    The deck was pulled to install a new generator. I have crawled into every hole working on items and nothing yet. I may be lucky though the way it sounds. Barry.

    CRAP !!!!!! VERY aggravated. Help please :-0

    Sounds crazy but I had a similar problem and a friend said to use powder TANG, the drink mix. It actually worked better and any cleaner. I also heard not to use Bleach, it damages the gellcoat. Don't actually know, however I quit using it. Good luck. Barry.

    Yes

    I did the same thing, however the anchor won't fall when engaged to lower. I have to give it a push for it to fall. Any one else have this problem? Barry.

    Problem with fuel gages.

    I have a 1996 Marlin that was repowered in 2003 with new Yamaha gages at the time. Both fuel gages quit working at the same time. One reads half, the other reads full. Any advise on repair. Thanks, Barry.
