    Trolling motor install on 282 Sailfish

    I mounted a Rhodan, 36 V on a 283 release. Although a center consul as opposed to a cabin it worked extremely well.

    WiFi display?

    I have a Garmin 8612 MFD at the helm of my 2000 Marlin. I believe this unit is Wi-Fi capable, has anyone used a Wi-Fi capable screen to see the sonar down closer to the fishing area on the boat? Is there a less expensive alternative to a separate networked unit?

    Barrier coat?

    I have an unpainted 2000 Marlin that will finally get bottom paint. How important is it to apply a barrier coat like Interlux prior to bottom paint?

    Thru hull fittings value?

    I am replacing all the thru hull fitting last on my 2000 Marlin after having the gel coat redone. Do the old fittings have any value or should I just toss them?

    283 vs 306 canyon

    I have a 283. It is a solid rocket. Great boat. I also just bought a 2000 Marlin with the intent of flipping the motors to my 283. I am now seriously considering keeping the Marlin for all the reasons stated above. I run the 283 to the Wilmington on occasion but it cuts the 1/3 rule close...

    Windlass

    Seasick thanks but maybe I wasn’t clear the picture in the manual for the 761 Gypsy does not show a Fleming in place does that particular gypsy not use one?
