Fusion radio connects to NMEA2000 buss. Not sure Fusion Amp does. GXM 54 has 2 audio ports to amp. 1243, 743 and GMR18 on Garmin marine network (ethernet). Transducers plug into the MFD - color matched connectors. Look at settings screens and list connected Garmin devices. At some point you...

I'm redoing everything for 2 tanks but only installing the forward tank (the hard one). If I decide I want the aux tank hoses, etc are there.

I'm doing my tanks on 1997 268 Islander.72 gallon and 134 gallon. Easily $4,000 in materials. Probably a $8,000 to $10,000 job considering a bulkhead had to be removed and replaced. Doing it myself though. Active post here on GG. Going well - starting to put boat back together. Not for the...

Not a very good paint job. Not primed and 2-part epoxy paint. SP Sheetmetal built the tank and painted it. Few scratches already. Just a little more protection. Patriot wasn't a fan of painting. It will be fine though. Twent-five years from now the tank won't be my problem! SEASICK sent me an...

Turned the corner on the project. Got bulkhead cut. Assembling new fuel tank. Attached all the nitrile insulators with 3M 4000.

Owners manual on GW site usually gives you some idea. On my boat it's accessible by taking to top off the step into the cabin. Port side. Yep. In owners manual...looks like they moved it near the sink. https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/22263/1994-owners.pdf

Sometimes it's too far a stretch. Where are you navigating? Coastal or offshore?

Why not add in World Peace? Boat's are always a tradeoff.

The small ones I hang onto the drill and get it started. The mushroom is big enough. Wooden dowel for guide is a good idea! Large holes or ones that were drilled out the wrong size I use two saws.

Never a problem. Works every time on the plastic ones.

You might as well do the cables too. You are most of the way there! Cables are easy - the binnacle is the more difficult part. Check GG for those that have done it. Spend the extra and buy a OEM binnacle. Aftermarket may be ok but it's a PITA to take things apart and even to adjust. Cable...

Both. 3M4000UV and 7 - #6 oval head screws 1" from the end, 10" apart 62" overall. Cleaned up nicely so no gap under track. Costa does it this way on all their enclosures.

I'm using more 3M 4000 UV. It has medium adhesive properties so you still have to be careful. Not sure what I'll do. Probably install with a good GE silicone. If it moves I'll redo it.

Taking a long time to re-prime tells me you ran the filter can dry. Fuel systems use vacuum not pressure so a "leak" will allow air to be sucked in instead of fuel. Make sure the filter can is tight (don't over-tighten). Replace filter cans even if they are new - a bad gasket or pinhole can...

I used 5200 to secure a piece of aluminum track for my cockpit cover to my hardtop. When I removed it for refinishing the hardtop it tore off the finish down to the glass fibers. Switching to plastic track and trying to decide what to bed it with. Not going to be 5200 Underside of hardtop...

You have it backwards - the 5200 holds the hose in the opening. On mine the forward bilge pump hose fitting popped the mushroom head off and the hose fell into the bilge behind the refrigerator. Of course it was a bad day and in the dark we had to run in from offshore. The hole was above the...

Mine is in a terrible place. Port side is difficult and inaccessible on Starboard side. And I have two on each side. Not a big enough problem for me! Not sure what you don't setup a sump system with a pump!

Agreed - use 5200. If you should snap the mushroom head on the fitting (bouncing off a dock) the threaded part and the 5200 will keep it place. If it's too difficult to remove the fitting use a hole saw and drill them out. I changed all my above water line thru hulls out to stainless last year.

Finally got back to cleaning up the bulkhead. Complete bulkhead removed out to stringers. Sanded out the old glass tabs and ready to build a new bulkhead. 3/4" Coosa board. Some water collected on top of the foam on both sides. Not sure where it came from. Had nowhere to go. I'm going to...
