I had my marina mechanics install a port lower unit (got it at hardcore marine for $1500). The Marlin was on the rack and when I asked him if he sea trailed it he said he ran the engine on the flush hose to check the job. The Yamaha 250 manual says to never run the engine off the hose, not...

Thanks guys, any idea how much the charges puts out in case I wanted to leave something else on, like the water heater or anchor light?

If I leave my battery charger on shore power and leave the refrigerator running continously off the utility battery on DC will I be discharging the batteries or will there be no drain? Thanx

Just ordered a rebuilt lower unit for my 250 Yamaha. Anybody dealt with them before?

The dock slip I'm soon going to only has a standard 110 outlet. Where can I find a plug that that has the right ends to hook into the Grady shore power? And how many amps does 110 put out? I want to run the battery charger at least, and more if able.

Thanx. I like those reasons and ideas. :goodjob

I was wondering if anyone burns one engine on main and the other on aux to keep the boat more balanced.

The lower tube was encrusted in salt. Cleaned and good to go!

Thanx guys. I'll let you know how it works out :)

Me too. I'll get that checked. Thanx

If you mean the handle that tightens by squeezing the mount......yes.

Anybody know where it is on a 96 Marlin 30?

On one om 250's I'm not getting much water coming out the blow hole. Thought it might be an impeller going bad but even when I'm flushing the motor not much comes out. It will spurt out a while then stop and kind of fill up and squirt some more. I cleaned out the tube with some weed whacker line...

Gents, any ideas for freeing up some neglected Top Gun outriggers? I've been soaking them with every kind of lube and managed to get them to go up and down, but I can't free them up to turn. I'm afraid if I put I pipe wrench on them they'll snap.

How fast does 3300 give you? And what's the GPH? At 27 I'm getting 1.3

I was thinking about trying to tow my jet ski behind my Marlin about 20 mile out to a sand island around here. Is that a good idea? Or not :)

I have a newer Marlin 30 and run her in seas like you describe. First of all, the other boats that seem to be riding better could just be an illusion. They are probably getting pounded also. On a smooth day wide open at 5400 rpm I can get to 40 mph on the old 2 stroke yamis. The best econ speed...

Thanks, can I assume if the water is spraying out about a foot that I don't have a priming problem?

I'm trouble shooting my Marlins AC system too. The water pump seems to pushing enough water and the fan spins. But the compressor is humming and doesn't seem to be running. The tech guys says to replace it, but I'm wondering if it's worth adding some freon. Opinions?

While on this subject, does anyone know where I can order an AC adaptor for my 96 Marlin? The two plugs on either side by the shore power receptacle are 4 hole.. Thanx
