I installed 2 of these, they are a great addition. GLWS

I'm removing the transducer so I can rebed it. Hanging my head in the forward bilge to get this tank out so I can reseal it. Damn, stuff is tough, even with bond breaker spray.

I'm going to pull the transducer tub and reseal it, pull the DFF1, both displays and take them all to Camas for a checkup. I'm lucky that I live close to Camas. The displays both have an internal battery that needs replacing at some point. May as well get it down now. I'll let you know what...

I got the boat launched today for the first time this spring. I was delighted that the auto pilot and steering worked great. However, the sounder was giving me fits. It gave incorrect readings from the start, 2.2' in charted 45'. My M260 transducer in a tub has done that when the RV pink...

I think our issues are fundamentally different. Your genset starts and runs, mine didn't want to start at all. I'd call Fischer Panda as I found them to be very helpful with direct and specific steps to take. Good luck. Sorry I don't have more to add.

Tuna behind bars smoking a cigar. On old boat of mine.

I'm not sure of your location but I could probably make some use of the parts. I'm near Portland, OR. I was having issues until I adjusted my valves. Easy to do and it also can mess with compression if out of spec.

She is doing great with a new tyranny and new steering box a year ago. Pulls the boat and our trailer fine.

I have a Golight wired remote spotlight on my Marlin. The connection plugs under the helm are suspect. I've tried to clean them everyday I can think. Now it is time for a solution to an off/on spotlight. When I want to see a dock at night, I don't need to squeeze a connector just right...

Looks good now. Enjoy.

Has anyone taken a helm apart for cleaning? This is my spare helm that I'll clean up and have on hand. I was surprised st how much junk and corrosion was inside. I'm putting a yearly hydraulic fluid on my list of to do items. I always topped off the fluid but had not thought about how much...

Talking of additional tie downs, by Angler Management, I had a bolt shear off on my hand winch on a steep ramp. The safety chain pulled through the welded ring like butter. The boat rocked back, and I was almost a Face Book post. We secured as best we could with chain and straps. We drove 5...

I drive and tow with an old Dodge and I'm looking to install a backup camera. Does anyone have a recent model they would recommend? Wireless seems easy. A system with a camera I can run from the boat stern would be useful for an oversize load but that is a fair distance to the cab (37' to...

I added UHMW plastic on my bunks. It makes the moving the Marlin easier when it settles back from the bow stop. I've also resorted to a quick stop to move her forward. I tried adding a longer stinger to back in deeper, it still settled back when on flat ground.

When I bought my Marlin in 2014 I asked GW about bonding, they wrote it was not necessary, but if I wanted it to contact a marine electrician. End of story.

I've been trying to think of a way to use stainless nutserts instead of the stainless screws on that hatch. Mine are loose. I've epoxied around the holes once already. You have to take up the hatch to do any bilge work. Interesting that you have a rubber strip down along the edge. Mine...

I also bought my 4 blade props from Ken. I'd take his word. No problem on mine over 3 seasons.

Got it. Had to make a drawing to understand. I had not bleed the AP lines enough. Got a catch basin and turned the wheel more. The return line fooled me into thinking the lines going aft were full. Time for a snip of 10 yr old. I'm beat. I only have so many up & downs into the boat, let...

I give up. I'm looking for a tech to fix this. It might be the pump itself. I've looked online for a service manual for the pump but Simrad must be closed fisted with those.

Thanks for the reply. I'm picturing myself in traction after bleeding it, one handed as I crawl on the floor.
