    Wires thru hardtop structure 268 Islander

    Just did similar on my ‘95 Islander a few weeks ago. As mentioned above, I ran a 10‘ USB-C cord out the side of the hard top electronics box, and through the u-channel that the spreader, E-box power, and NMEA wires run under. At that point, I could get into the starboard aluminum tube...

    Helm seats

    Appreciate the reply. I ended up finding a pretty good picture of the underside of the seat at an online merchant. Looks like they may be removable by un-bolting the plates they are welded to on the bottom of the seat, but that might also be the plate that the flip back mechanism is attached...

    Helm seats

    Thanks to you and Omer for the info and posting your follow-up pics. Have been debating that flip back seat for my 268 for a couple of years, but was never quite sure how they'd fit or look once installed - so just been procrastinating. The new version with the flip up bolster finally...

    258 voyager kicker install

    Obviously not the exact same boat, but had no issues mounting a T9.9 to the euro transom/swim step of my 268. We used the Panther 55-0030 bracket. I did have to cut/shorten the supplied support brace that attaches to the transom somewhat, but other than that, the bracket was adjustable...

    Fridge ?

    I suspect you are right, that is likely what I’ll do In the end even if it means fabricating something myself (its a long winter on the Great Lakes, so nothing but time). Was a selling point when I bought the boat as I thought I’d use it more. 6 years later, not so much, but still...

    Pictures of grady white boat for a shirt

    Did a few shirts for myself/crew earlier this year that incorporated a couple of Grady-like silhouettes. Not sure if they'd be what you are looking for, but you might be able to rework one or both of them to meet your needs. Sent you a message through the forums with my email address if you...

    Radar Arch on an Overnighter

    Depends a little on if you get the "base" arch or one of their fishing packages that come with additional rod holders, radar pads, spreader light brackets, net holders, etc., but anywhere from $800 to $1,200 shipped. The Fish-on-Sports link in my post above should give all of their arch...

    Radar Arch on an Overnighter

    I added an arch to my '91 Overnighter several years ago. Went with a semi-custom arch from Fish-on Sports out of MI. Able to install myself (with a second pair of hands to assist at times). Arch supports thru-bolted to the sides of the cockpit and came with backing plates...

    Electronics Package for Seafarer GPS-fishfinder?

    I'll gladly 2nd Dstarok's recommendation of Gil (aka semperfishing). Used him last spring to order all new Gamrin components when I rigged up my Islander. Incredibly helpful and answered multiple questions I had prior to purchase. He also made several good recommendations that I hadn't...

    Kicker motors

    Unless you plan to add a kicker merely as a backup for getting back to the dock in event of some main motor issue, you'll definitely want some way to link the kicker to your main for steering purposes I've had a kicker mounted on my last two Gradys. Old Grady was a 204c Overnighter with a...
