On my way to put money down on 250 Suzuki's, mechanical control, digital gauges. They are available and should be here in about 10 days. Looking for any advice on what to ask or look for before and during repower. This is very new to me. Taking off my 1998 OX 66 250 Yamaha's thanks

way above my pay grade!

There are a few up here in Ft Pierce, got my first yesterday!

what skunk says for sure. my local home depot sells a 24x48 in piece of starboard for 97$. i am currently half way through my second sheet on my old boat. lots of things to cover up!

nuff said, i'm out

respectfully disagree to using one panel and 2 charge controllers. a simple google query will explain the reasons why. second your original post said 168 islander, i think you meant 268 correct. images of that boat show many with twin outboards, how is your boat set up? i only ask because a...

https://www.renogy.com/12v-30a-dual-battery-charging-100w-solar-flex-bundle/ look at this it is what you want to make.. no way i pay 450 though. the controller is the heart of the system. get a hard 100 watt panel, some 10ga landscape wire, heat shrink connectors and aluminum angle for the...

That is true. The 50 watt system would keep batteries topped off. If it is the starting battery no problem with a failure to charge, a quick adjustment to battery switches or jumper cable and you are off and running. With an essential system (pumps) and a boat in the water failure to charge...

Catch a sailfish!

The thought of snaking wires from the hard top to the batteries at the transom makes me queasy. The small 50 watt panel system would be fine for the starting battery and could easily be temporarily mounted with a rod holder bracket somehow and stowed when running. Thats a no brainer. The...

The set up depends on your battery configuration. If you have multiple batteries which are charged independently ie "banks" it can be a problem. There are charge controllers that can handle multiple banks of batteries but reviews are iffy. If you are charging one battery or multiple wired...

when electrical gremlins are about and coming and going like that check your grounds. use a jumper from a known good ground to test

Where will this new bank be located, I assume in the bow area since trolling batts. Rather than reinvent the wheel if that is the case hijack some ac from the main panel which I would think is in the cabin somewhere and power a smart charger located near the new bank. That should provide...

Not sure where this is on the boat. Consider a usb charging port in the back, looks like a nice spot for a phone or handheld radio

As I said earlier we fish a relatively small area, usually can still see some land features, good marked structure, so often fish spot to spot on the troll. Typically I run the cockpit and whoever else is there runs the helm. If I had a dime for every time I yelled stop staring at the screen...

I could not put in anything bigger than 9in without serious mods. Went with a 7 for nav/autopilot and 9 for sounder. We fish the same general area all the time. I like not looking at split screens

I would remove the cup holders and move the chrome handle down to the right side of the cabin hatchway. That will free up some room. No matter what you things will be shoehorned in on your older boat just like my 92 marlin. Raymarine ev150 7in mfd and 9 in Garmin

my 92 marlin has plenty of rod holders on the gunnel and transom so i just lag screwed my stainless 4 rod holder to the transom/back of the livewell. i only use it for holding rods while running and holding tools while fishing. doing anything around the lilvewell is murder due to the way...

My mechanic that helped we out last time we pulled the boat never runs on garden hose or muffs, but always both. Says there can be overheat problems when using just one or the other.

May 2020 I was given a 35-38 k all in for 2 250 hps , think they said that included about 5k for my motors 250 ox66. Wish I had done it then. They may give you a number but I hear you wait forever to get the motors
