    Hot Water Heater 265 Express

    Bob - When you drain your water tanks i would watch how much water actually comes out. I was having issues with mine not winterizing correctly and I found something (must be sediment ) is blocking the tank from emptying all the fresh water. The only way for me to get around it is to put 6...

    Transom Failure Incidents

    I know of one that was taking on water but I am not convinced it was transom rot issue. The person was a new boater and was noted for whacking boats, docks and pilings with the engine when exiting or arriving at the marina. My suspicion is it was user inflicted. The situation was corrected by...

    What ever happens do not let them repower until the bang cap is replaced - I did a stupid thing a few years back and repowered without the bang cap and now it is a 3,300 expense to remove engines and replace the cap/

    To repower or not...2004 282 with dual Yamaha F225"s

    I repowered couple of years ago with F250's 4.2L and the the price with install was 50K. My original quote was around 65K bc that included new electronic shifting gauges etc. They do have a mechanical 4.2L f250 that uses existing controls and gauges - great option for repower - the electronic...

    When u normally go out with one or 2 are you able to get to max out higher than 5200. The engine should be closer to 6K at max. Could be a prop size issue?

    Fresh water pump

    When you try the shower does the pump turn on or is there silence. If the pump cycles on it may be a clog in the in-line filter or a clog in the shower head. I am not familiar with how your system works but if it has an on/off switch at the faucet and the pump does not cycle on It is probable a...

The screw/bolt holes can be stripped easily of you do not get it right. Also do not remove the sender with a full...

    Sailfish vs marlin vs older sportfish?

    I have a Sailfish - we do a lot of overnight excursions 1-3 day, We sleep 2 in the forward berth and our daughter used to sleep in the aft berth with a golden retriever. I would say it is comfortable but very basic. Bigger is usually better but the budget generally helps you decide.

    Replacing a Marlin Vent Window

    The easiest way is to use the opposite window as a template and go to a local glass shop. Most shops send the template to a supplier who does tempered glass. Mine too, think about a week, not cheap think it was $125. Some on this site have opted for plexi glass and cut it themselves from some...

    Early 2000's transoms

    I have an 04 Sailfish and was worried about my transom because of thedisintegrating bang cap. I had the bang cap replaced last year and the dealer said it was solid and no signs of rot or moisture. They sealed it with glass and installed a vinyl bang cap over it. The key is to ensure the bang...

    Replacement Refrigerator

    I replaced mine with the Isotherm. It is an improved model over the original and it is now AC/DC. The unit sensors identify when it is on AC or DC and autoamatically switches itself. It did take a little retro work bc I had to add an AC outlet in back of the frig. Wasn't that difficult bc there...
