Hello Guys, I have a 2006 Marlin 300 with twin yamaha 250 four strokes. Current autopilot is a Nautimatic TR 1 that was installed when boat was new and has served me well until last year - my guess is that it is at end of life - apparently parts are no longer generally available. The lights...

I have a 2006 Marlin with the original Grady-installed Kenwood stereo with Sirius. The Sirius module is bad and a replacement is no longer generally available for the OEM stereo. I would like to replace my stereo tuner with a newer bluetooth capable model. Because the stereo models have...

I own a 2006 Marlin which just came out of winter storage. My marina winterized the fresh water system last fall and as I flushed out the antifreeze solution from the hot and cold faucets I realized that I now have a leak somewhere within fresh water system. When I turn on the fresh water...

All, If you have a boat equipped with an air conditioner, please be sure that water is emptied from the strainer between the sea cock and air conditioner pump when winterizing this fall (in addition to all other winterizing requirements). Apparently, my boatyard overlooked this step. As a...

I've been very careful about drying the glass when I wash my boat, but it looks like water spots are beginning to etch into the glass. I don't know whether this is caused by salt or minerals/acid in the rain water. In any event, I'm wondering what products you guys have used to reduce or...

I'm new to this site, and am enjoying reading all of the useful information here - thanks guys!! Anyway, I own an '06 Marlin that is equipped with a fresh water windshield washer that is activated by turning a small nob/valve located on the starboard side of the helm area. The washer stopped...

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience using 87 octane fuel in Yamaha 250 hp 4 stroke engines. Yamaha recommends 89 Octane fuel for these engines, but it is unavailable at many fuel docks (leaving a choice of 87 or 91 octane). I've heard that using 87 octane may result in a slight power...
