I had heard that the install was a PITA so I had it done for me, and know they used the factory access plate below my transom door and a guy w/long arms :lol:, no new access holes were opened up. The bolts were tighened from the outside. Depending on your transom setup and angle you may also...

I have a panther mount on my Islander, sorry I couldn't find a better photo. We use the swim ladder all the time, and I noticed people would sit on the trash can lid to dry off and then just swing into the boat. Rarely was the transom door ever used so I put the Panther behind it and never even...

$5.00 led navigation festoons??? Let us know where!

Welcome to the forum! Lots of great info to be had here. Check with Beaver Park Marina in Loraine Ohio for a freshwater GW. http://www.beaverpark.com Good Luck on your search. Maybe see ya someday out on St Clair, Huron or Erie!

I have the Teleflex Seastar steering on my Islander. Had the same issue and topped the resevoir at the helm off while turning the wheel slowly to its limits several times. I didn't bother with the threaded connector from the fill bottle to the resevoir, I just used a small funnel. The resevoir...

anyone ever try the "stainless steel bar of soap"?? I have one laying around someplace but always forget to try it, supposedly just rub the stainless steel on your skin under water and it takes smells away.

I have a 98 Islander w/Seastar. Over the years the steering has gotten a little sloppy so I purchased Seastar hydr. fluid and downloaded the fill/ bleed info from Seastar. I have never noticed a hydrolic leak anywhere. I started filling the resevoir at the helm and noticed some air bubbles...

softener sheets may work, I have placed them around the cabin and they seemed to help but ya never really know, alot of factors probably play into it. I have also heard eucalyptus leaves

Its really all trial and error, everytime out. But you will know pretty much what to expect after a while and it will become almost second nature. I generally adjust my motor trim to water conditions to maximize whatever cruise speed I want while trying to lower rpm, and trim tabs to level the...

Acetone on a rag will clean up the rub rail, followed by Formula 303 protectant. I Stay away from Armorall, it only looks nice for about an hour..

If the stain is organic, start with Mary Kate Easy On Off. Its an acid wash product so be careful with it. I put it in an old windex spray bottle and wear gloves, don't inhale the mist and keep it off stainless hardware. Throw out the bottle when finished. Rinse well. Mary Kate also sells a...

Hope we have helped Pedro, this is an excellent forum to learn about your Grady. Try to find the OMC manual that covers your Fichts, the SELOCS and others are not going to be much help. I was kind of afraid of working with mine until I bought the proper manual thru my Evinrude dealer. It...

I would cut the old one off completely using a dremel tool and replace.

Motor must be running to properly flush, to circulate water thru the impellar and around the engine block and out. Never run the motor w/o a water source. I hook mine up to muffs or ears connected to a garden hose, the double outlet style to cover both water intakes on the foot. Let it warm up...

To check the codes hold open the throttle position sensor in the WOT position. (I have used a rubber band if a friend isn't available) Turn the key but don't turn over the motor, the warning beep will sound and then the dash light (engine code light) will begin to flash, count the flashes or...

Harbor Freight An automitive orbital would work well. Spend $$ on microfiber pads etc. No real need for a "heavy duty" IMO.

I'm in Michigan. The first time I used marinesurvey.org I hired a guy in N Carolina to look at a boat for me before I went to see it myself. he called me mid survey with a list of things that would become projects and I called off the purchase. He only charged me 1/3 the agreed on survey price...
