Her's the follow up: I tried all sorts of cleaners to no avail. What worked was Starbrite Premium Restorer Wax. Now the hull needs a good buffing :)

i had my Marlin in the water overnight as we were leaving to go offshore before our Marina opened. Apparently one of the cruise ships or another ship leaked diesel fuel into the inlet. When we got back from the fishing trip, we had a one inch ring around the hull. I was pretty unhappy as you can...

First let me say it is very doable in a Marlin. My wife and I did it in our Marlin. We started out from Panama City Beach, ran to Apalachicola, spent the night there (we had a late start from PCB, another story). We intended to run from there to Clearwater Beach, but the weather/winds did not...

Ahhhh....."foot-itus"! I would do it. It would be a "merry Christmas to me" purchase!

I don't think so. I have had 1000 hour twice, tech's never said anything about break in needed.

great video!

I went with a SURVITEC 6 man offshore Rescue Case, I went with the valise version. I have gone 120-132 miles offshore, but normally only 65-75. I have all the safety toys, EPIRB, etc.

How often do you guys check your lower unit oil? I had to put a new lower unit on my Marlin yesterday. We lost the port engine lower unit last week on the return from our 1 day snapper season. When we checked it, it was completely dry. We had changed it in March, only had 90 hours on it.

So I bit the bullet and ordered the new Evolution Helm chair from Pompanette for my 2007 Marlin. The base of the old one cracked and it will not tighten so it spins. I could not see a way to repair it. I had already repaired the plastic under the cushions a couple times. Actually fixed both helm...

Thanks for the info and pictures jcsurf!

What radar do you guys recommend for finding birds ? My two nephews are struggling with an old Simrad that is of no use.

My starboard F-250 did the same thing, there are three cam position sensors on the back of the engine. I replaced all three and no problems since.

I hung a dead seagull from the outrigger, that worked until my wife saw it.

I have Allstate. I bundled boat with the cars, been pretty happy with them so far.....knock on wood!

Ok, thanks. I will give them a try, but my experience with SEI is not good. When the coating stared to peel off I sent the unit back two them under the warranty, at great cost to me, and they did nothing and sent it back to me, without any repair to the paint.

Thanks for your recomendations!

Neither, the coating is a thick almost plastic and thick and hard.

A couple years ago we trashed my starboard engine lower unit, we hit something, anyway I bought a lower unit from SEI over in Tampa. after a couple trips the coating started to peel off. I sanded and painted but it just kept peeling off. Finally took it off and now I am going lot stripe all...

Try vinegar.
