Thanks everyone and thank you Bob for confirming my seat was factory! When I was at WM the other day I grabbed one of those bushings thinking it had to have had one at some point. Ill keep soaking with PB Blaster but of course Seasick I twisted that nylon knob right off. Fishtales, seems...

I was using the chair the other day as a means to swing around the antenna and the damn thing comes out off the base sending me in the water with the chair in hand. Lucky the pads were on it otherwise it would have sank like my sunglasses did! I cant figure out for the life of me how this...

Do not sleep on this... Mine was in much better condition and snapped in half. Foam core. I ended up buying some generic (wood core) one and slapped that on. I could have contoured the base of it that bolts into the bow but its alright. Sits a little low but the original posts up to the rail...

Agree with family affair and efx. I have a 95 islander and it is too narrow.

honestly I wouldn't know. I ended up putting one through the roller though after losing one of the chocks!

Roger. The only reason I can think they're 10 then is due to the field being so dense and them packing us in?

Terrific... as long as Im on the water.

Thanks everyone so far for the advice. Im going out today consider all of them. Ill measure the mid and aft cleats first for a guide for any new cleats but I have to say I like the idea of mounting new guides in those spots on either side of the bow instead. The pendant lines are 10 foot...

I have a 1995 Islander 268. This past tropical storm that came up confirmed that the current configuration is not going to last. See pictures. It appears the pendant lines from the mooring damaged the pulpit as the boat was bouncing due to there only being one central cleat at the base of the...

Well the SIMRAD is back up. After pulling it all apart and testing each point found that if the inline 5A fuse is pushed all the way in the rubber housing it was losing power. Pull that fuse about half way out and the power came back on. Fun times

Yeah... I have about 3 hours total on her since I bought it last November so haven't had much time being in Massachusetts. Thanks everyone!

My 268 Islander will be going in tomorrow and have upgraded the chartplotter from a Lowrance Elite to a SIMRAD Evo3 unit. The past power cord installation that came with the boat was the basic neg (black) to the battery, red(to the accessory switch). 2 wires. I mimicked the same method here...

Interesting I never really looked into the in-hulls until now and given my use and conditions it may actually be a good fit. I ended up going with a SIMRAD NSS12 EVO3 over the others in part bc it was compatible with the totalscan transom mounted transducer from the lowrance that was also...

Hi Guys, I purchased a 95 Islander this past November and was thinking of upgrading the Lowrance Ti9 Elite on it with a Raymarine Axiom 9. All this to say I was hoping I could possibly repurpose the existing thru hull on it but, the chances of it being compatible with the Raymarine are slim Im...

I just purchased ones recently. Why is the transom door on the opposite side of the ladder? Miffed

Hey Russ, did you end up getting the custom top on your islander? My Bimini top portion ripped 1 week before I picked her up and the seller gave me back 500 to get it fixed so I could get the enclosure up soon but now it's winterizing time up here and I'm researching... Thanks
