I pulled up my deck sections to clean them up before I put my new deck plates in. I discovered that the thin piece of fibreglass between the aft deck section and the deck section over the tanks is supported by a piece of plywood that is wet and rotten. I'm assuming that these pieces were...

Thanks! Bought 4 yesterday from Tempress in ivory colour. Going to replace the cabin one and the far aft one with screw outs and the two over the gas tanks with pop outs.

Sent my $20 I saved 10 times that with the advice I got this week.

My deckplate are old and ugly and won't clean up anymore. Also, even with new "O" rings I think they leak a little. My boat is a 1992 Marlin and the plate have an 8" outside diameter. Who makes replacements in off-white and which is better: pop-outs, screw-outs or the ones with the T-Handle lock?

Is it always the sending unit My gauges don't work at all really. I put in a fuel flow gauge and use that to know when I'm getting low. Is it as simple as replacing the sending units?

Thanks! That why this forum can be useful. A cheap and easy solution.

I have a 1992 Marlin. It has a pair of primer pumps to bring fuel up to the engines. Can anyone direct me as to who made them and where to find replacements?

Count me in! What a great idea. The access is horrible. The deck plates are barely big enough to get in and open the through hulls. You can't do anything with the deck hatch installed. In fact if I'm working on a project that needs constant access I just set in place until I'm sure everything...

Better than nothing I have all three. A hard wired VHF, a waterproof hand held and I take my cell. I still keep paper charts for everywhere I go. If I go somewhere new I buy a chart. I think Murphy must be related to me.

Cell Phone not a good idea I'm in Canada and we are told strongly a cell phone is NO substitute for a VHF. If you run into trouble and call 911 you get the police and all they can do is PHONE the Coast Guard who are monitoring VHF Channel 16. We actually need a license to use a VHF here. I took...

Take a course I took the power squadron course and sarted slow. I chartered alot before I bought. I grew up on sailboats and small fishboats but there is a difference between being a passenger and the guy in charge. I took a very experienced guy out on my boat 3 or 4 times and let him captain...

Jabsco and Rule I'm sure they are made by Jabsco and the pumps are by Rule. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... assNum=298 That's the link to the West marine catalogue.

kicker It doesn't list at all. I was worried about the weight because I re-installed a generator too. I have a Kohler 5E. It doesn't list at all. I generally just leave the tie bar on. It has enough scope to let me tilt the kicker up with the bar attached. Steering response is ok but not great...

I decide to replace my forward bilge pump and switch based on the fact that I was getting only intermittent functioning when it was switched on. I pulled out the pump and the switch. Both Rule, a 1500 GPH pump and the switch enclosed in a blue box type cover. When I steam cleaned my bilge a...

Under the sink? I have a '92. I had a replacement box made of marine plywood and painted it white. I made it so the factory plastic drawer would slide in. Not pretty but it works. I use it for spare parts like propeller hubs, fuel filters and such.

kicker I have a 1992 Marlin with Mercury 2 Strokes. I salmon fish and it won't troll slow enough on one engine so I added a 9.9 Mercury Saildrive as a kicker. It will move my boat at about 5 knots max. We once lost both engines and had to motor in on the kicker so I know. I use an "EZ" steer...

Try this http://www.crockersmarinestore.com/serv ... ide/Detail If that's not the part your marlin is new enough you might get it from your dealer.

I don't know. It's a Canadian boat and they may have gotten a deal on "old" stock engines or ordered it so far in advance they got stuck with the 225's. Speed is not an issue in BC waters. We have a lot of wood in the water and very choppy seas due to all wind/tide/currents. I cruise my Marlin...

It's easy A kit is dirt cheap. It took me and a friend less than 2 hours to take the head out, put in a whole new kit and put it back. Piece of cake. Probably the easiest job I did on my boat.

I'm looking at a 2006 330 that has everything I want except it only has the 225's. Can someone who has run these engines on a 330 please let me know what they think of them and what kind of real life performance they get.
