it could be that the switch is bad. they do have a life span.

there should be a breaker close to the power inlet. make sure it didn't trip off. ron

i do use dawn to dump in the bilge and for particular areas (fish box etc.). it is biodegradable and excellent at grease cutting. if i just hose down the boat, i use WM heavy duty boat soap in a soap nozzle; let it sit then rinse off. knocks the salt away very well, especially in all the...

not exactly sure what you mean. you'll get bowrise in almost any (planing) boat until you get on plane. are you saying you have bowrise after being on plane? you probably will get a little more rise at start since the 4s are heavier than the 2s. for me, once i'm on plane i use tabs to level...

basically, if you don't have what they have or do what they do; your boat's a piece of junk and you don't know what you're talking about. and then, when enough people keep saying the same thing ("i heard that..."); it becomes the truth. :mrgreen: i stopped posting on that board a while...

you should be able to see the mfg stamped on the cylinder. either contact them directly and ask for parts reseller, or check out Imtra to see if they carry the brand. good luck, ron

there was a redesign of the hull in (i think) either '01 or (definitely) '02. my live well pump was beneath the transom seat in the same area as the bilge pump. my fresh water pump was attached the the inside of the transom by where the batteries are. macerator under the pie plate in the...

my 2002 had the pump and the Y valve under the step in the cabin. flip up the step to get access to the locker and open the pie plate inside. good luck, ron

are you positive it is the engine and not an auto-retract on the trim tabs?

welcome aboard. as always, get a thorough survey. the new 4 strokes are much lighter than the old. i know someone who repowered an '01 marlin w/ f250's and so far all results have been positive. good luck, ron

forget distance. unless you're looking for mountainous coasts, you're good for about 6 or so miles. that said, the 24 has a beamwidth of 3.6 degrees and the 18 is 5.0. narrower beamwidth is increased target distinction. considering your total package, the extra $ are worth it. good luck, ron

can't help with the 360, but i put a set of 4 blades on my 330 last year (f350's). the top end lowered a few mphs. i don't do "hole shots" but the low end torque significantly increased. it will hold plane at lower rpms. most importantly for me, they bite like a pit bull :mrgreen: . very...

i spray T-9 on just about everything i can. it leaves a yellowish waxy coating that really protects. on hardtop piping i use a thin wiped on coat that doesn't stand out as much. silicone grease is kinda clear. i use that on o-rings and the like. ron

paint; just like anything else.

Night & day in close quarters. You'll love it. Good luck, Ron

rather than go the ebay route, you might want to get in touch with jim at boe marine. he seems to be a stand up guy and one that would try to help out. maybe he can hook you up with a reman or locate one being swapped out for a newer system. seems like a guy that would do that. in any...

i think you need to speak with your electronics guy. if you bought in 2008 and they discontinued the companion dome in 2009, he should have known that that was in the works. i do understand from the mfg point that at a certain point in time, things just aren't backward compatible (when was the...

i'm not sure when the seaV2 hull was done for the Marlin. you might want to look into that. a marina friend just re-powered his marlin (early 2000's, not sure the exact year) with the new 4.2 f 250's. loving the chit out of it. so if the hull is sound and worth the purchase price, run the...

congrats. hope that the summer is as mild as this winter has been. good luck, ron

drift. :mrgreen: i actually bought an oil hedge a few years back after this bs started the first time (in recent history). i don't actually do anything with it, but when oil goes up so does the hedge; so i get mental assurance that it's not really costing me more money to fill the tank...
