I would not expect a green wire as the 'ground' so either is was replaced or that green wire is part of the ground bonding wiring if there is bonding. If it is bonding then the bonding is not connected to battery ground. Try the separate ground and if that works, that's good but you will need...

Not sure I understand what the Float Switch does. Is it just a selector of either motor aux charge feed?

t may be a Sandvik fixture especially if you are referring to a fresh water washdown. Try this link to see if you can match your setup https://scandvik.com/index.cfm?method=products_Category&catID=18

As a quick test, run a wire from the ground tab on a tank to a battery negative post. ( you need a good ground). Turn on the ignition and try both positions of the sender select dash switch (maybe marked, MAIN and AUX. As Skuntboat stated, wait a bout 30 seconds on each setting to see if you...

I agree about the weight estimate. The OP states that the weight WITH trailer is 4,000 pounds. Trailer is probably 1000+ pounds. That doesn't leave a lot for hull and motors. Assuming the trailer and vehicle are up to snuff, the prep of the trailer is critical and depending on the condition of...

Remove the rub rail as mentioned but before separating anything, take a look at the seam to see if was caulked. It may have been glued but it may not have been, Remove the caulking as best as you can but don't separate the cap lip yet. Now for the hard part; You need to determine if the deck is...

I assume you are referring to refills for the blades and were not replying to the question of where to get the springs for the arms.

Messaging in all capital letters is perceived as shouting on the forums:) I don't know what specific details you want to know but a simple answer is that it is a lot easier to remove a genset than to add one.

Compared to your previous boat, the 330 is a different beast. I feel that if fuel economy is the show stopper, you are not seeing the trees from the forest. For example, if you sailed 170 miles last year and will use the 330 about the same hours, even if your fuel efficiency is half of the 25...

My experience is that you will have to buy a new arm. I haven't found just the springs

I took a look at that Marlin at my club. It is a 2002 with F225s. With both tanks full, the top of the trim cylinders are just about at the water line with one person on the deck. With less gas, the rods would not be under water but could easily get splashed at the dock by wakes. If the person...

There is at least one Marlin, maybe two at my club. I will try to take a look at how the boat sits in the water.

I think I understand. The motor doesn't sit lower since the weight is the same but the lower unit is at a different angle because the motor drops a bit to sit on the stop. My question had to do with the fact that the trim cylinders were completely submerged. That suggests that the hull got...

Thanks, that's a find!

What has changed? If nothing but the water line has risen, you may have an issue with added weight. That can be gear or to some extent paint buildup but it could also be water intrusion.

It may be easier to pull from one direction as opposed to the other. My fuel lines are tie wrapped to the hull about halfway along the run. I can get to that with difficulty through a nearby access plate. The connecting ends will have to be cut ( sliced perhaps) to remove the hose, it will not...

I really don't know which option is better other than my preference that the motor is out of the water. I have not used the tilt stop on my 2s 150 for as long as I can remember with no apparent issues BUT there can be concerns about the trim rods being exposed. That said, the tilt rod will be...

where are you getting the 12v for the downriggers?

I understand your position but tell me, if you needed a Grady dealer in the future and you had choices, would you choose this one? In nay case, good luck going forward.

Yup, truck blades assuming the arms were not replaced. Remember that you want and need stainless arms in addition to stainless blades. Way back I couldn't find blades until I went to a truck repair shop. Nowadays as noted, you can find them on Amazon. You need to confirm the blade to arm...
