That's good. Trailers are the most overlooked part of the purchase. I tow 1,300 each way in the Winter. I pay a marina on both ends to pull it off and put back on. My trailer has never been "splashed". I like the matching wheel rims too!

Yes. Pull the receptacle out on it's power cable to get access. I drilled a hole for the Marinco 12 volt connector next to the AC power. Wire down to battery area. Installed a small fuse block to power my kite reels. Take a look at post#3. Excuse the cable mess...this has since been cleaned up...

I'm a new 2014 307 Freedom owner that is trying to run power for my downriggers. Port side was easy. Starboard looked impossible . How did you run the power for your reels on the starboard side? Port side is easy! Starboard side I had to remove the AC power cord connector and snake a wire up to...

I hope you had the wheel bearings gone over before you started back.

I'm a Garmin guy but past experience with marine electronics would have me doing a hard reset (check manual). Re-install all software updates, maps, etc. Reconfigure unit options. Happened to my Garmin Fusion radio and SIRIUS antenna a few times. Good luck!

Upgraded a 1997 268 Islander. Repainted hardtop, tower, console bubble and hull. Kept black door on upper electronics box with Garmin 8610xsv and VHF. Flush mounted Garmin 8612xsv in lower station. Newwire gauge panel and switch panel. Width isn't usually the problem in older boats - it's the...

The long 1/2" pvc runs from fwd to aft bilge. It can be plugged as mine was to keep water (or leaking fuel) from getting to the fwd cabin. The other two circled areas are 3/4" pvc couplings that serve as limber holes. They allow whatever is in the compartment the fuel tanks are in to drain back...

There are so many places that could leak that are hidden. Could be rub rail, windows, scupper hoses, it’s a long list. There is a 1/2” pvc pipe in aft bilge that could be plugged to isolate fwd/aft bilge. May help you troubleshoot.

Both bilge pump exhausts on the Islander are mounted high off the waterline (about 18"). There are no check valves. I have broken both plastic thru hulls off at different times. You should check that as a source of your water. The aft one broke when I stored my power cord and dock lines in the...

Switched haylard locks from Rupp to GemLux. Much better locking and less wear. Same setup. Equal length long/short, cam cleat tensioner, detachable clip to stow rigger lines on hardtop when not needed.

Check the max wire size for the trolling motor connector. You may need to drill out the back to accommodate 6 awg wire. I would no go to 4 awg. Given it's a 40 amp circuit 6 arg and the length are adequate. If you do decide to go to 4 awg you should do a short 6awg pigtail into the connector...

Call Ken at propgods.com with your numbers. He spec’ed mine for the same reasons you mentioned. Game changing improvement.

Grab it with your hand and feel the stepped thickness. Wood under mine! This isn't the most structurally important part of the boat. Fill it with GitRot and get on with it.

My corner bolster that wrapped around was a constant source of brown stain running down inside the boat. When I finally opened it up I found there was a wooden corner connecting the plastic side bolster backing. I fabricated a new corner piece with stainless piano wire and epoxy "plastic wood"...

It would be helpful if you got there refrigerator make and model from the tag inside it. Also look for controls inside in the upper left next to the ice tray (put a photo up). If it's like mine there is a knob that you turn clockwise to set the cooling temp with. All the way counter-clockwise to...

All the wipers I have used on my 1997 Islander were pressed on to spline shaft.

I'm assuming you were able to get the cover up over the wiper/shaft nut (for lack of a better term). The shaft is splined and the wiper presses on. Keep soaking in penetrating oil. Eventually you may need to cut a vertical slot with a Dremel tool and try to split it. That wiper arm is...

If they are the old “school bus” style blades Napa carries them. Only place I found. Windshield wiper blades. NAPA 60-1870 arm and blade. $9.99. Blade only 60-1805 $5.99. Trico 70-180 may work as well.

I have no patience for these AI generated questions.

Poor solution to protect a teak-holly floor. Either protect it or refinish it you sell it. Remember your Grandmother's living room? The plastic over the carpets and covers on the sofa? It just doesn't work. Sand gets in. If you are willing to vacuum underneath every week it will work. I would...
