    Islander 268 Minn Kota Trolling Motor Install

    That's an interesting install, I went round and round about where to put my trolling motor a month ago, same motor you have. I finally worked out a location on the bow pulpuit and have tried it now 5 times and love it. Didn't remove the rail, it takes a slight technique to get it in and out of...

    30 Marlin AC power

    I have a 2002 marlin 300 and the Honda generator on the transom works well and powered the AC just fine. The exhaust is low to the water just like the on board generator. For extra protection have two CO2 detectors on board.

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    Sharkbait, this is great and I am leaning toward this potential problem because my oil/fuel seperator housing looks just like yours and I am pretty sure it has to be a small air leak somewhere between the fuel selector valve and motor. I was thinking of replacing the primer bulbs next and then...

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    Thank you glacierbaze, I changed the fuel filter on the port engine and it was clean as a whistle, I didn't see any water at all in the fuel bowl and the Starboard engine had the same issue once only so I am thinking it's a fuel delivery issue? Thank you georgemjr, where is the F filter?

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    Thanks Seasick and finest kind. I am suspecting an air leak between the selector and primer bulb as well. I noticed one time not long after i got the boat a couple months ago a little fuel around the fuel selector. This could be a small leak and possible air as well, it wasn't dripping or...

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    Thanks Seasick, I watched the fuel bowl as it was running. It was a little over half full but it moves up and down a little bit? Is that normal or would that possibly show an air leak. I have replaced the filter, the bowl seems tight and secure but would be hard to detect an airleak? No fuel...

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    Thank you for the ideas, i have not thought about a fuel tank vent line clog but wouldn't switching tanks eliminate most of these issues? The primer bulbs have been in place for a long time with zip ties, the one going to the port motor which has developed the problem is moving up in a vertical...

    Expert advice needed for a Fuel Delivery issue?

    HI Everyone, I purchased a 2002 300 Marlin in March this year. Great boat and has been a joy to operate. I recently had a problem with one of the engines (225hp four stroke) shutting off due to fuel starvation at idle to just above. It's wierd, only happened a couple times with 5-6 hours...
