Fisher could make you one for around $3500

I had a pair of Airmars installed prior to having the bottom blasted (high/low) both port and starboard. We left the existing one in the flat for the old unit which is a backup.

From what I can surmise from reading the different threads on this topic the 250's are adequate enough to get the job done albeit a little more thirsty. The 350's would be my choice if buying new, I like the extra power. The tenths of a mile per gallon are miniscule in the grand scheme of...

1.1/1.2 is about right with 250’s. I understand the F300’s are around 1.4 or 1.5

Sorry to here about that experience. Seems that high prices and unsatisfactory results has been a broken record in just about anything we do these days. One can only hope that when they cross that bridge (transom repair) things are cooled off a bit and we won’t have to “clench the cheeks” when...

Has anyone used a particular supplier with favorable results ? I see some advertisers who will make them, you just supply the dimensions. Thanks Pat

.... that’s some awesome numbers there. Much improvement over the 225’s or 250’s. What size props etc ?

...nice helm chair (Throne). When's the upgraded chairs coming for the 'serfs'. :)

Does Dwight tackle the infamous swollen transom ? Cut out replace and glass over ? Thanks, Pat

Kizuna, I can see from the picture a little bit of your piston is in contact with the water. Mine were a couple inches under so they need to be retracted to prevent corrosion which subsequently would ruin the seals when running them in and out. The previous owner had the lower units painted to...

... how does she perform with those 300’s. Cruise rpm, gph, mpg etc many thanks

Cavitation plate level is good. I’ve been told this is an inherent design issue with the Marlin and the Grady Cat in conjunction with the Yamaha’s. A dock neighbor of mine pointed this out to me. Kizuna stated that his DF Suzuki 300’s trim units are located up and out of the water

Nothing has changed other then when you put the stops down and then lower the tabs there is enough play to allow the motors to sit lower. The previous owner painted the lowers without consideration of retracting the pistons thus the need to re strike the line

.... thank you Kizuna !!

Jmain ... we hadn’t the opportunity to see how the 6,500 btu unit performs under the summer heat as we purchased the boat late last fall. Certainly (hopefully these days) I should have the unit back in the boat next week and I can give an update on performance under stress. Will keep you posted

That (Zukes) would be a serious consideration if repowering down the road. Has anyone repowered a Marlin with Suzuki motors and what was your experience ? Lowers and trim up and out of the water ? thanks Pat

I noticed that the trim pistons/rods on my Yamaha motors (30 Marlin) are underwater when the motors are up so I flip the engine supports and retract the pistons back into the cylinders to prevent corrosion from damaging the seals. However when I do that the lowers dip back a little deeper beyond...

I think the 24 Offshore was one of Grady's best creations

I have a 2007 Marlin. 6,500 BTU Mermaid unit that replaced the original unit just 2 years ago by the previous owner. I am experiencing an issue with the compressor as far as I can tell and have removed it to ship back to Mermaid in Florida. The unit has a 5 year warranty and the folks at Mermaid...

Looks great Fish !! Hopefully it was easier on the wallet going only 3”” instead of down deep. You ain’t missed much fishing action either with all the craptastic weather thus far. Thanks for the update and repair porn photos
