    Skunk, it wasn’t then fitting, it was the hose.

    2013 Marlin / any outboard owners

    This probably belongs in tips but figured this forum gets the most traction. Just sharing a pretty hairy experience we had 90 miles offshore last week. Never once thought to check the hydraulic steering hose underneath the protective boot on the outboard engine ram. The starboard engine...

    55' of Grady White Beige 1-3/8 x 1/4 Flexible Vinyl Trim

    Any tips for those who have replaced the trim? Specifically how to remove the "old" grey glue that is left behind? I bought a 54 foot roll and should have extra if anyone needs. EPPE

    Turns out that although interested, Smoothsailing's t-top would not support the dome. This is back on the market!

    2006 Marlin: what to watch out for?

    Open up the bilge access under the aft sleeper. If it’s clean, the boat is well taken care. That’s my litmus test. Clean bilge = clean boat. Check under all the cuddy cushions for mold.

    Anyone interested in a used receiver from a 2013 Marlin we bought last season, used? It came with a hardtop mount which we removed as well. I am based in CT. Head unit is in my garage and I can send pictures if needed. I have no need for this. EPPE

    Lee Jr. outrigger mount questions

    The Jrs are mounted to the side. Not sure the year the riggers went to the hardtop mount with the "handle". BTW, I do have a set of Jrs and the riggers for sale still!

    We fish the Long Island Sound / Montauk to Block and offshore - was very happy with a 265 Express and even more happy with our 300 Marlin. All solid options! Good luck. EPPE

    300 Marlin - Gen or not to Gen?

    We boat locally in the Northeast, off CT / RI and Montauk. AC never an issue on the hook. Found a 2013 with no genny, but it is wired for it, with a tank so we can always add one later. I do have a Honda genny and have used it on the boat. Its perfect for making a quick cup of coffee or...

    Just curious, MPG (or GPM) on a Marlin w/ twin Yamaha 300s?

    I moved up from a 265 Express with F225s to a 2013 Marlin we found on dry dock with a blown F350 that we repowered with F300s. Just creeping up to 100 very happy hours! The boat is a tank!! Very comfortable, and gets us where we want to go. She runs thirsty, offshore in the North Atlantic we...

    Yamaha 300 fogging technique

    I learned from a yammy mechanic. Drain the vst and run the side can fuel directly into the fuel input side of the primary (on engine) filter. You may need to clip off a zip tie and need a small hose clamp to keep the fuel line attached. When done re zip tie the input line. Ez pz

    Boat Renaming....

    Peel the old name off, rename it as you wish, fill the cooler with beer and the livewell with bait! That will appease the renaming Gods and all will be good! Has never failed us and we once renamed a boat that was called "GO AWAY"

    Deposit on Canyon

    I know you are in NJ but try Diamond Marine is East Haven, CT, ask for Karl and tell him I told you to call. They sell a ton of trailers and were able to source one quickly for the guy that bought my 265. Good luck!

    Charleston, SC (any Marlin owners in the area?)

    Thanks, I tried the dealer, they dont have one in stock and said they would check to see if anyone in the marina owned one. Sounded like they don't sell alot of them.
