Cylinder on the F225 is different from the OX66. I repowered last winter. I have 1 off OX66"s if you need a replacement. Its a 5345

Id estimate 45K with corrosion kits on motors, 40 without. I know a guy here in the Northeast Looking for one. I have that set up on a 98, and love it. Bowthruster ?

Some of those lakes have a great deal of limestone (hardness) which can deposit in the motor and eventually interfere with cooling. You may want to look into scale removers and perhaps use it in your flush a couple times per season

ONLY 300 Hours .... WOW.

Great Info. I'd like to try a 2000 watt, shut off charger and water heater. My fridge is DC.

People are way too sensitive. There are some handy materials there !

Some of these older Marlins have very low hours on the hulls. I bought a 98 with 2 strokes, newer trailer, bow thruster, for 45 last season. Repowered with used 225 HP 4 strokes, for a very reasonable price. I did the work myself so saved a few thousand there. It is a LOT of boat for the money...

Water treatment for "harness" is a very big business. That isn't salt, I bet if you taste it you'll agree. You may want to flush with CRM or some chemicals used for boiler feed water. Even a mild vinegar solution may be effective. The worrisome part is that eventually hardness build up will...

I run the motors in forward up against the bow stop while its getting cranked tight. Haven't noticed that issue. I'm on a bunk trailer.

so that's the answer I suspected 2000 not enough. incidentally I consider myself fortunate NOT to have a generator installed. I hear nothing but bad things about them- not to mention the space the take up must make repairs more difficult

Does anybody run their AC on a 20 Marlin with a portable (like Honda) generator ? I was told 2000 watts isn't enough ? It would be a nice option out on the swim platform in some cases when I don't have shore power.

great motors. I ran one for years. Plugs Low Pressure Fuel Pumps Thermostats Clean O2 sensor Fuel Filters Water Pump Gear Oil Grease Beyond that if you have any fuel problems check/clean the screen in the VST tank Another common item was overheating because poppit valve gets dirty/stuck...

I had one with a single 250 3.3L and it was great. 15.75X15P Prop

Stand on motor and bounce up and down....

A few years ago I had a case in which I had 2 bad spark plugs out of 6..... you mentioned he replaced the plugs. I was loosing my mind trying to trouble shoot. This was found in 5 minutes with a spark plug tester - by a pro.

I just bought a new 6 man valise for 1250. Up in new England.. .

I put a set of used F225's on my 98 Marlin, and sold the OX66's. It was a pretty reasonably priced repower and I absolutely love the set up. I was able to do it all myself, with the help of a friend with a fork truck. They bolt right up onto the same holes, but you need to update the steering...

How much do you want for the motor that isn't corroded through to the oil pan ?

There are a whole bunch of good F-225's on the market that had the corrosion service done. You could probably grab a replacement and swap out the bad one for 6-7K. It would a couple hours. Then sell the bad one for parts... They are easy to swap with a fork truck. Even if you have...

I bought the whole new arm for a Gulfstream at WM a couple years ago for about 80.00. It was an absolute piece of crap and never worked as well as the original on the other side. I'm looking for a refill for my 98 Marlin. This one is bolted on. Not a "pop-off"
