How many clamshell pickups do you have under the boat. Most have two. This Pentair is a bait well pump (centrifugal). You probably have a ShurFlo for your wash down. I don't have any experience with the Pentair Bait Sentry pump. Airlock problem may be unique to this pump.

It's not that hard... No access to fuel fills, main tank can't be removed without cutting bulkhead out, even with bulkhead out tank can't tilt up without cutting step. But this is a 268 Islander.

I'm not convinced that he has a ShurFlo bait well pump. Maybe a ShurFlo wash down. I have never talked to anyone that didn't have a factory Rule centrifugal bait well pump. And I have never heard of a centrifugal pump that airlocked - diaphragm pumps yes but centrifugal no. It's possible GW...

SP Tanks in Clermont and Patriot in Forked River. SkunkBoat may be able to tell you how easy it will be to replace the tanks. Your tanks are different but here are some things to look out for... https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/268-islander-fuel-tank-replacement.36637/

Lots of variables. Where are you? Do you know if the tanks can be removed without cutting fiberglass or bulkheads? What size are the tanks? Changing all hoses? For that size GW and them doing all the work - $10,000. Tanks, hoses, miscellaneous parts are about $5,000.

Try A&J Canvas in Vanceboro, NC (252) 244-1509 The did a lot of work for GW. Re-using the canvas frame isn't how I would do it. Even if its in good shape its a lot of work to get the glass out. The canvas gets damaged along the way and has to be repaired. Then sew back in where the old...

That's an engineers answer not a practical one. Problem is the high pressure on the clamshell will push water into the pump past the cheap seal. After that the pump is toast. I have also has boat sitting on the bottom at night in the slip sucking sand up damaging the seal and even eroding the...

Different boat and no problems with air locking the pump. What kind of pump and do you have a clamshell water pickup? I'm using the Rule DR47 1100 GPH pump. I have had pumps damaged by the water pressure from the clamshell pickup. Alter a lengthy process and discussions with Rule the engineers...

You are better off without the case. Your call...I'm out of here,.

The camera mounts in the waterproof cases are garbage. Don't waste your time.

FYI - I spent DAYS/WEEKS this past Summer trying to get a GoPro to work as an underwater camera before giving up. Not the right camera - nothing more to discuss...

I setup the battery pack for use on the tournament boat I fish on. They have a hardtop mount and a awning rail for the battery pack. The Max lens covers the area outside the cockpit and plenty back behind the boat. Cockpit anarchy is also covered. It would be best if it was up in the tower with...

While you can buy a large SD card and record all day finding video you want is challenging. I use the Hindsight feature that records all day but only saves the last 30 seconds on the camera. When an event happens you touch the record button and camera will start continuous recording including...

The GoPro camera uses a USB3 connection for power. This is 5VDC. You need a power supply to convert 12VDC to 5VDC. See part below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNQ5JNWZ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_7&th=1 GoPro cameras that are externally powered may overheat if internal battery...

There are a lot of OEM boat parts like that. GW orders a bunch for a model year and the manufacturer makes them. Someone call up 20 years later, the manufacturer doesn't have the license to make the part for you and you won't pay the price for a one-off build. Same with GW. I don't see anything...

Some high stress attachments like cleats, awning track, bow pulpits and swim platforms should be bedded. The constant stress of flexing can "work" parts loose with silicone. I would use 3M 4000. UV stable. Good adhesive properties. And these parts rarely need to be seperated. For things like...

Check kill switch lanyard clipped in. Make sure shift is in neutral. Clip volt meter to ground and small lug on engine starter solenoid. Turn key to start - should have +12 vdc on that lug. Does solenoid pull in? It should because this is how high current power is applied to started motor. If...

What does “checked batteries there good” mean? Tight connections are important but I would bet on bad battery. How old is it? Electrolyte levels?

The reels ship with alligator clips. Cut them off and install the Marinco twist lock connector. These are adequate for medium side electric reels.

Put a picture of your pulpit up. On my islander there were 4 large bolts that had to be unscrewed from inside the anchor locker. And then the rail hardware. Mine was held in with lots of silicone caulk. Go around the edges with a knife for score the caulk. Try lifting from the front first - use...
