My guess is your VST tank filter is clogging up. Do a search on the hull truth, lots of info.

I repowered my 2005 Marlin with Yamaha 300s in March of 14. Curious what others that have repowered are running for props. I have a full tower on mine and only able to get 5200 rpm, trimmed out. My cavitation plates are where they should be so engine height is not an issue. I'm running the exact...

The short answer is repower :o

Tow mine at least once a year 300 miles one way. I've done it with a 2006 f350 6.0 DRW diesel 4x4 and 2013 Chevy 2500 diesel 4x4. Granted the ford was used and not the greatest diesel ford ever made but IMO the Chevy 2500 is perfect for the job. The ford struggled over bridges and at the ramp...

Not specifically but if you search my posts you will find them. Truth is I got better numbers in the river no doubt with the 4 blades and it handled better offshore but I never got more than 1 mpg offshore.

Not sure man. I was able to get 5900 rpm with the 15 diameter 17 pitch props so I don't think you're going to want anymore pitch. The new yamahas are geared differently and Gw specs them with 15.5 diameter, 17 pitch 3 blades. I ran offshore the other day with my old 15.25 19 pitch props and was...

1.3 would be great for me. If I can't find a good set of 4 blades I'm going to go with the 15.5 17 pitches they spec the boats with. REB I sold my props to the dealer, he offered me more than I planned to sell them for so I took it.

How your performance offshore?

I had merc rev 4s 17 pitch and loved them. 2005 yamaha f250s. Contact Ken at prop gods for more information. If you search this forum you will find more about this topic.

Thanks. I have been In Contact with Ken but really I want to talk to some people who have run the new engines and found a prop for their Marlin. All the theory in the world doesn't compare to spinning the props offshore.

I just repowered my 2005 Marlin with Yamaha F300s. I had a set of merc rev 4 s 15 diameter 17 pitch but can't use the rev 4 with the new yamahas. We tried a set of 4 blade turbos 14.5 diameter. 19 pich 5400 rpms max and 15 diameter 19 pich 3 blades with max rpm 5300. With the 15 diameter 19...

Motors are in! Finally :dance ... I talked about the time lapse but it seems it really is not practical. I have to drop it off and they will be working on it in shifts so it would involve changing batteries of the go pro and memory cards. To much work. I will put something together though, and...

Best thing I ever did was switch to a 4 blade prop. When it get sloppy and she won't plane without pounding pretty good, the rev 4 let's me maintain a speed where I'm just about planed and getting decent fuel consumption. I can run comfortably in anything I fish in at 18 knots with those props...

If you want to go in there and buy new 300s with fly by wire controls and the digital gauges you're looking at about 54k. If you want to take your time and find good deals on the equipment, wait for engine rebates and stuff, you can probably to it for 46k. I am paying 54 out the door with taxes...

Why not Rob? Haha. There is one problem with your theory though. We drink all the beer, and I still only get 1mpg! :mrgreen: I was just ball parking numbers with Mark for the repower and when I asked about 250s he just kind of looked at me like I had 3 heads. Apparently, those are not an...

Decided to repower my 05 Marlin from 2005 F250s to new 300 Yamahas. Motors won't be at the dealer until the 14th of February (happy vday to me) so I have some time to get excited. In fact, I remember this feeling as a kid waiting for Xmas. So, you guys that have already upgraded, what do I have...

Re: Anyone have pics of Roll control dive tank rack on Marli Yea I just ordered a set from divers supply.com. They had the best prices by far on the components. I don't know if its a new thing for them or what but a lot of things I have ordered recently, they have been the best price. I just...

Re: Anyone have pics of Roll control dive tank rack on Marli Also, did you mount two of the 48 inch bars down each side, or just one?

Re: Anyone have pics of Roll control dive tank rack on Marli Thanks for the reply. I will probably have to fabricate something as well after looking at the rail. Any pictures you have would be greatly appreciated. I know uploading is a pita so if you prefer you can email me them at...

The roll control system is looking like my best option for mounting my dive tanks. Anyone have a picture of it installed with and without tanks? I assume you just take off the bolster, mount the track, put bolster back on then just snap in the actual tank holder. I'm hoping to mount 6 tanks on...
