last year so a direct replacement in no longer possible. Therefore, I am going to need to install another brand. I am looking for...

Have you been using your anchor? Keep in mind that the anchor locker drains into the bilge. Therefore, a wet rode will put some water into that front bilge area. I always seem to have about an inch of water in mine.

Isn't it time just to pull the boat and bring it to a Yamaha mechanic? I think that you've been trying to solve this issue for about 3 weeks. I seem to read so many of these posts online with OX66s with folks spending all kinds of time and changing so many components and never finding the...

I agree. My boat is very new to me so I need to do more experimenting. However, one of the former boat owners told me that after he figured out the correct trim combination from the tabs and motor, he got caught out in some really nasty conditions and the boat handled exceptionally well.

I took my new-to-me 2002 Islander out this past weekend and noticed the same thing. Listing to the port side and it really rolled to the port side the first time we tried to accelerate. I then remembered what a former owner of the boat told me which was this: "keep trim tabs all the way up and...

The Owner's manual to my 2002 does not show any valve on that sink drain.

Thank you for the excellent information everyone. I have decided to sea trial the boat next week.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd love to see readings for several manufacturers for boats over a wide age range. That data would be very helpful in decision making.

I received a pre-purchase survey report that included the following information on the transom: "Transom moisture readings were relatively high (25% - 30%) across the entire encased transom. Some moisture is not unusual for vessels of the age. Normal wood moisture is approximately 10 - 15%...
