… you know we could probably install the pedestal at the full 12” and see what sight line looks like then cut it down. Although 12” is most likely too high it never hurts to sneak up on the height that works for you. The other thing is you’ll have to cut the locking hole or slot to keep the...

I hadn't seen this thread and the pictures Fish ... Looks real good. How did you like that Llebroc ? I cut my fixed pedestal @ 9" for the portside chair and vis is great there (guys fight over who gets that seat). I need to put a fixed pedestal on the helm side this winter (get rid of the...

No Sweat !! A bow thruster should make you look like a pro !! Quick story though ... we were fueling up one afternoon at the dock when some guys came in with a brand new triple outboard Whaler with bow thruster. He was all over the place trying to lay it against the fuel dock (not a slip)...

Most experienced surveyors will use a combination of tools (moisture meter(s) ) and a phenolic hammer to verify any high moisture readings. Some transoms can be tricky to read. However if it is swolt, it's wet. Some can be wet, but not rotted .... yet.

Reality check is pulling in the station now. If financing is not one of your contingencies for buying you will be in the driver's seat, both new and used.

…. Take pic cha’s, pretty please !!

I saw where someone cut access in the deck just outside the tuna door and installed a plate ( that wouldn't be my first choice)

Good luck with your project. I know I'll be looking at going down this road someday too. Does anyone know if the Scientist at GW are going to change over to encapsulating this edge in glass or they still going with the plastic cap ??

I think when the time comes to do mine I will have it fully glassed over and documented with pictures ... then have the vinyl cap glued on so the next guy who buys it feels like everything is as factory specs should be ...(sarcasm)

Looks like you already completed your task. I have a 07’ Marlin purchased used. The boat was fully loaded however I’m not certain the transom rocket launcher/rod rack was factory. Upon re bedding screws and thru bolts everywhere I discovered the “Scientist” who mounted the transom rod rack used...

Bawhaha… hey Dan hope all is well. I missed my opportunity at a really really nice Duffy this past week.

Yamahas ... is that 240 total hours or is it since last ecm/flywheel change ? ... BTW nice boat

Good thread good advice !!

New coaming pad photos of my Marlin

Ahhhh ... the good ole' days. There were still Drive in theaters back then. Sneaked in the trunk of the car many times in the 70's

... No damage. Also as stated I purchased a brand new one, same outcome

Bermuda Triangle ....hahaha you read my mine Dan. Definitely a head scratcher. Compass(es) work fine until you place them in the mounting hole. I've looked all up in there to see if someone left or dropped a magnetized driver head or something, but have yet to see anything. Best I can tell is...

Nice job ... Any concern over starving the air to the generator with that switch in place of the vent ?

.... as an update I had purchased a new compass (throwing spaghetti) thinking the old one was bad. It wasn't. Same reaction observed. My belief is the steering unit is the culprit. I had asked the local electronics guy if he had a Degaussing tool ... His response : What's that ? At that point I...

Something doesn't make sense about the story ... if the boat was pushed against the rocks which punched a hole in the hull and sank why didn't the occupants crawl up on those same rocks to safety ?
