I just got my new to me Marlin, and going through the process of flipping switches and figuring her out. The seacock valve that controls the live well is stuck in the 3/4 open position. The pump turns on but wont pump any water, not sure if its a bad pump or the valve is not open enough. The...

Overkill? What is this word overkill? :mrgreen: . I had mine in Florida where the ground is flat and the only time we are on an incline is at the ramp or over a bridge. I pulled it with a 2005 Tacoma, and it pulled it like a champ. I also had a 1995 1500 chevy and the both handled it about the...

Just got the boat and the previous owner removed the old one. I am moving up from a smaller boat and a windless is new to me. I will be anchoring to bottom fish in roughly 50-200ft or so. I have seen a few different types, any recommendations? Is this a place to spend the money and get the good...

Thanks for the response. I can understand things both ways. For my price range if I get a newer hull I will have older motors but buying this older hull I can afford new power. All other things being equal at least I will have the reliability of the motors. Im going down to check out the hull...

I sold my Seafarer recently and was waiting for winter to come along in hopes of getting a good deal on a Marlin someone was growing out of. My plan was to find a 2000ish hull with newer power or repower myself but regardless I wanted the boat rigged with A/C and a generator. I came across an...

You have to take out the live well. Not to bad, the worst part is the lower drain hose. Getting that one on and off was tight.

Re: depth finder intermittent malfunction You may have done this but be sure to actually disconnect the connection and check for corrosion. It might look good from the outside but sometimes you just can't tell. Good luck, I know it gets frustrating. Nick

Re: depth finder intermittent malfunction Check your power and ground connections to the unit. It may just be as simple as cleaning the connections. I had a similar situation with my Raymarine unit, took me a while to figure it out because of course I assumed it was something much more...

Brian, yes I guess I should have clarified I was speaking about the 33 express.

I have settled on either of these two boats as my next purchase, final decision will probably come down to which I can find the best bang for my buck. However after talking to a couple Express owners about trailering issues, I have began leaning more towards the Marlin. Now, I don't know anyone...

10 minutes and 4 beers doesn't sound so bad. Replacing my last thru hull took 15 min before I cracked it. Just couldn't resist one more 1/4 turn. I'm going to order the part and invite my mechanic friend over for some "beers". thanks guys Nick

Recently while cleaning the boat I broke the lever that switches the raw water pump from the live well to the saltwater wash down for the deck (the one on the stern just above floor level below the live well) :bang . Before I go pulling out the live well and guessing on the best solution I...

Top end speed I rarely do but I know its over 40 and less than 46. My flowscan has always been dead on as far as total gallons burned when refueling so I trust the 3 MPG I burn at 30 mph. My concern was the low end power when I bought set up the combo but it does the job, very well. Different...

I currently get 3 mpg at 30 mph with a hard top and I have the F200. I have seen the original performance numbers posted on this site before and I'm sure if you look you will find it. Basically it broke down to the F200, I know was more economical and I believe faster, than the F225. If this is...
