All good, I will share some numbers once the new engines are installed. As for burning off fuel for better efficiency, we pretty much just run off the forward tank for fishing and cruising around the Long Island Sound. Every now and then, dump 20-40 gallons in the back tank to keep lines...

2003s that I bought used in 2006 on a 265. No symptoms, just read about it and spoke to a Yammy mechanic. We dropped the lowers and you can see the corrosion looking up into the powerhead. Yes, we replaced the pan and pump at the same time. Might as well, engine was pretty much torn apart...

I was gonna say wait for dr batts to reply and he already did. I also moved up from a 265 and ended up with a Marlin, like the doc said, you can go either way, just depends what is on the market. Both have pros and cons but both (305 and Marlin) are excellent options!

I know its the holidays, no Marlin owners in the area?

Granted I am in CT but I have a set of Lee Jr "wishbone" mounts and riggers for sale, if you are interested,.

We are all entitled to our opinions and that is also what makes this website great. I was more turned off by the 350s gas guzzling. They are big, heavy, gas chuggers! Toss in the flywheel issues and that's why we looked to repower with F300's on the used Marlin we just bought. I was also a...

I am looking to have a cover made for our 2013 Marlin and the company we are working with is based in the area. Ideally they would like to measure our boat (not possible, its in CT), so I was wondering if there are any owners in the area who would allow them access for some measurements? The...

Repowering the 2013 (Marlin) we bought in October with new F300's - anyone have any comments or advise with regard to how you have your F300 engines propped? Grady says they send them from the factory with the SWSII SDS 15 1/2 x 17 - any comments from the members is appreciated! Thanks! EPPE

Zep, works great and its cheap. Of course like all, its a bleach based formula but its the right mix. Works great on scum in the bilge too. Be warned, you will bleach out anything you are wearing the gets dripped on. I've used it for years and suggested it to many of my friends, they all...

Finally had a chance to tinker with the electronics and discovered the boat has a ton of waypoints from the west coast of FL. Boat has no name, any chance there is a GG member who once owned a 2013 Marlin with f350s and Raymarine electronics? Anyone from FL recognize the boat? Would love to find...

Looks like there were two owners in FL, the boat was wholesaled to Off the Hook in NC, sold this spring and returned with the blown engine. Still paper trailing. Magic Bill, can you ask your friend? Maybe I will post something in that thread too, thanks for the idea!

Thanks Damian! Boat is in East Haven at Diamond Marine if you want to take a look.

Was without a boat for about 5 weeks, lol. Sold the 265 while keeping our eye on the Marlin market. Found a 2013 on dry dock with a blown 350 and convinced the listing agent to sell me the boat "as is". They owned the boat on trade, cut their losses and we closed last week. We cut a deal and...

Check out Boatcovers direct. Its a production cover and they can sell you something that best suits your 265X. I just sold mine (the boat) and kept the cover for my cousin to try on his smaller boat. If it doesn't work out for him I will sell the cover as used. It doesn't fit perfectly and we...

Check the t-stat housings too. They corroded out as well.

Can I call you Tuesday? Email me mike@diversemm.com or text me? 203 912 6476. Txs

Any GG peeps who live in the area? If so, I may be calling in a favor. Thanks! EPPE

This is a great read. I just sold my 265 after 14 years of owndership and am looking for a 2012 - 2013 Marlin for most of the above reasons. Viking88rd, we had a glass guy make a hinge in our aft access, it was expensive and not perfect but exactly what any do-it-yourselfer wants.

I can't comment good or bad as I do not own a boat with them but I also heard they are very thirsty.
