That's what I'm thinking too.... have you seen anyone add additional cleats on the bow? The existing bow cleats are certainly sturdy... and in a good spot. But that isn't what the Captain of the 140 footer is thinking. Just trying to get an idea of if this has been done before and how it was...

Interesting!

Skipping the long story, anyone put a dedicated towing eye on their Marlin? How, where, what? I don't see how to do it easily with the windlass being on the centerline. I'm wondering if two eyes adjacent to the windlass (backing plates etc..) and a bridle is the way to go? 1- No, I'm not...

Thanks! If I wrote GPH i was in error, yes I meant 1.3 mpg. Not kmpg. Ran them all weekend they seem good. After I burned off a bit of fuel 1.3 was the standard between 4200-4550 at 30-34mph.. there’s lots of room to trim these up and get good mileage, although there is some porpoising and...

Thoughts: buy an ICOM. Install wherever you want. I have the unit in the overhead cabinet and ran a extension for the mike to the dash.

I have this exact problem also on my Marlin. I agree it's because the stern is still a bit buoyant at the angle of the takeout ramp. Besides just the angst regarding the boat not being perfect on the trailer and your concerns about it not being solidly connected at that rubber stop, I've...

I lost a boat in a marina fire (not my fault!) and I can't say enough nice things about Travelers and the way they backed me up in the multiple lawsuits filed against the marina and us as "tenants in common" in the marina. Wonderful service, I slept well every night knowing I wasn't going to...

I just emailed Gladys at Pompanette about this issue. She said they sell covers, I paid for some, and after two weeks of not getting them I emailed her. She said their supplier of the covers that slip over these armrests has discontinued them, there are no more from Pompanette. I ended up...

My twin 300 V-8 Verados are plenty. I'd seriously worry about overstressing the transom with the twin 425, and if you were talking single it will be too small. As for how to install, just hook em up as normal.

These were my previous Yamaha outboards. I leave them up unless I'm doing work (as I was when the battery issue happened) or when we get a freeze. I do use a shore power cord. I like the isolator idea. The Zincs I mentioned that corrode are the ones on the outboard bracket and they are in...

Repowered my 2007 30' Marlin with 2022 300 Verado's V-8 after 15 years of use on the Yamaha 250's. Ken at PropGods sold me some Q4 (similar to the Rev4 Merc) for the old motors which worked great on the 250's for hole shot and stern lift, and Ken said give them a try on the 300's first. These...

All correct. FYI my electrical is "grounded" to the starboard engine. I found this out when I accidentally hooked up some incorrect leads off a battery and happened to notice my starboard prop bubbling when I went to the truck. Some research on diagrams showed me this. I live in a "hot"...

Thanks Mr FishTales

FYI had input from another local owner who had success with this: Schmitt & Ongaro Heavy Duty 2-Speed Wiper Motor - 2.5" Shaft - 12v SKU: ONG30991

Thank you!!! I replaced the arms too, looking forward to an awesome view up here in the PNW.

Oops, sorry. I'm 2007 GW Marlin. ElyseM, do you think the part is similar enough and the design hasn't changed and this part will work? Dealer just said the old part number was Marinco 38065,

I need a replacement for my starboard wiper motor. I'm away from the boat for next two weeks and my dealer says the one I ordered in the past is discontinued, with no exact match suggested. I thought I'd try to source myself. Anyone have the part number or have replaced theirs recently with...

Mine should be done soon. I have seen several examples and I like it. Will post results ASAP

I think you've covered everything. I had to replace that brown button fuse once, but it's really just a safety for the remote switch. My normal issue is those relays... one for fuel, one for starting. And the 30 amp fuse next to it. Mine has a big problem starting after not being used for a...

I prefer Bruce/Rocna type here in the NW... that looks like what I've been needing to do! Thanks for posting.
