I am looking to move up from my 30' Marlin to a 36 Express. In looking at the 36 Express (2007-2009 range) I am a little concerned about the availability of space for all my tackle and poles. Can anyone provide me feedback and/or pictures of what they did to maximize the space for fishing gear...

I just replaced all of my electronics and had to pull the swith plate on the helm to install a larger amp circuit breaker. I damaged the switch plate trying to get the four frozen screws out to remove the face plate. I need a new one does anyone know where I can find even a clean used one?

Had the same problem with my 2001 Marlin 250HP OX-66's. Turned out the I had a Low Pressure Fuel Pump bad (1 for each 2 cylinders). Its just a small diaphram pump but it was unbelievable the diffrence it made replacing all of them on both engines. The issue started out of no where I would have...

STATUS UPDATE: Well after 3-days of troubleshooting including a certified Yahmaha tech they finally found out what the problem. For the OX-66 each two of the the six cylinders has a gas lift pump. Just so happens the cylinders 1 & 2 for my stbd engine was failing and the lift pump for the # 3 &...

Yes that is my Marlin on C-Dock. Would really like to meet you and also if you have Rich''s cell that would be great and I will call you. After further trouble shooting the Marina called a Yahmaha mechanic who is going to run the computer on both engines this Thursday. His inital gut feeling...

I keep her at Cape May Marine. They had an amazing mechanic but he left for Avalon and they guy thye replaced him with desnt give me the warm fuzzy so far. I have been really lucky with this boat this is the is the first real challenge I have had other than little stuff I've fixed myself. I've...

Does anyone know if a good Grady White - Yahmaha mechanic in the Cape May NJ area?

With the engines running its not an abrupt shutdown, you can watch the tach slowly lower to the engine stahls and shuts down.

I have a 2001 Marlin with 2001 Yamaha OX66 250's. I am religious in keeping additive in my tanks and replacing fuel filters even the VCT filters under the injector pump. All of suddent and of course in th emiddle of striper season I started having my stbd engine shutdown for no apparent reason...

I have a 2001 30' Marlin with twin Yamaha 250's and just had the same problem with one tach that eventually you could not see at all. I checked all the wiring, fuses leads on motor and eventually narrowed it down to having to replace the instrument. Found a great deal on a ne win the box one...

Thank you so much, I was going to climb down there today and look at the wiring because this is what I would of thought also. I really appreciate everyones input as this really helps narrow the troubleshooting before trying to squeeze myself into the bilge. Also it's funny because this looks...

I totally agree with tracing out the wiring it has to be done. I put a 100 miles on the boat fishing 12 hours yesterday and for this trip I did not use my fridge. The voltage on the Aux bank never dropped below 12.2 volts and stayed between 12.4 to 12.2. I ran my Furmo Plotter/Sounder the entire...

When I bought the boat in November I was told that the bateries were only a year or two old. I had the boat inspected and had this confirmed although physically I have not verified this myself. The Batteries, compartment and bilge area is spotless. I think you have hit a spot and I think that...

Thanks I will give that a try. I actually thought about that but the connectors all look really clean and kind of disregarded this. Still is a good idea. Steve

I'll try that, the issue is it doesnt look like the Engines provide any charge to the Aux Batteries is that possible? I would think that at least something would feed teh Aux batteries but the original owner did not think so and looking at the wiring diagram in the Marlin Owners manual it's to...
