2007 marlin with f250 has the nose in the water up to the forward intake screen with a full load.

Thanks bc282 and dduflo. The pictures are a big help and gave me a few ideas. I will have to pull the covers in the aft bunk and see what kind of room I have to work with. Thanks again guys.

Thanks again for the write up. I have been looking the manual over good. One thing I didn't like is that you have to mount the control unit with 19 inchs of the pump. I was hoping to mount the unit inside the dash console and put the pump down on the helm floor next to the Seastar pump. They...

Thanks guys. I was looking at the Garmin again today. I like their color display and the Shadow Drive is a great feature. Most times when I spot debris I don't think I would have time to reach and disable the A/P. Looking at the install manual I see it needs to be tapped into the Yamaha...

I pretty much made up my mind that I want the Simrad Autopilot. I like the color display in the Raymarine but it seams everyone on all the boards I checked say the Simrad unit is the way to go. My question is the about the A/P pump. Has anyone installed the Teleflex pump that bolts up to the...

There painted??????? I'd like to see how well they hold up because color gelcoat fades bad.

A big problem I have found with replacement snaps is the style of crimp inside the snap. If you look at your original snap you will see you have a nice and narrow roll crimp on the inside. The tool from West Marine will make the crimp look like a star burst that presses the material as far out...

These engines are still new to me. The first oil change was a mess. Next time I am going to take oil absorbent rags and pack them under the filter. I will have to see if i can get a small container and place it under the channel beneath the filter or just try the bag method. I bought a nice...

Went down to my new Marlin 300 over the weekend to have some fun on the last day of summer and found my bow rail bent over to one side. Some lousy sailbote hit it and took off to his home port and denies everything. Don't know how much the damage is going to cost and I am thinking of filling a...

I am looking to get a custom fit cover for my 300 Marlin. Has anybody used the Fisher Canvas Company? I was wondering how they are and how much it they cost. Also saw another company called Fisher Brothers that made a cover out of what looks like heavy Ty-vac material. Just wondering what other...

The new site looks great. I think one thing that might be nice is to have more threads so problems and question can be can be listed by component, systems or even boat model. This is a great place with a wealth of information that is shared between GW owners.

WOW, nice. That is how the water looks when I am going over the Edison Bridge going to work or coming home. Once the weekend comes it is a different story.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS A LOW PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this the new E-10 formula? It might just have to order a case.

Hey thats great. It feels good when find and fix a problem like that rather than paying someone to replace parts until the problem is fixed.

Could be a shorted connector. Just fixed a simialer problem with mine. The previous owner had all the electronics installed by a professional installer. I discovered that I can't hear anyone off in the distance. I can hear Coast Guard and Seatow base stations that transmit at a higher...

You have to remove the refrigerator.

Don't know the merc system to well but I have ran my last boat for 20 years with an OMC King Cobra. It was a real nightmare when it was new. The shift system was never set up correctly from the factory when new and the dealer was completely clueless. When I would try to throttle up to...

Yeah, that is from the A/C. I got the mat a while back on E-bay. Some guy had a bunch of them. Don't know if they were made to be sold or if they were just a promotional item. It was made by Matworks.com.

The previous owner of my boat has a post on this forum about water getting into the front bilge. He thought the side drawer at the walk around step was leaking. After a heavy rain I can get 3 to 6 gallons of water in the front. Looking behind the holding tank I confirmed the water was not...

They have replacement bulbs that have to be soldered in ???? I was looking at replacement LED's but I figure if they just make contact in the socket like the old bulb then you would still have the same problems with a loose connection. I was figuring on installing a whole new lamp assembly...
