    Marlin - Two Stupid Questions

    Having a great season with my Overnighter (new to us this year), and have the tentative green light from the admiral to look at larger boats to extend our use/crusing. Zero'd right in on the Marlin - that little aft cabin is key. Three questions: 1. I understand that the change in 1995/1996 was...

    Overnighter Gauge Panel Depth?

    I am away from my boat, which we just bought. Can anyone tell me or better send me pictures of the gauge panel removed from an Overnighter (1987-1992 era)? I have a 1990. Thinking of flush mounting a radio below gauge array, need 2.6" clearance. Never removed panel, no idea how much room I have...

    Sealant for floor fuel tank access hatch?

    When is it time to replace gas tank?

    At the risk of asking a dumb question, what should I be looking for, short of evidence of an actual fuel leak, in deciding whether to replace my fuel tank in a 1990 Overnighter? Is the age alone enough for me to just get it over with? Is any corrosion reason to replace, or should I be looking at...

    Intro/Overnighter Modifications

    Hello List, My father and I just bought a 1990 20' Overnighter with a 2005 Mercury 150. Home port will be Northport, NY on the north shore of Long Island. Weare psyched after being out of boating for about 15 years. We are making our to-do list for the next few months. This forum has already...
