Hey, great thread, and it could not be towards a better crowd of people. I love this forum, you all are great, it's an honor to be part of it. I really hope that all of you are having a good holiday (and like me, eyeing the ocean and wanting to get back out there, search Santa Cruz, it's gonna...

Ring free is a yamaha additive to gas, supposed to prevent carbon build up.

I recently did a tuna trip in my 22 foot boat. 73 miles offshore, 160 miles total run. So it can be done, you should be fine in your Marlin. That said, tell us about your level of experience. The question I ask is are you to the point that if there is any unusual sound, do you stop and...

You've stumbled across what I think is one of the better, if not the best, forums on the internet. This place has been nothing but welcoming to me, much more so than other forums. Full of experienced people willing to share their knowledge. Enjoy it. And I fish with a friend who has a 1999...

This is not much help, but I put Lumitec Caprera2 under my pilothouse roof and I love them. Seems like a solid company.

It's already better, just needs to be a little softer. Even if what I have now is the best it gets, it's a win. I'm just greedy, want a bigger win so I can keep fishing. I really don't know what I'd do with myself if fishing was off the table.

I went back to the vendor (such a nice guy) and he said it takes a while for them to break in. Apparently they get softer with use. He said it's tuned to a 180-200 pound passenger. That sort of checks out, my fishing buddy is 160 and he couldn't get the seat to move, seems like it should have...

OK, review time, I crabbed yesterday, first day on the new seaspension setup. Short summary: I like it, it really takes the edge off. Longer summary: it's good but a little too stiff, my guess is the vendor assumes you lie about your weight and tunes for 10% more. I didn't lie so it's a...

So I know about that video and that's where I started. No tabs, just engine trim. I respect Eric but he's just wrong on this one. The difference in comfort is crazy after I upgraded the tabs and use them. In my Pacific waters, 90% of the time, I can do what a friend with a Canyon 271 does...

Yeah, those are crap conditions, pretty square ocean. I'll try and get out soon and let you know how well the seaspension works. One thing I didn't get is you say with lots of tabs and engine trimmed forward you get spray coming in, I rarely see that but I don't go out in 4@4, that's too...

Yes, my buddy Peter has that same year and he tells me it is in front of the main gas tank and behind the other gas tank. Pretty much between the helm seat bases, maybe a few inches back.

How yours is is how my 2020 came from Grady. My upgrades for ride are: A) get rid of the 9x12 trim tabs, they are way too small, replace with 12x18 (look at my post history, you can find pictures). This was a huge upgrade, before this swap, I had to slow down on the top 1/3rd of each swell so...

I'll take a look, right now I have two layers of that carpet I put in my boat, probably pretty similar. My problem is that my feet are screwed and standing and using my legs as shock absorbers (like everyone else does) is really tough on my feet. I need to be able to sit. Hence the...

Thanks for your concern, it actually means something to me. I seem to be getting better, there were lingering symptoms from the stroke but they _seem_ to be going away. We shall see. I'm pretty convinced the boat caused it, yeah, the vein was weak but the doctors kept asking if I did anything...

Have not, the weather here has been awful. Stuff like 14' @ 14s. Up by Seattle it was 28@9. Big storm system. I'm hoping to get out soon but I need a break in the weather.

I don't troll slower than about 2.5mph so I think that part would be fine. The reason I'm considering it is I have a single main engine and can't get more than about 5mph with the kicker as it is. If my main became disabled, I'd like as much speed as possible out of the kicker to get home. If...

I'm curious if anyone put a 9.9HP Suzuki on a 228 and then did the conversion to get 20HP out of it (well documented on the hull the truth). I'm wondering would 20 hp move my 228 faster, and if so, how much?

And hours, has it been surveyed, etc. Not enough info here for a potential buyer.

1/2 to 5/8 inch.

Well, done, ready for a sea trial. Many mistakes were made but it came out OK in the end. 1st pic is when I bolted the plate on the column to the center of the plate under the seat. Completely wrong, the column wants to be where the ratchet is. I also had the plate upside down and backwards...
