The answer to you actual question is Perko. There were a couple different models of that rod holde that grady used. GW parts can definitely tell you the model number for your boat. A backing plate certainly can’t hurt. It may need trimmimg depending on how much room you have around it.

Please see original post above and my response. Question referred to sitting at slip. The items i referred to are all extra equiptment intalled on port side. Batteries were installed in the center of that boat. Trim has very little (nothing) to do with a list at the dock. It is the three items...

My 2000 listed to port and drove me crazy. The main 3 culprits were 1) hot water tank (which holds 6 gallons = 48 pounds), 2)air conditioner/heat unit , and 3) 2x 2 stroke oil tanks that hold like 10 gallons of oil = 60 pounds. I tried storing as much as I could on the starboard side but never...

I ran Merc Rev 4 17 pitch props on my 2000 Marlin with twin 250s (which is for sale btw), and will be using those props on my new (to me) 2007 330 Express. Ken from Propgods recommended the 17s. I will be conducting a performance run with the stock props and then the Rev 4s to see exactly...

The pressure switch is adjutable. If it is turning your motor off and then back on again, it is doing its job. If you don’t have enough suction, you can adjust it. One other item to check is the vent hose. If that is clogged (which mine was from the tank being overfilled), then the system does...

Those fuel burns are very arbitrary. More accurately, you will get 1.0 miles (statute miles) to the gallon, possibly with light load and great conditions up to 1.2 (rare) and with a loaded boat and poor conditions .9 miles to the gallon. So if you cruise at 25 you will likely burn near 25, 30...

I use the stern loops by splicing in a clip into my line. No crisis crossing, works great. My spring line runs from front pole to dock with a loop near the stern for the stern cleat. Therefore, I can back in, and put spring loop on rear cleat which is easily accessible and hold boat in place...

Yamaha not only told me about it, they sent me a document explaining it. I don't think I have it anymore, as I gave a copy to the new buyer of my boat who was also concerned about this situation. I will look to see if I have a copy. Either way, I am not imagining this, and just because 1 Yamaha...

I spoke with Yamaha about this years ago when I ran into the same situation. They verified it is part of the design and sent me a document explaining this at that time. Hard for me to remember why, but I think it had to do with those cylinders not being used at idle or something. Either way...

There is an "F" fuel filter that is most likely your culprit. Easy to swap out and cheap. It is located behind your intake manifold on the port side of the engine. I had the same issue with my 2006 F250 as did Gman with his 2005. You will need to remove the intake manifold (very easy to do) swap...

1998sailfish, thanks for the info. I am jealous of those G2's. Sweet motors. Yes, I am running the OX66's. I am looking forward to the increased bite of the 4 blades and improved performance. I didn't understand the "too heavy of a cabin for 4 blades" comment either. Everything I have read about...

bump to the top, hoping there might be some more input with spring approaching. Thanks...

No one has motor height input on a Marlin?

Hi All, I am interested in any input you may have on your motor height and performance on the 30' Marlin. I have a (new to me)2000 30' Marlin with twin 250 2 strokes. I just picked up Mercury Rev 4 propellers and am debating my motor height for optimal performance. Currently I am in the...

I have tried it. Those lines feed a 30 gallon per hour burn rate from the Yamaha 250s they are connected to. I removed the line, attached a holley fuel pump with battery clips and fed all my friends fuel during super storm Sandy. 350 gallons worth.

I removed the entire access hatch. Then had to lay with my chest on top of the generator, head hanging over the back to barely get to the impeller (quite uncomfortable). The cover to the impeller is held on with 4 wing nuts. Hard to reach, very easy to drop (which I did). I have read that it...

Don't waste your time opening up the senders and using a copper tube. Just take the fuel line off right after the bulb, before it goes to the engine. That will drain the tank from the pick up. Whatever the pick up can't get out will be minimal enough that filling with fresh gas will do the...

The shower sump is usually on a breaker that requires youmto turn on. With it off, the water will overflow the small container meant to catch the grey water where the sump pump is located. It will overflow into your bilge. As long as too much water does not flow into your bilge, you will be...

I would recommend starting with what I previously posted, making sure the vent line is clear. It sounds like the pressure has no where to go as it tries to create the vacuum in the tank. If the holding tank is filled too high, debris can get in and clog the vent line. It is what happened to...

when I got my boat, the head was not working correctly, much like yours. I took it apart and found the duck bill valves were okay (I understand that the can sometimes be flipped inside out). The problem with mine wasmthat one of the orings that seal some of the plumbing had slipped out of its...
