Jigstrike: thanks for the input about your trailering experience and your height estimate. I realize I made an error in my calculations above as the Marlin only has a 23 inch draft, which helps on trailering height. I’m curious what your tow vehicle is; I plan to pull this with a Ford F350.

I looked at the specs and the 2017 Marlin has a 9’9” bridge clearance and a 25 inch draft. Added together, that’s 11’10”. Then, adding 2 foot for height off the road puts the trailering height at 13’10”. With that said, I’ll need to check my routes for bridge clearances and make sure there’s...

Does anyone have information on what the trailering height is on a Marlin 300; and, if so, what trailer were you using? Is your height measurement to the hardtop or anything mounted on top such as a radar unit, outriggers, etc? Thanks

The idle specification for 1998 225 OX66's is 700rpm +/- 25rpm.

After checking the port motor fuel pumps and finding one leaking I replaced all three pumps on that engine, as per Tucker's suggestion. After running earlier today, shutting down and then restarting after maybe a half hour, the port motor restarted and kept running with no problem. I didn't...

Tucker, I just checked the three low pressure fuel pumps on the port engine. The lower of the three clearly leaks when the primer pump is activated. I ordered three new pumps from "boats.net" at $37.50 each. Once I get them installed I'll post the results. Since this appears to be a clear...

I appreciate the suggestions. Once I get a chance to check it out I'll let you know what I find. Thanks!

Both engines start fine from cold and run well anywhere from idle to cruise through full throttle. However, after they're fully warmed up and are shut down for say 20 minutes restarting is a challenge. The symptom is that they restart right away but quickly stall. After using the electric...
