Exact-o. Use the battery input side of the switch if you need an unswitched always on power source. I added a small 6 position AGC fuse panel off each of my battery inputs cause i hate inline glass fuse holders. The same hold true for the negative side. Put a common bus off the negative...

If you go AGM, make sure your charger (if you have one) can use a charge profile for AGM's. jh

A good drift platform is a terrible runner and vica versa. I'd rather be able to get home when it kicks up then drift somewhere I lost my teeth getting to. My dock neighbor has a Carolina Skiff while a great drifter, if you like airboat turning and busting your a$$ in one footers. The thing...

Both engines on main until down to 20 gal, then switch to aux for long runs requiring both tanks. Otherwise I only keep each about 1/2 to 2/3 full and switch between them always keeping both motors on the same tank. My floscan would not totalize right without using a single tank though. If...

I went to Annapolis on Wed to watch the Blue angles. Burned 35.5 gallons for the day according to the floscan. I will be running at 6 knts to allot of places this season. Even with the new bottom, no out riggers, and no tower, I've improved my economy by 20-25%, but I still won't run like...

If the trailler is way too large, you may need to move the head stock and axles back. Do you have a photo to post. jh

That is the best way I have ever heard it explained. I took a pararaph to try and say just that. jh

el jefe, I pulled the manual for the 225 and your options will be limited with this head unit. There is no ipod connection and the adapter for Kenwood's I heard was expensive. Anyway, adding on to what Mega said, you will need an amp. The 225 has a pre amp output for the rear channel...

If you are not triming the motors up your are wasting a ton of fuel. On my Johnsons it is the difference between 32gph per cruise at 26knts and 24gph cruise at the same speed. The best way to look at it is if your motor has any negative trim, meaning it is trimmed below perpendicular to...

What type of head unit. there is probabaly a simple way if you can tell me what make and model I might be able to help. jh

Since I'm a DIY guy and my wife spends plenty of time aboard I think I'm ok. jh

Just a little eco tip, Try KY it is water based and safe for the environement. Not that a smear of bearing grease will go far. I also use a little smear when I reinsert hoses to keep them from get inevitably stuck. It has worked well and is compatible with all systems including freshwater. jh

My marlin runs terrible with an empty back tank and full forward tank. I'm usually running off the main (forward tank) first. The extra weight forward with an empty rear creates noticable bow steer. However my marlin is a 280 with euro transom (stepped rear), your 300 has a different rear...

If you have a fuel flow meter, turn it on and you can watch when the flowe zeros and thus the engine is primed. If not flow the 10 second rule is good, I can always here the pump for the first motor and tell when it primed base don sound. jh

Sorry for the bad photo, but its from when I bought the boat. Do they look like this?

Factory wiring was two seperate batteries to one battery switch which then goes onto the 50A circuit breaker in the battery compartment. the entire Grady manual for the 1990 marlin which shows the schematic can be found on the Grady website. Your 50A breaker shoud look like mine. It...

Pete, I just found the ad, it was Veroado 4-S for the $10900. here is a link to the ad. http://njpdfonline.showpubs.net/NJ/Boat ... er/107.pdf

That's who it was Brian, Almars. A single 150 Optimax rigged was advertised for $10,900. I assume it is a left over, but new is new..jh

BTW, don't forget to consider suzuki. jh

Check the Saltydog. I though Links had a deal for a single 150 Opti rigged was $10,900.
