Also, on the back of your switch panel check the slide on connectors to the Auk/Main they should be pink wires. Mine slid off recently. You may have a poor connection there.

sounds like a kinked vent line. that's a new boat, i'd tell the dealer

From what I can tell the VHF accessory wire in the electronics box comes from engine batteries. I'm going run that to the fuse block, into which my GPS/RADAR/VHF are connected.

OK, so the breaker did it. My next improvement will be moving the 12V to the bridge, radar, gps, running lights, live well etc. over to the engine batteries so I can keep them charged on multiple day trips, or long days at anchor in the fog. I understand isolating the DC panel in the cabin...

Somebody a while back posted a great replacement wiper for a Marlin from Bosch I think ? I cant figure out the search feature. Anyone know about that thread ?

Also this was a boat that never left the dock. So the stayed at peak charge all season and never demanded any power.

I bought a 98 with triple axle trailer last summer. I found it to be very trailerable with a an F250 or Chev 2500HD gas power. Three axles of surge brakes stop it real well.

Check connections to the motor.

FT, no, I zip tied together as I disassembled, double and triple checked. From what I've learned that charger goes to 12 A when it cycles on so it will trip the 10. I'm going up to a 15A breaker, which shouldn't be too risky. The feed wires look very heavy and distance is relatively short...

Dennis thanks. Yes, Charles has about the worst website one can imagine. Not hard to imagine why they are gone. I've been trying to see what breaker it calls for. I guess the batteries are set up to be isolated from the engine on purpose. But I'm thinking in terms of jumping power over to...

The PO of my boat installed a Charles 50 amp battery charger, this seems very large to me. When the charger powers up it trips the 10amp breaker on the panel very quickly. The needle on the charger is "pegged" when you fist turn it on, but generally drops lower as part of its normal cycle. I...

Swift Cloud, I just repowered with F225's. What props are you running ?

You can tell a WHOLE lot by dropping the lower units and looking up with a flashlight

It could be a thermostat. Stuck open you could have fuel mix blowing by the rings. that may also explain why its only happening on 1/2 of the motor. Also I wonder if it may be stuck in "warm-up" mode. Perhaps a bad temp sensor?

I just bought one last August, a 98. I'm in New England. I do not have a generator and prefer it that way. We do however plug-in at the dock and have ac for sleeping which is very nice. a 2000 watt Honda would be perfect on a mooring. If you are a fisherman and are buying a boat from a non...

I have no affiliation with this group but they have everything I was looking for ! Especially the zipper extenders. and replacement snaps. https://store.canvas-boat-cover-and-repair-advisor.com/category-s/1837.htm

I like to seal the layup with epoxy or polyester resin and then bed the ducer with 5200. if that transducer dies down the road heat it up and the 5200 will come loose.

The water heater is drawing power but not warming water. something fishy going on ...

on my 98 Marlin I can get right into the bilge and access most everything once the batteries and bait well are out... does the 93 have the back seat ?
