Great job. I have the 1998 Islander and I'm looking to have one installed just deciding if horizontal or vertical. ( I know the thread is old but i could not resist)!!!

I Have a 268 Islander and the trailer measures 36' from the coupler to the end of the bunks. I would like to trade for a smaller trailer (w/ the right length and weight capacity) I'm in Palm Beach, (the trailer is also in PB)

I have a 36' coupler to end of the bunk triple axel trailer that I'm looking to sale or trade for a smaller one (my boat is 27ft). If you still looking just make me an offer or come by w/ a smaller trailer (mine is aluminum 6 1/2 beam and has no brakes).

So, if I don't get this, how would be the "system" w/out a controller?

I would agree w/ you if I used the boat a lot more. I'm looking for the "charger" to work during the periods when the boat is on trailer (3 months last time)) as well as the " few" times when we stay overnight (weekends) on board, that's why people use the maintainer, Right?

Understood, but my situation is a bit different. Boat stays on the trailer but at the location there is no way to keep a electrical extension feeding a maintainer; rain gets on the bilge and the pumps do their jobs, because of that , battery goes w/out charge. ( reason for a solar...

Hi . Went to look at the Battery Tender on Amazon and the reviews. are good. The only issue is: What panel should I buy for it ? Maybe that will be the solution.

Thanks, so you understand my problem !!

Hi Dogdoc. Thanks for the reply. What I have is two(2) batteries (house/deep cycle and start) and the whole idea is to maintain the deep cycle charged because it gets very low due to the bilge pump and rain. the other situation is the distance between the batteries and the hardtop, what do you...

I have a 168 Islander and would like to install a solar battery charger /maintainer. Does anyone here have one installed? How difficult was to install it? What brand would you recommend? Do they work fine? Thanks. PS: I'm thinking to install the solar panel on the hardtop .

That's correct !!!

Yes. I called the Suzy dealer and found out they are heavier than the Yamis, so, I will try to find twin optimaxes or E-tecks ( I l8ike two stroke because of the maintenance (not too complicated)

Welcome !!! I* also have a 268 Islander (w/ a single F250 Yami), new to me and very few hours used since i got it. Already fixed the cover above the spare tank and still have some stuff to do but for the few times i used it , it's a good boat! My next project would be selling the 250 and getting...

I have a 268 Islander that has no windlass. Looking at the chain/rope storage space I found a wire w/ a " windlass". tag, probably from factory. My question /questions is/are: What brand would be better for it? (Lewmar or Maxwell). Shall I use that wire for powering it? Shall i use chain only...

Well, Yes I do not intend to discharge inshore, I know that one must be at minimum of 3 miles out for discharge, my question was more to do with intake because would be a pain to be going to the seacock at any time someone would use the toilet. Thanks guys.

Thanks. I will try to see if the problem is w/ the seacock or the pump. By the way. do you leave the two seacocks valves always open or open and close as you need ?

That's what i was thinking. I will try to check the seacock this weekend ( boat is on the trailer), but if is a blockage i will deal w/it and anyway replace the pump. Thanks very much

Ok. Let's start for what I forgot to tell. The boat is a 1998 268 Islander. The toilet is a Jabsco 29020-2000 Manual toilet standard bowl ( hand pump ). There are 2 Seacocks under the stairs (one for inlet on the starboard side and the other on port side for the discharge). If I drop water from...

Yes it was !

This past week end I went to the water and tried to check the condition of my boat's Head. The jabsco is the type w/ push pump and it uses sea water for flushing. I started opening the valve under the stairs for the water to come in and nothing, then i dropped some water from the sink and the...
