    Flush cockpit drain

    Anyone know of a flush cockpit drain that has a removable flared top? Too hard to get under to tighten from the bottom. I would like to tighten down from the cockpit with hose already attached.

    Garmin Navionics Vision+ Shaded relief vs. CMOR shaded relief

    Did a quick compare of Garmin Navionics Vision+ Shaded relief vs. CMOR shaded relief. I don't have a CMOR unit so I grabbed images I could locate off CMOR site. Needless to say I'm not impressed! No CMOR for me.

    268 Islander Garmin 8612 install

    I'm opening this thread for a PM since I can't send photos. Tight fit. This is before it was caulked in. All fasteners were carefully installed from behind. Couple of screws hidden under top edge of the unit. Top edge was padded out with 1/2" starboard. Nice clean flush mount install.

    Life expectancy of Yamaha F150's

    I have a pair of 2006 Yamaha F150's with 2,100 hours. I wanted to ask if anyone has run a pair to end-of-life and what their experience was. Do they just get tired? Or do they grenade at some point? Right now the engines still perform like new. Only interested in comments from members with first...

    Invasion of the AI BOT's

    These threads are getting ridiculous. Someone opens up the thread and 15 posts come in without any response from the original member. Everyone commenting and negotiating against themselves. All silly speculation. Give the original member a chance to get back and go from there. If there is not...

    Garmin 9000 Series

    Garmin finally made the jump to 4k screens. 19", 22", 24" and 27". Twice the lines and twice the column - 4x the resolution of 8612 unit. Good thing it's too big for my console! Well maybe I could squeeze the extra 0.6"of height in... $9,900 though...

    Tinning Corroded Wire

    Replacing connectors on my fuel tank sending unit. Factory wiring not tinned copper - raw copper. Keep stripping back and all I get is black wire. Common problem on the GW's.

    REC 90 non-ethanol fuel availability in Delaware

    Can anyone confirm REC 90 non-ethanol fuel is available in Delaware. When my fuel tank project is finished I was thinking of taking the ferry from Cape May over to fuel up. Airports in NJ are not allowed to put aviation gas in anything but an airplane.

    Hose replacement 268 Islander

    With the fuel tanks out I can see the cooler hose. Need to look for the baitwell hose. Both on the Port side. What I can see looks like crap. Access port on Port side has a seacock that I don't understand this 2-hose seacock? One side to baitwell the other to cooler? Need to deal with fill hose...

    268 Islander Fuel Tank Replacement

    Decided that this is the year to replace my 25 yo fuel tanks. No leaks. I plan to keep the boat. I'll document the process here. Pulled the hatch. This hatch was rebuilt a few years ago with Coosa board. Looks good and feels solid. Hatch was set with 3M 4000 - kept everything sealed. Some...

    NJ Offshore windmills

    So what's the deal with these NJ wind farms? Are we going to be able to fish right up to them like the Gulf anglers do with the oil rigs? They are a little North of me - off Ocean City. They don't look that far offshore - not far enough to be a good FAD. Maybe August/September if it warms up...

    Bahamas Trip - SD Marine is Bimini Bound

    I have seen posts from member interested in a trip to the Bahamas with a group of boats. It's a great way for small boats to safely cross the Gulfstream and experience Bimini and other parts of the Bahamas. I'm only in FL Keys in the Winter. I use this marina to put my boat in/out. They sent me...

    Re-usable tywraps

    If you haven't tried these they are really great! I go thru a boat pump or two every winter if FL. I swap out on the water when pump fails. Spare pump has connectors on it. So much better than chopping a tywrap and looking around for a replacement. I also tywrap my rods together in the rod...

    Garmin Navionics+ on GPSMAP chartplotters.

    Has anyone made the jump to the Navionics charts on their GPSMAP chartplotter? Looks like for $199.99 I can get a 1-year subscription to NSUS001L (U.S. and Bahamas). I don't have the Navionics app so I can't compare the charting. Interested in see Middle Keys and NJ inshore Navionics vs Bluchart.
