Same handle only 1997 268 Islander. Mine are fine. Haven't tried to replace one. Call Grady White customer service. Maybe you can get a manufacturer name.

It is highly unlikely you have a Jabsco pump. Probably a Groco in-tank. Investigate what you really have, put some photos up and members will guide you. There are numerous post on GG on this subject. Search "Groco". And by the way it's 3 miles not 2 1/2.

Different model boat but similar problem. Windows are discontinued. Best answer is acrylic (for clarity) or polycarbonate for a little longer life. Make them fixed (not openable). They are opened so infrequently. Need air: Open the hatch.

They don’t last forever! I took mine out and converted to a tackle locker. Probably have to rework mounting bezel. Nothing is easy!

Replacement can be done but you are better off replacing frames, etc. Not expensive. Shop around.

Suggestion: Put a photo up. I have no idea what you are talking about. Photos would help others help you!

No. I have a factory installed deck fitting/hose connected to the bottom of the holding tank. I use this to pumpout at the marina. I also have a hose coming out of the holding tank macerator plate on the top of the holding tank . That connects to my overboard discharge hose. The boats with...

It says "After the battery is fully charged, the charger will continue monitoring the battery, and provide ongoing maintenance and optimization". They monitor battery voltage and if it fall below a certain point they go into charging mode. I leave my chargers connected and "on" all the time. I...

I use the NOCO single-bank for bow thruster, windlass and stereo battery - Duracell 34M AGM. ProMariner ProSport 20 HD 3-bank for 2 Duracell 34M AGM's for starting batteries and a Duracell 27M AGM for house. Chargers are on all year. Batteries from Sam's Club - great price. I figure 5-year...

I don't have a y-valve on my islander. The tank has a pumpout hose to the deck and a hole in the plate for the Groco pump to overboard discharge. It's a difficult place to work on. You can't get two hands into it and you are working over the bowl. Be careful not exceed your access or physical...

Empty tanks are not that heavy. I put a racket strap on my 134 gallon front tank with a 2x4 under it for a hand-hold. Was able to wiggle it out and stand it up. I had another person help me get the tank off the boat and the new one up.

There are several posts. Just search GROCO MACERATOR. Here are two. Nothing works better than a in-tank pump when it's working. Most members switched to standard Jacsco macerator installed above the tank. This pump has to "lift" contents. You have to be careful to avoid air leaks or running the...

There is a recent thread SkunkBoat has been working on dealing with replacing the Grocco pump. I did mine a few years ago too.

GemLux has engineering drawings with the hinges they manufacture. Measure up what you have and see if there is a match. You will have to switch to a bolt thru design. They have several 180 degree hinge designs that look like they would work...

Worst project in boating. Unfortunately I have earned my PhD in MSD's working on my CPU (Crap Processing Unit). I'm not sure if this is OEM. The Groco phenolic plate and plumbing looks standard. The Shurflow pump doesn't - maybe it has nothing to do with pumping the head out - maybe an owner...

If they are on the boat call GW Customer Service. They are quite helpful with OEM questions.

May be internal but I can't find anything on Garmin site. Did not find a GPS 17xd either. Disconnect NMEA 2000 and see if you loose it. Also check system menu's to see devices. Should show up there.

Garmin GPS antennas are small 3" diameter round puck that are hardtop mounted. Some/most chart plotters have built-in GPS antennas. Not sure what model the internal ones are. How is it that you know you have a 17xd antenna?

Not sure what you are trying to do but GemLux has great stainless hardware. https://gemlux.com/collections/boat-hinges?page=2

GW doesn't recommend closing off the fuel compartment. Neither did my tank builder - let it drain. Otherwise the water has nowhere to go. But a leaking fuel tank will put fuel in the aft bilge. Forward bilge is closed off. Some members didn't like that but the 1/2" PVC that connects the two is...
