    2001 268 Islander very unstable.

    The way you describe the listing, it sounds just like a hull that is overloaded. When a hull gets close to it's maximum displacement, it becomes unstable. Could it be that your boat is water-logged and with just normal everyday items on board the hull is over its capacity? Just a thought. Have...

    Seacock Remote Operation Arm

    This is a good explanation of what Dennis is talking about. Especially the line at the bottom in red highlight. https://www.buyfittingsonline.com/pages/npt-vs-nps-vs-nptf-thread-connections-the-difference.html

    Lower unit stuck

    That makes sense. The hammer was the first tool ever invented by man and is still the go to tool when things get down and dirty.

    Fitted trailer bunks for a 22' Seafarer?

    Are you sure your gelcoat is worn through or are you just seeing a little black streak of melted plastic from the bunk-slick material?

    Boat seesawing on mooring

    I agree with Dennis, that it makes no difference to the boat. The only thing you might consider is, as it changes direction at the end of its swing the mooring line will be snapping side to side in your anchor roller and if there is a metal bail over it to capture the line, it could cause some...

    Compression test on Yamaha LF225's

    As far as the pressure numbers go, it depends a lot on how the test was done. Had the engine been sitting and the test was done cold and "dry"? Did they open the throttle butterflies or leave them closed? Was the engines run till warm and the rings were expanded and loaded with oil and cylinder...

    Engine cuts out a running speed

    Next time it goes into "reduced rpm mode", leave the throttle where it was before it slowed and have someone start pumping the primer bulb. If the engine comes back to life while pumping but dies away after a bit of not pumping, then it is likely a weak primary low pressure fuel pump that is...

    Repowering

    Gypsy, when your dealer that is doing the install of the new engines gets your old ones off, make sure he probes in the transom bolt holes to check for rot before just stuffing the bolts back in the holes.

    Suggestions for removing new-ish ablative bottom paint?

    No, No, No....if you are going to use a high pressure air media blaster, you must use a gentle media like soda, so it won't abrade the gelcoat so fast. Especially if you are inexperienced. You need to learn the correct air pressure, the correct angle of attack and distance for the nozzle and...
