When I re-powered my 88 sailfish with HPDI's in '02 I had the same issues. It was right about the time we started using E10. The E10 wound up cleaning all the built up crud over the years and sent it to the filters. I actually put a ball valve below the 10 micron filter because it would clog the...

I needed two vinyl repairs since owning the boat. First one was for the fold down seat after a spiny dogfish tore into it. Second was when I dropped a knife on the companion seat. I had them both repaired by a local (TALENTED!!!!)bolster guy. He was able to use a special technique that involved...

Has anyone ever replace a shear pin in their thruster? The book says it can be done from inside the boat but I don't want to undo the wrong bolt and cause a flood condition.

If your sure the pump stops pumping because of a clogged filter and not the pump starting to fail, pour a 1/2 gal of bleach in your fresh water holding tank and let it sit for a day or so. '05 300 Marlin w/F250's

Do yourself a favor and consider the larger pump..If you have 2 rams(which you probably do) your gonna need the larger one anyway

Same to you and yours, Fishtales! :nicethread '05 300 Marlin F250's

I wouldnt do it. WAY underpowered..I wouldnt put anything less then a 225 on that heavy hull. You will wind up putting more strain on the engine making it work harder resulting most likely with a shorter life span '05 300 Marlin F250's

I went back and re-read seasicks posts and didnt see ANY Condescending remarks..You asked about standard motor oil and filter in a 2 stroke..now if you just bought the boat and havent used it yet and no NOTHING about engines thats one thing,,but you had the boat 3 years. What oil have you been...

Just make sure your water seperator is a 10 micron type.

I have mine bolted on top of my hardtop on the stbd side.Where ever you decide just make sure you can get to it without an issue if you had to manually deploy. '05 300 Marlin F250's

I remember seeing an episode of Shipshape TV a while ago where they were using a product that looked like teak and holly but it was a sheet that came in a roll(i think its rubber)looked very nice and easy to install. '05 300 Marlin F250's

The water heater doesnt get juice from the battery..Thats a 110 item. It gets it either directly from the shore power or genset power. '05 300 Marlin F250's

Thats exactly the way I have been doing it since new '05 300 Marlin F250's

:uhm......It sounds like he wants to know how fast hes going at 4600 RPM's while getting 1.3 MPG .. '05 300 Marlin F250's

We usually troll about 10 (Tuna)..I installed 3 more on the gunnel for a total of 7 and we use the hardtop holders as well..Quite a trip when they all go off at once.. YAHOO!!! :dance '05 300 Marlin F250's

Scott 1.6?? WOW!! I never got better then 1.4 which is VERY rare(usually no water and low fuel)..We just reciently went offshore on a wreck trip..Ice gear and 5 guys in 3-6 ft seas I was getting .8 MPG.. But I always keep the fuel and water full.What props are u spinning? '05 300 Marlin w/F250's

I get 1.2 MPG 2-3 ft seas... Less with a loaded boat in sloppy seas. '05 300 Marlin F250's

My pump started acting up last year..turned out the pressure switch went bad..You can buy just the head that contains the pressure switch for about $50. '05 300 Marlin w/F250's

Yup, you are mistaken... My '05 F250's have VST tanks and its recommended that they be drained. '05 300 Marlin w/F250's

Dont forget to drain VST tank and might want to consider the internal zincs if they have never been done.I do mine every other year(between the spark plugs)
