I have twin 300 and love them. never once felt underpowered.

thanks, I am now on my third set of batteries in a six year old boat. I keep getting a response from the mechanics that this is "normal" in Florida. I already spent almost $1000 to have someone go over the entire electric system and they found no fault.

I have a 2012 Marlin, and I would like to use AGM batteries. Is there any problem with using these with the stock charger that comes with the Marlin ?

mine is a six person offshore commander in a suitcase style. I keep it in the aft berth. weighs 75 pounds. I figure if I really need it I will find the strength to get it out.

replaced it last weekend. piece of cake. it was nice to have a part just unscrew, take off the hose clamps and replace. no modifications or cursing that it doesn't fit.

Thanks

2012 Marlin 300, the pump for the live well needs to be replaced. I cant see a make or model number. anyone know the replacement . thanks Leonard

DECO boat lifts are great. I have one. they are made here in Florida but you will need a local dealer/installer

There really is nothing wrong with using the piling to ease around a turn. Just make sure you don't ram it, but gently touch it and pivot. That is why you have a rub rail. if you don't smack it hard you are fine.

not being mechanically inclined I hired a pro to put in a second AC. He is going to put a smaller Marine Air in the helm seat and vent it with two outputs on the dash. he will use the intake to the salt water washdown , which I rarely use. I will post photos when he is done. he starts work in...

according to GW the part is no longer made. so I need to figure out how to replace it.

Beckson does not list an 8 inch twist out on their website

I have a Marlin 300 and need a part. It is the twist off deck plate that is used to access the pull rods for the seacocks. It is OD 8 inch, ID 7 inch. I have looked and looked but can not find an exact match. Nothing is imprinted on the plastic itself Thanks

on the cockpit A/C, did you use the original ac in the cabin and divert it to the cockpit? did you install a new unit? I would appreciate any photos or drawing etc that you might have. I would love to have AC in the cockpit. thanks

I have a 2012 Marlin and I run with both tanks open. My generator has it's own separate diesel tank . I have never had a problem and this way I when I do fill up I get fresh fuel in each tank. Keep in mind that when I do go off shore off of Tampa Bay, I go out 65 miles and back so I use a lot...

you might want to post on The Hull Truth website, There is a Bennett rep who is over there and he is very helpful.

Two years is not that unusual for the life of a battery. Yes I know they should last longer. All it takes is one bad cell and it can cause you problems. I have had similar issues and it always came down to a bad battery. It may be a pain but take them out, take them to autozone or equivalent...

My only thought is a loose or corroded ground wire. Since it started up for a minute, if it was loose, it may have vibrated off it's connection.

not sure what you are asking, but I have one on my 30 Marlin and love it. even with twin engines, the wind really takes the bow around like it had a sail. the bow thruster is worth every penny. At least for me.

if the performance question was to me, I get about 1.3 MPG at 4100 , full fuel, usually 6 people and gear on board. I go 60 miles off shore here on the west coast of Florida so can be an expensive weekend.
