    I have a 2003 marlin. I went to the Miami boat show in 2017 and purchased a bowthruster from Florida Bow Thrusters. They came to my marina in Panama City FL and installed it. It looks better than factory and is the best addition I have ever made to my boat for under $10k. It made docking in...

    I had the exact same issue. I opted to have the welding done. The shop here at Treasure Island marina in Panama City Fl did a great job and three years later plus 200 more hours on my twin Yamaha 225s with no problem. I did get the full exhaust repair kit from SIM Yamaha. Well worth the money...

    2003 Marlin generator

    I have a 2003 Marlin. I have replaced the starter on the Kohler gas generator 2 times in 3 years. The space is very limited for any other brand. Has anyone else had a similar issue and how did you solve it? It would not be so bad it the starter were easily accessible.

    Got the call Yamaha F225 owners dread

    Good luck with the $1500 price. SIM Yamaha sells the kit with oil pump for around $1200. no mechanic will do it for $300 labor not to mention the other worn or corroded parts they may encounter, cost of oil and filter and sea trial. I hope they get that cost in writing ahead of time!

    Got the call Yamaha F225 owners dread

    I found the corrosion when I had both feet off changing out the water pumps. I was aware of the potential because of the many posts and purchased an inspection camera ($89) from Harbor Freight and looked up the exhaust port myself and saw the issue. It wasn't until I committed and the engines...

    Got the call Yamaha F225 owners dread

    I got that same call in 2014 for my 2003 Yamaha twin F225 motors with 600 hours. Always flushed and dry stored, made no difference. One motor required welding on the power head to correct some corrosion. I paid around 8K. Two years later and all is well. I want to get as many hours as possible...

    2003 Marlin cabin carpet

    My cabin carpet in my 2003 Marlin is worn out. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement carpet with non skid backing to replace it. I do not want to use any peel and stick product like sea dek because if I want to remove it, that would be very difficult.

    94 Marlin, looking to replace outriggers

    I had a similar issue and placed the Taco telescoping outriggers in the Lee holders mounted on the side of the cabin. I had to come up with a makeshift adapter sleeve as one is not made. The outrigger unhinges and lays down.

    Bow Thruster

    I had the bow thruster installed by Florida Bow Thrusters who used a mobile unit to come to my marina in Panama City FL. I met them while I was at the Miami boat show. It was around $8k. It is my new favorite toy. It looks like a factory job.

    Livewell pump on seacock

    I have a 2003 Grady White Marlin. Does anyone have experience mounting a livewell pump directly on seacock. I have a Shurflo 1500 that seems heavy. I am replacing a Rule 1600 that has gone bad for third time in 2 years. What pump do you like and where do you mount it?
