Yes both motors do it and once warm run perfect. I think one did it a little before the other one, will idle about 400 rpm then when warmed up sit at 600 rpm with no problem. All fuel filters are always up to date with maintenance so I know it’s not a fuel issue.

I think I will pull the O2 sensors this off season and clean them just see if that helps out. I too maintain both motors very well, new spin on filters every year, gear oil changed every year, spark plugs every year and low, high and vst filters every other year. Have always ran Amsoil 2 stroke...

I don’t expect a boat that is close to 20 years old to perfect and the one 2000 we looked at was very nice and could tell the owner took good care of her. The other 2 just looked like the owners did not really care to maintain them properly. No boat is going to be perfect, our 1997 Tigercat has...

Wife and I are starting to look for what I think we have settled on and it’s going to be a Marlin. I really like the 2000-2003 with the molded in bench seat since we really don’t fish much the lack of a big fish box is not a big deal to us. We looked at 3 so far and each one had chipping around...

Do you sleep on the 305 and if so how is the forward berth as far as being enough for two people to sleep comfortably? My wife and I are currently looking to finally upgrade from our F26 Tigercat that we stay on a lot, so far this season we have spend 36 nights on her so obviously anything...

Have had her for the past 12 years and still love her.

1997 F26 Tigercat "Sunny Life" has treated my wife and I great for the past 12 years

I have a pair of 2007 Yamaha HPDI 200with about 800 hrs on each and when first started both idle low, 400-450 rpm and sometimes with cut out. Restart everytime and once warmed up they idle at 600 rpm and run perfect. When they are cold if you try and put them in neutral and bring the idle up the...

Thanks for all the reply’s it ended up being the spin on filter housing had a little bit of buildup where the filter o-ring seats. Pulled the housing off and used super fine sand paper to clean it up and now is back up and running. Always nice when it’s a cheap fix which is uncommon on boats.

Going to boat in a few minutes and check it out. I am guessing right now it will be something with the fuel line or pick up. Since my new primer ball does not stay collapsed when squeezed I don’t think asv problem. Boat does have separate tanks for each side. I will post hopefully good news...

Was just doing some reading and someone else mentioned that. I had pulled up the round cover in floor to look at the fuel tank where the fuel exists and it just looks like a brass 90 degree fitting to the fuel line. Not really sure if it has a anti siphon valve or not. Going to google it and...

Have a 1997 Tigercat with twin 200 Yamaha HPDI's and seem to have a fuel issue. As I do every year I replace the spin on fuel filters, squeeze the primer ball a bunch of times and motors start up and run with no problems. This time around did the same thing, motors started on land fine, splashed...

Wife and I have owned our 1997 Tigercat since 2006 and love her. Repowered in 2007 with Yamaha 200 HPDI and have had zero problems. Over the years we have talked about selling and getting a Marlin or 330 Express but still enjoy our Tigercat “Sunny Life” to much. Every time I walk away from...

"Sunny Life" Grady White F26 Tigercat!!!!!!!!

I think I will call around and see what some local businesses have to offer. I am also worried about buying the top from WMW marine just to get home and find out it does not fit just right then be out the money on the top.

I need to replace the existing fiberglass hardtop on my 1997 Tigercat do to water intrusion from where the outriggers were mounted. It appears water has enter threw the large hole where the outriggers go through the fiberglass top and has started to rot it away. I noticed about a year ago small...

Re: RPM's dropping on starboard motor when trying to get on Awesome glad you got it fixed.

Re: RPM's dropping on starboard motor when trying to get on If I was betting on it I would say VST filter. Had a similar problem on port motor a few years ago. Twin 2007 200HPDI motors and when coming off a wave the port motor would bog down, would be fine if not trying to keep the rpm's up...

Use it on every fill up. Just ordered some from Amazon for $50.00 per 32 ounce bottle stuff is liquid gold.

Thanks for the reply's going to try and find a few of each over the winter months and crawl around to see which one feels better to us. I did see a very nice Marlin with 350's yesterday while watching the Blue Angels fly here in Baltimore. Very pretty looking boat and could see myself in one no...
