  3. getting her in early

    wanna get my boat into its slip soon but it's a  i/o so I am concerned with freezing. don't have a shore power option. does anyone have any ideas. has to be something I can do. any ideas would be great. thanks! 

  4. islander canvas

    I have a 95 islander and would like to get some canvas made that will go from the hardtop after and cover the back section. I don't know what this type of cover is called but I am wondering if anyone may know of a place online where I could just buy one and it would be less costly then going to my local canvas guy. seems like they made a lot of these boats and it may be a "part" that I could buy. 

  5. Simrad tells me that they tested everything together and that the computer, control unit and compass were all damaged by an eletrical issue. A short they called it. This seems unlikely that all 3 were damaged but guess we will see if it works in the spring. Not sure what could have caused this issue. I did have an alternator problem where it was putting out more power than it should but there are things along the way that should keep extra power from getting to the system like fuses, etc. any suggestions would be great. Oh andear the great people at simrad neglected to send me back the wires and components I sent back with everything else. Again spectacular service. These guys service lowrance hope I don't have any problems there.

  6. on the backbone I will try different locations to plug into. I did try this previously but maybe I should move my terminating plug as well. I thought it was a power or wiring issue so I returminated my battery, put a new battery on, tested voltage and resistance. this is all after it worked perfectly for over 3 months. still no go.

  7. I gotta vent a little about what I have been going through. Back in May I installed a simrad ap24 on my islander. It worked great until a trip in mid August when it stopped working. The customer service is terrible at simrad. When I did the initial setup up I had some difficulty. I admit I am not thevl sharpest knife in the drawer. I called them with questions and first off it took up to 2 hours to speak with someone. I would ask them to stay on the line for a few minutes while I tried what they suggested and they would say no because there are others waiting to get help. This happened several times during my initial setup which took me several calls. I finally started telling them, look i spent over 2grand on this thing give me 10 min of your time. Mid August when it stopped working after many calls they had me return the autopilot computer. they replaced this free of charge. The system still didn't work. After multiple calls to tech support and testing everything possible and still finding no solution I sent back to entire system. I called 4 times asking if there could be a dialog between myself and the testing facility. I was assured this was no problem. I specifically told them not to just send me me comments because of the testing in have done. What happened they sent me some new components and didn't send back some associated wires etc that are needed to run thexclusive system. I don't think they test anything. I would not go with simrad simply because of the poor service.

  8. Currently I have traxtech tracks on each side with each rigger on a riser. It's necessary for them to be on a riser in order to swivel and clear a the edge on the side of the islander. Each track is supported underneath with plates. Guess my biggest worry is the base cracking. I do see that cannon sells stainless bases. That is an option or for probably the same total price of doing all 3 riggers or a small amount more I could use a heavy aluminum or steal rail/riser and remove a large amount of the bounce. It would also give me a few more inches of height on those choppy days. Anyone no where I can get risers? Maybe they call them something else.
