    Marlin Tank Really Full?

    I am confused with my new(er) Suzuki tank gauges. I thought I had about 70gal in my main tank and was filling up yesterday. At 10 gal pumped, it kept burping back at me like it was full. What gives? Could it really be full? PS - I would prefer not to pull the sender and do a manual/visual if...

    Pressurized Water and hot water System

    Never used either system too much, but am in a marina this year. Hot water works. Pressurized water (feeding the hot and cold system) hit a point today where it wouldnt stop pumping. Assume its out of water or has a decent leak somewhere (same thing essentially). Any thoughts before I crawl...

    Refridge Down

    I haven't started troubleshooting it yet, but my 99 Marlin fridge seems to be down. I didn't use it last year (on mooring)...so questions: 1) is this a dc powered unit only (I only have dc breaker for it). 2) any troubleshooting/removal advice?...other than checking for power to the unit 3) if...

    How to Clean Hydraulic Steering Fluid from Fiberglass

    Of course while taking out the steering RAM I am replacing, I spilled fluid all over the engine well. Any advice for cleaning? My local mechanic says a strong commercial cleaner...simple green type....will do the job, but then again, his boat is a mess!

    Hatch Fix

    I have a chipped live well hatch cover. I've read a lot about patching/re-building hatch covers chips here in the forums...my head is spinning. Poly-fair, 3M epoxy with filler, fiberglass filler and resin, and many other recommendations. I have a history of screwing up Marine Tex and other...

    Rain or Leak on Marlin

    Wild storm at the mooring here in SE Ma. last night. 5-6 ft chop and rollers with downpour rain. Noticed several gallons (?) of water pumped out of the fwd bilge when I got out there today (fwd bilge float not working, operated the manual sw). Wondering if I have a thru-hull leak or the rain...

    SpotLight

    Anyone have experience with the ACR RCL-100. Mine doesn't work. I hear the servo rotating the light, but no illumination. I ordered a couple new halogen bulbs (big bucks), but not sure that's the issue. Can I stick a VOM in the sockets to see if there's juice? If not, there's some relatively...

    Mooring Bridal Pendant for Marlin

    Hi - 99Marlin is new to me and I am setting up my own mooring. The pendant (or is it bridle?) for both bow cleats rubs on the closest under- edge of the pulpit. It will definitely wear in storm conditions. Chaffing gear will need to reach almost to the eye splice since this area on the bridle...
