I got a carver cover last year for my 270. would have been a great fit but the radar pulls it up a bit on the sides

the thread pitch and diameter are identical, but NPS lacks the 1.8 degree taper, so a big tap will make that change easily. Yes it does remove a tiny bit of material but doubling the thread engagement would make the connection stronger, plus now you have threads that self seal instead of...

NPT/NPS thread engagement on left. NPT to NPT thread engagement on the right

Groco not quite NPT threads on left NPS on the right

unfortunately they are not an NPT thread despite being advertised as such..... what they do is grind a 1.8 degree taper -same as NPT taper into the NPS threads. (the tips of the threads are ground down). while this improves the fit slightly, and does give you one extra thread of engagement its...

mines in the driveway for the BC winter too. once I get a few dry days the cover will go on, do a couple of oil changes, gear oil, then onto the list for maintenance related things. I had a great season, logging over 860miles travelled

I had a poorly installed toilet thru hull (from the factory). the inside of the hull wasn't flat where they drilled the hole, so when the nut was tightened it cocked the thru hull. I had to re bed the inside with some epoxy putty to made surfaces parallel., then I installed a new groco bronze...

Im also needing some cushions for my 2004 270 islander. I would have thought someone would have patterns and would be selling them ready to go but I can't find anything

lol exactly!!!!! your right! I missed that the first time... I guess I would have been terminated

im running brand new inertia eco 17"p. they had a full 300hr service this spring. checking the toe is something that's on my list, and I was contemplating raising the engines one hole. cav plate is at waterline while running but making heavy contact, if that makes sense. slip numbers came out...

I replaced my port side scupper hoses with the same pvc Sani hose. may I recommend that you don't try to save the deck fittings and just cut them off and replace with new. or you can try what I did, ignore the same advice someone else gave me, try for 3 hours to save the fittings only to...

thanks for the reply, I should add some more info they are 2012 L6 verados, not the v8's and they have 850 hours on them I do have some poor condition bottom paint on the boat with the odd barnacle im sure maybe in should make a spread sheet RPM MPG GPH MPH as above. FA - that is some...

I just repowered my 2004 islander with twin 250 verados and my mpg isn't as good as I would have thought. what's everyone getting for mpg at cruise/ wot mph and with what props etc im currently getting 1.7Mpg at 30mph at 3800-4100rpm for best cruise when im light WOT of 48mph at around 6000rpm...

where's the access to your blackwater tank? find the tank, then you'll see the vent hose attached to the top of the tank

google "SOUTHCO CONCEALED SOFT DRAW LATCH W/KEEPER"

what model? could be the vent has been plugged with TP. remove the hose and blast it out with a garden hose. find your black water tank, its the 5/8" hose that come off the top. they're not big tanks. could it be that it is actually full and are actually filling normally?

I have a carver over the hard top cover on my 270. fit seems to be the same as KY's Grady... I found the radar dome pulled the sides up too high and there was too much fabric at the transom and it hung down, I think the fit would have been better without radar.

every engine needs its own starting battery (same thing as a cranking battery) then you want a deep cycle battery for the electronics, pumps etc. using a deep cycle for cranking duty or having a long deep discharge off a cranking battery are both very bad for the longevity of said battery. use...
