    Autopilot for Marlin

    I run the simrad ap 24 withe 160 pump on my 272 sailfish with twin 250's and it is flawless. I slow troll for salmon as well here in washington. I also make long runs offshore for bottomfish and tuna, 40+ plus miles each way. Ive had zero complaints, in fact, it is by far my favorite added...

    300 Marlin repower with Suzuki 300s

    That's a pretty wierd scenario. I repowered my 99 272 sailfish with zuke 250's previously having ysmaha 225 2 strokes and noticed the exact oppisite effect. My boat now rides heavier in the rear and has lost almost all the bow steer you talk about while crossing a wake. Im not at my boat now...

    OX66 Overheat Question

    It's an easy job if you have the manual for torque specs. Also pay attention on which bolts to apply permatex thread dope to. Order your parts from boats.net and since your there do the tstats, poppet valve and impeller and your guaranteed no problems. Good luck

    1998 272 Sailfish port wiper motor

    There are two power wires and I believe one is for the park function. Unhook one of the orange wires and it will stop. You will then have no park function and will have to turn off wipers where you want them to stop. Mine did the same thing and I found this fix on the internet. I can't remember...

    I also used to run a 35 gallon plastic barrel that I converted to a bait tank on the back of the euro transom. I will try and find a picture

    livewell too small

    I bought mine from Defiance marine in Bremerton washington. They build them. I don't think they list them on their website anymore due to being so busy. It would be worth calling them though, they were less money than Bluewater when I bought mine.

    livewell too small

    There is barely enough room but you can make it work. I had to add another 6 inch access hole under the tank and use 90 degree plumbing fittings to make it all work. I spent a considerable amount of time penciling it all out before the cutting started.
