    Molding Replacement Rivets/Retainers

    Am going to try and replace the worn out cockpit moldings on my 1998 Islander 268. Found a place in NC that claim they have OEM original moldings, and they look authentic. Does anyone know what type of plastic/nylon rivets are used and where I might find them? Thanks.

    I have always stored my boat in New England 90% full of fuel. Many opinions differ. What do most folks in colder states do regarding fuel level during storage?

    1998 Islander 268

    Thanks. I'll be down at the boat tonight and see if the capacity plate is still in place, I don't recall seeing it. I have had good luck with Grady White customer Service for info though. Will let you know how switching back to the 15 prop works out.

    Repowered Islander 268

    Thanks all, great info and I will contact Propgods.com. My old OX66 was running a 15 1/4 x15P prop, had great hole shot up onto plane (perhaps because of two stroke). I still have that prop, wonder if I should throw it on and take her for a run.

    Repowered Islander 268

    Just finished a repower of my 1998 Islander 268. Installed a Yamaha F250 with a 19T 15 1/4 prop. With full gas (134 gallons) I get about 39MPH and WOT maxes at 4900 RPM.

    Electrical Helm Question

    Thanks for the tips. Yes the tilt works at the motor switch, it just seems like the ignition key switch does not power the dash lights, crank the engine, and the trim switch on the throttle is not functioning. I'll check all fuses under the dash, as well as the ground bars. Regarding the...
