    Winterization of my 2002 GW Marlin

    If your boat has AC, don't forget to empty the strainer by the little petcock screw and disconnect the hose line from the pump. Beg borrow or steal a small air compressor and blow out the water in the line via the disconnected hose. Open all seacocks and leave open until spring.

    F225 Poppet Valve

    This is some very good information. Thanks to all contributors. I know that the engine has one, because it is shown in the manual and the part is available for the F225. I am now going to replace it after haul out in a couple of weeks. Slacktime

    F225 Poppet Valve

    Has anyone replaced the Poppet Valve (I think it's also called the Pressure control Valve) on a Yamaha F225? Any advice on how often or symptoms to indicate replacement. Engines have 680 hours, but I don't know if it ever was replaced. thanks

    VHF radio disabled/static turning on Garmin Plotter 188c

    moccq, I had the same problem with the Garmin 188C on my 2000 Adventure 208. I tried everything including filter capacitors on the dc, bi-filar wound chokes separation of circuits etc. One day out of desparation, I moved my hand held radio running on it's own batteries near the unit and...

    I might need a new trim/tilt motor!! Help!

    I had a similar problem with a 2000 208 with a 150 2 stroke. I replaced the seals and it slowed the leak rate, but it still leaked. I believe that there was corrosion under the unit against the hull (where you can't see it).. I had a solution but you're not gonna like it. I ended up selling...

    150 hp for 208Adventurer

    I owned a 2000 208 for ten years with a 150 Yamaha 2 stroke. I added a hard top and trim tabs in year 2. It may seem a little under powered with the additional weight as mentioned in previous posts when loaded with 4 husky guys and fishing gear, but overall the performance was rock solid. It...

    remote oil tank not pumping

    I had a very strange experience with the oil tank pump. During a 4 hour run in my 2000 Adventure 208 with a 150 2 stroke that I just sold this fall from York to Booth Bay Harbor Maine the engine suddenly went into 2000 rpm limiting mode. I think it tried to sound the alarm, but the fuse blew...

    Marlin Tackle Station

    Thanks for the info Guys. I found the Flambeau Tuff Tainer Zerust boxes C98-05004, 14.25" X 9" X 2" fit perfectly. Also I think the Plano 3700 series will fit as well. Of all places, the best prices were at WalMart! Not the first place I would go but money talks! SlackTime

    Marlin Tackle Station

    I recently purchased a 2003 Marlin on a bank repo. Everything is up and running after about 3 weeks of hard work but who's complaining because it is a great boat. The only issue is that I am missing the tackle drawers from the rigging station behind the helm seat. I was told to try to use...
