Hi All Just wondering what you guys use to reseal your deck hatches after your yearly tank inspections? I’m wondering if a strip of rubber might be a better idea than Sikaflex

I generally run with both seacocks open on my Marlin I don’t see how it can can use an issue Am I missing something? :hmm

My fridge is fine but it would like to have it looked at, gee it’s 19yrs What are you looking at doing? Modern fridges are so light, have better insulation and use a lot less power

I don’t use the stove, I have a small lpg canister bbq on board. I Cook outside most of the time to keep the smell out of the cabin, it’s the same size as the original stove so it sits there nicely on top of the cutting board....canister come in packs of three for a couple of bucks. Works a...

Good pickup Halfhitch :D I like that theory

This post got me curious so I checked mine. The gauze was fine but the brass elbow screwed into the top of the holding tank was totally blocked. It’s a good 1/4” hole and it was chocked..... I wondered why I could hear a whistle when pumping it out, whistled because of suction ... Works a treat...

Well done Gee I wish there was a “like” button similar to Facebook....

Try squirting with a hoze, it’s probably a spider or something benign

How do you know it’s getting blocked? What is blocking it ?

I use a reef anchor, prongs are designed to bend free when stuck in reef. Also have spare anchor, chain and rope on board..

I had a similar situation, OX66, luckily one engine only though like you. Turned out to be the high pressure fuel pump inside the vsr, engine was fine at idle to 3000 then had no guts, then would not start after a few amattempys to clear it. To check turn ignition on with an ear against the...

Good job, nice and neat I got one made for my Marlin but the template was not perfect...though in reality it is fine I am a tad disappointed as it does not fit the profile perfectly like yours

Clocking a few hundred hours on her now I have never questioned the hull in a heavy sea... It’s a calm sea she plays up ...

Toothpick I have twins, trim tabs fix the issue for me every time I don’t think I should have to use them though..... Reading the forum I think it’s a combination of torque and too much bow in the water ...

Doc My Port engine is the dominant engine as far as thrust goes, especially going aft...even though it is counter-rotational Maybe this is why.... Makes sense

That’s odd, my Marlin lists to Port on the plane as well. I have removed a heap of weight from the port side as I have no need for the stuff ( microwave, water heater and inverter/chaarger ) funny because I didn’t notice the listing until it was all gone :hmm Yes some have pointed out that...

Ok got my new shiny bling on the engines 4 blade 15.25” x 17 Powertech Ken at propgods didn’t really comment on my choice, he didn’t provide alternatives so I’m guessing it’s what he would have chosen himself Engines sound free’er and gruntier, she pops up on plane a lot quicker Turns...

I’m surprised you want extra weight in the bow... The way she sits is dependent on the way she is trimmed... I have a large drum winch on the bow, 12” diameter 100m rope and 10m chain...i have 3 large batteries mounted in front of the holding tank. They run the winch and bowthruster. If you...

Ok so you cut the deck, replace the hose....then what... Seal it up for another 20years probably

Would love to know myself ......for sometime in the future I will need to know I am sure.....I don’t see how they can be accessed, the stdb is even worse as the through-hull has zero access.
