    Same thing happened to mine this past season. That’s the third one in 10 years, actually just finished ordering a Airmar P66 triducer that way I can eliminate the separate paddle wheel for speed.

    Trailering with Eisenglass Up??

    Towed our Tigercat from Maryland to Key Largo and back with eisenglass down with zero problems. I did roll them up at one point on the way down to see if fuel economy would get better and it made no difference

    Tiger Cat Propellor Selection

    If I can remember to look in the morning I will see what ours are although we hade 200 HPDI engines. I think they might be a little big since we only get 5k rpms but I never run that except for a few times a year just to open her up. We also love our 1997 TIGERCAT next year will be 13 years and...

    Thanks for the reply, do you do overnights on the boat? If so how comfortable is the forward berth, are you able to stretch out or do you use the aft berth? What speed do you cruise at, what rpm's and about what is the fuel burn at cruise?

    Rolled the dice and I lost it seems.

    Makes me wonder if I should pull my tanks in our 1997 Tigercat and check them Have never smelled or seen any fuel in the bilge but I guess you really never know until you check into it. If you have not had any problems would you pull tanks or wait till something comes up?

    Engine starts runs fine then dies out...

    I had a problem once where when I replaced the spin on fuel filter there was a small bit of corrosion where the o-ring seals the filter to the housing and it was allowing it to suck air in and not fill up the filter. Just figured I would mention that.

    Vhf lesson

    I never leave the dock without mine on. Came home one day after fishing and heard a boat had started to sink around where I was fishing but did not have vhf on.

    Looking to buy Marlin any advice?

    Yes that's the one, it was a very nice boat especially for a close to 20 year old boat. Don't really recall anything that stood out but we did only hop on it for a few minutes didn't even go for a ride I do think the price seems a little high even with the newer motors We just decided that we...
