I have a 268 Islander. Same setup as yours. On your knees, twisting into the head compartment, stretched out over the top of the toilet and working with one hand - yes its a PITA. Blow the vent back with a garden hose. Use your washdown hose or fresh water hose if none at the marina.

Is it possible there are a lot of solids still in the tank? I would do some testing of the holding tank. At the pump out station fill with water from hose and empty. Do it several times. Time how long it takes to pump tank out. What are you going to do with the macerator? Probably a Grocco in...

Beckson makes the ports. In OEM colors too. Contact the factory direct. I ordered mine from them.

Lewmar ProFish 700. Horizontal. Yes - it works fine. See my posts... https://www.greatgrady.com/search/1653280/?q=Lewmar+profish&c%5Busers%5D=hookup1&o=date

Why? When you start the process of cleaning the nearly empty tank that still contains some fuel and plenty of oxygen you are at the most dangerous point. I'm not going to stake my life on some internet jackass wannabe (not you - the thread you are referring to). Water and gas don't mix and...

Anyone fill their tanks with inert gas before removing them or working on them? Dry ice seems the easiest way to do that.

You need to find out which direction the water is coming in. Wrap paper towels around cables and tape in place. Try some o the flat areas too. Then get it wet.

What kind of gauges do you have? Photo would be great. May be a bad sending unit. GW brochure says 127 gallons standard. Standard sending unit range - 240 ohms empty to 35 ohms full. Unplug sending unit under deck plate - gauge should go to full.

The tank will be epoxy coated. When hatch was lifted there was no gas smell. Top of tanks were clean Very little water in the compartment. Had a friend stop by this morning. He thought the tanks were in very good shape based on his experience. I may scale this back and only do the Aux tank and...

No scale for the photo but this looks like a 10" or 12" base. Agree that its surface mount.

I'm not sure about this mount. Looks like it needs to be rceessed The old GW mount seems much stronger. Solid base, vertical mount, no messing with the deck. Good luck with that!

Aux tank is easy to pull. It lifts out. Main tank is a challenge. Bulkhead has to be cut out and steps cut out. Slide tank back and tilt out. (hopefully!). Fill and vent hoses are accessible on Starboard side deck port. I can get a hand on the hoses. They run 90 degrees across to the main...

Decided that this is the year to replace my 25 yo fuel tanks. No leaks. I plan to keep the boat. I'll document the process here. Pulled the hatch. This hatch was rebuilt a few years ago with Coosa board. Looks good and feels solid. Hatch was set with 3M 4000 - kept everything sealed. Some...

Where is the rest of the table? Is this GW OEM or aftermarket table?

Take the gypsy off of you can or just get the part number off it.

My originals cracked and had the laminate in between. Local glass guy had the material but wouldn't drill the hole because it was too close to the edge. I see another thread going where his window did explode into a billion pieces. That one is clearly tempered.

I suppose the switch will work for you but having it automatic is what I wanted. Couple of last minute suggestions. No specs on relay coil resistance which would affect heat output but trying another manufacturers relay may work. Also that relay has a metal frame and could be screw mounted on...

I found the fixture on eBay. You have to rework the base. It work for me. Now I have a few spares. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/spreader-light-switch.8060/#post-256790...

On older models like mine GW used a vertical mount between the v-berth bunks and aluminum post and arm to the table...

Is there some reason you are changing the rode and chain? Are you going to 8-plait?
