    Rinse fuel tank compartment?

    I have tried for a while to resolve this issue. I spoke to GW CS (they sent layout diagram) and several GG members. Lots of guesses but no one knew for sure. When I went to replace my fuel tanks last Summer I decided to 100% figure this our at least for my model which is likely the same for all...

    Rinse fuel tank compartment?

    See post#19 https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/268-islander-fuel-tank-replacement.36637/ I did my tanks last year and documented what I found. There are two pipes into the aft bilge. The 1/2" PVC one goes to the forward bilge and was/is plugged with a removable plug. The other 3/4" pipe...

    Access to Garmin 8616 SD CARD on my Fishermen 257 F

    https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=BzthnHQrMb4fRIZCKLnum6 Yes there is a way to turn them off thru the menu. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't! I have a GT51M-TH which is 500 watt so it should be ok. Your GT56 is 350 watt.

    Access to Garmin 8616 SD CARD on my Fishermen 257 F

    With my older units I used the SD card for everything. With the new units I do everything with Active Captain. My boat sits outside my window on the trailer in NJ. Similar setup in FL. I sit at my kitchen island with home wifi and ability to connect to the Garmin boat network. The software...

    I have no idea what you are talking about. Good luck!

    That is not a fuse - it's a circuit breaker. That switch on the accessory panel controls the general fresh water pump. Anyway - you need to work on the pump to get water pumping.

    Both pumps turn off when you pull the one fuse? What is the wire color of the wire to the fuse? How is the fuse labeled? water pressure shower. --- orange/red water pressure pump --- orange/blue Why don't you just try to get the pump to pump water!

    SHURflo Diafram Pumps Model # 8050-204-133

    I'm confused. What is it you are trying to fix? The pump that is running that shuts off when you pull the fuse is not on a switch (well battery switch). It will turn off when the pump primes and pressurizes the shower water line. If you got water in the shower handle and it still doesn't shut...

    SHURflo Diafram Pumps Model # 8050-204-133

    Dennis apparently this model has two freshwater pumps. Go figure but that is what the owners manual wirelist indicates. One is in the switch panel and one is on a fuse. Also shower sump pump is fused. My guess is the two fused pumps associated with the shower are alway on unless you turn the...

    SHURflo Diafram Pumps Model # 8050-204-133

    I reposted my updated from above... This is very different than my 1997 Islander. Put up a photo of the switch panel and labeled fuse block. My switch panel has a freshwater pressure switch and circuit breaker. Same with my washdown pump. Same with my baitwell pump. And bilge pumps. Let's see...

    SHURflo Diafram Pumps Model # 8050-204-133

    I updated my post above. This year boat is different from mine. He has two freshwater pumps - one for the shower (on fuse block) and one for general use (on accessory switch panel). He also has a shower sump pump (on fuse block). My guess is the shower freshwater pressure pump is not priming and...

    Access to Garmin 8616 SD CARD on my Fishermen 257 F

    That seems odd to me. I can't use Active Captain without a SD card in the unit. You can do a software update without Active Captain by using Garmin Express application on a PC. But map updates require Active Captain. Not sure what where/what kind of fishing you do but the shaded relief charts...

    What is this secret table?

    No mounting bracketl. Probably not a GW add on.

    Grady White has Owners Manuals on their website. They are not great for that year but has generic info that is useful for wiring. You could call customer service as well. They may have more documentation. Switch panels are typically switched on/off with battery switch - not ignition switch.

    Access to Garmin 8616 SD CARD on my Fishermen 257 F

    All my Garmin units came with SD cards. 2gb. I replaced with 32GB cards. I upgraded built-in base maps to Garmin Navionics charts and added US East and South Garmin Navionics Vision+ for the shaded relief. Those charts load to the Active Card card. Only using 8gb. Chart cards don’t need to be...

    Access to Garmin 8616 SD CARD on my Fishermen 257 F

    Add the card reader and put a SD card in it for misc stuff like screenshots and saving/uploading waypoints. Put a 16gb or 32gb SD card in the back of the unit and forget it's there. It will hold all your Active Captain data as well as your map subscriptions. I have two 8612's but only one has a...
