Raymarine currently. Just a 7" combo unit and a 7" dragonfly, (which i hate). The A7D unit reads great with the original through hull transducer. I would probably upgrade soon.

What autopilot's are you running for a Grady White Marlin? Just spoke to BOE marine and they recommended the Simrad AP44 with the RPU160 pump. A lot of my inboard boat friends are running the Raymarine EV-200 with a type 1 pump. They said that pump would be undersized for my outboards and...

Update, replaced the fridge with a Isotherm Cruise 49. I did not have to do any modifications to the existing space, just plug and play like liinw8 said. The new fridge has much more room inside than the old fridge. Hopefully I get 18 years out of this fridge also. Thanks for all the...

That's the fridge I was looking to replace it with. I guess I'll bite the bullet and buy the new one. Thanks for the replies. John

Just tested the thermostat at home. It read 2.2 ohms in the off position and 1.8 ohms in the on position. It will still light up when I had it plugged into the fridge so I'm thinking there may be another problem. Any more suggestions? John

Bayhouse, Was the thermostat hard to test and replace? I'm relatively handy... John

Hi all, After 18 years the refrig. finally crapped out. There is a Norcold DC-440 in there currently. I haven't read to many good reviews on the new Norcold refrigerators, made overseas I think. Does anyone know of a direct replacement to the old Norcold fridge? It looks like Dometic makes...

I run 17M Saltwater Series 2 props on my 2000 Marlin. Cruise 4200 rpm at 30 mph, top out 5600 rpm at 44-45 mph depending on the day and load. John

Thanks for the reply Tom. I really only care about low speed for trolling and the extra GPS for back up. How did you run your wiring to the transducer? Did you drill a hole through the transom or go out through the plate in the motor well and over the back of the transom between the engines...

Can someone walk me thru the process. Thanks, John

Hey everyone, I couldn't pass up a black friday deal on a Raymarine Dragonfly Pro 7. I currently have a Raymarine A series unit connected to the through hull transducer. The new unit has down vision and chirp but it comes with a transom mount transducer. First, will the new unit interfere...

Reeljoy2, I also have a 2000 Grady White Marlin that I'm considering re-powering. I'm on Lake Ontario in Rochester, NY and this kind of re-power is not very common up here. I'm actually taking a hard look at the Honda 250 hp because they do not need to re-drill the transom because they're on...

Lundinroof, Do you remember where you purchased the motor from and how much? Was it the whole kit for $300+? John

Hey everyone, I know this has been discussed a few times but I just need some more clarification. I have a 2000 Marlin with a Jabsco Electric Macerator Head. This summer it would work intermittently. Almost never when on 12 volt battery power alone. I would need to be plugged into shore...

Tucker, They were working fine before the mechanic worked on the boat. Come to think about it they replaced the primer bulbs could they have disconnected or broke it then? Is it simply a wire from the fuel line to the gage to get the reading? John
