    Rebedding bow rail mounts on a 1996 268 Islander

    Are your mounting flanges loose or leaking. Mine were leaking and I would always have wet carpet and contents in the bow. Cauked the flanges best I could. Better but not 100%.

    Not enough power?

    Wow never thought my post would cause so much debate. The 268 Islander is a long narrow beam heavy boat with a relatively deep vee hull. It takes a lot of HP to push it. When I purchased mine it had a Salt water series 2 single 250. I managed. I have been running the boat since 2006 with 2 new...

    Raymarine A65

    Pop the power cable off the back and check for power at the pins. If none trace it back. Is it the kidney shaped machine? If power is present you might want to replace it. I have a 2006 model A65 its still going strong. We had another one on our crab boat and it died two years ago

    New to me boat

    Kyle I have the same boat. Southfork above is spot on. Aside from the bow eye I have experienced all of your issues although I caught them much earlier and was able to repair and control the intrusion. Look at your stringers and bulkheads where the deck plates attach. Compromised seals and screw...

    intermittent complete power loss

    Suzuki wiring diagram in engine manual shows fuse as 30 amp. See Skunkboat's post and diagram of April 27.

    intermittent complete power loss

    It is fine small wire. I opened the fuse holder and its a 30amp for sure.

    intermittent complete power loss

    Hey Skunk, cant get this out of my mind, those hot and ground power wires are no more than 18ga. Why would Suzuki install a 30 amp fuse on such a low amp carrying conductor? Any thoughts?

    intermittent complete power loss

    Thanks for the insight. I have made the corrections to my network and pulled wiring from battery to new connection on Suzuki harness W and B wires. What size fuse was used on that white wire for circuit protection? Thanks in advance.

    intermittent complete power loss

    Skunk did you ever verify your wiring? I split my network and ran a dedicated clean power source from the start battery. Suzuki C10 gauge and engine interface only are active when key switch is on.

    intermittent complete power loss

    Skunk your AP's are fly by wire? Check your ignition switches and see if they grabbed a power source at your helm. My Engine gauges are veiwed through the MFD and Suzuki/Simrad Is35 gauge via the nmea2k network which is powered through the ignition switch. The ignition switch grabs its hot...

    intermittent complete power loss

    Since you lost all electronics as well as power, check your power path from batteries to helm. Helm power is protected by breaker in battery compartment near selector switch. If this power is interupted it will kill your motor and electronics.
