Ok, no 28 foot riggers. I guess the deal will go to someone else. Does anyone have spreaders on their riggers and have the wishbone type lee holder? I hate drilling holes in my boat! I do currently run two lines and a teaser from my riggers without spreader bars but I can't do this pulling the...

Thanks Tuna Man, I believe it can be done but don't want it to look ridiculous just because I found a good deal. 28 foot of outrigger already 6 feet above the water line might look a little funny. Anyone have a double spreader on their Marlin or 33 express? Would like to see what it looks like. Nick

All I know right now is its a good deal. I haven't called the guy or anything, maybe I got a little ahead of myself. What holders and set up do you guys have? I know with the wishbones you can't have the spreaders because of the hard top. For some reason I thought the MX8000 was the holder...

So I found a deal on a set of double spreader outriggers. Purchased brand new but never installed. They are the Lees, it's an 8 foot holder and 20 foot rigger. The riggers I have now are 20 foot with the wishbone holders. I have wanted to upgrade to spreader bars but have always been unable to...

I just wanted to update the thread. I finally got the panda certified tech on the boat. He changed the oil, impeller and adjusted the valves. Motor starts and shuts down much better. He said either the guy was trying to rip me off or just didn't know what he was doing. Pretty crappy either way...

Have not had personal experience with them but know people who hate them and people that love them. Overall they do have issues but with the updates I'm told they do okay. I do know they are super sensitive to fuel but a better resource is the hull truth. Do a search and you will find the good...

In case any other poor bastard decides to tackle this, here is what I had to do. Remove phone jack and all trim around DVD player. Some how fit 5 inches of hand into 3 inch hole to leave a small flash light in the back to illuminate the cavity. Get a long thin knife blade and slide under the...

Ok, dumb question (I think) how the hell do you get the DVD player out of a 2005 Marlin? Screaming at it and throwing screwdrivers does not seem to working. There has to be an easy way. :bang Thanks Nick

I have had mine on my Marlin for about 5 months now and could not be happier. I don't know why they put 3 blades on to begin with after seeing the difference. Search my post and you will find my write up. Get in touch with Ken from Prop gods 941 733 5808. Even if you don't buy from him he will...

I got a number of the Panda rep in the area and gave him a call. He basically told me there have been some problem with some technicians basically going overboard with repairs. He said there was one in my area but wasn't in his office and not sure if my guy was him. I guess they basically pull...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij-XRh9GmNg Here is a video of the Panda starting. I am planning of calling FP today if they are open.

Any Panda owners notice a loud knock during start up that goes away after the engine gets up to running rpm? I started a thread on THT about an issue i'm having. Long story short I had a guy come take a look at it because it was not getting up to full rpm and not getting power to the panel. He...

I got to use the ipad for the first time fishing yesterday. First the Good: -I signed up for ripcharts and used their SST chart to navigate offshore. They don't have an app, you just pull up their web page when you have wifi and then your position is displayed over the chart, turn off wifi/3G...

I searched and could not find exactly what I wanted that would fit my helm set up. What I did is bought a Innovative Secure iPad IOP204 Holder with Wall Mount. I liked the hardware from pictures I could see online and liked the fact it was lockable. When i received the mount I really liked the...

Interesting. Good info. Thanks Nick

Interesting. If you don't mind I am just curious of a few variables. Have you owned the boat since new? What has been your flushing routine, garden hose hook up or muffs? How many hours were on the motors before you changed the T-stats? Just wondering if its possible the previous owner didn't...

Next time I am down at the boat I will take a look, I can't remember off the top of my head. I should be down there by Wednesday. You wont be disappointed with the props, I have no doubt raising the motors might help performance a little, but I wouldn't worry about it to much. Nick

Cav plates are underwater but don't think its worth raising motors because I'm happy with performance. I get enough lift to plane at a much lower rpm, not sure else how to gauge stern lift.

X2 what he said. Add a sat phone to your safety gear if you want to buy some extra security. Nick

I was never able to get max rpm, I think 5900 was all I could get with three blade. I can't remember what rpm I hit testing with the 4 blade but I think it was 5700 and only lost 4 mph top end. The propgods guy suggested I move the engines up a hole but really not interested in that. I started...
