I have been looking at the helpful Westmarine online videos. still slightly confused. I would like to have one starting batter just for the mercruiser 4.3L. then I would like to have one deep cell battery for the two electric riggers and all other electronics. I would like to have the ability to charge both batteries thru the engine at the same time but do not want my starter battery to power the riggers or another electronics. I have been looking at the different Blue Sea systems switches. anyone use these and if so which one did you install?

I have both and use both depending on conditions and how many I have fishing out of the boat. Problem with inline boards is that when you are by yourself, you have to unclip the board and fight the fish all by yourself. The inlines also cannot be let out as far as the mast system. I do not have a mast but have two planer board wheels mounted on the rails of my islander. works great

man this just sucks. maybe I will try remove it from the bracket, flip it upside down, and spray some WD-40 around the seal area. let it sit for awhile then try to remove it..

on my 1991 Islander 4.3L v6. trying to change my water/fuel separating filter. I cant seem to get it off! I know that I am trying to remove it in the correct direction. I loosened up one of the bolts that I thought my release some of the pressure? don't know if that is what it is for but some fuel started coming out. I tried removing the filter using a filter wrench even and it wouldn't budge. Am I not doing something correctly? I have heard that some will punch a hole through a filter and insert a screwdriver to help remove it..but, with this being fuel and I don't know if that is a good idea. also, if and when I do get the filter loosened up, should I expect fuel to come flowing out of it?

Not bad. I bought a 1991 islander last year for $8000

have A 1991 iSLANDER WITH the 4.3L mercruiser. Still looking for a kicker but will be the 9.9 HP range ideally.

that is kinda what I was thinking. I will probably just go with the depthmaster rod and reels for spring browns. already have 2 of them setup on lead line for walleyes. will get 2 more for mono. can always remove the lead off one..also have 2 decent spinning reel combs

My islander came with the bracket still attached to the Mercruiser Alpha 1 drive. I need all of the remaining parts. Can I purchase them seperatly? I think that the part attached to my drive is permenent

What would you use for an ideal Spring Brown setup for Lake O? I.e. rod length, action and reel..What lb mono?

What brand of electronics is that

Thanks for the replys. That is what I am gonna get!

On the top of the gunnel of my 1991 Islander there is a black tape that covers the top and over the side (inside). It is all cracked and pealing off. It looks like it was factory installed. I am thinking that this was for sure footing upon boarding. I would like to replace it. any advice as to a particular product to use?
