Ian, I have a circa 1990 585 which has a 60 litre tank only, so possible you may have that also.

P.S. get about 1.2l per mile from a 135hp Mariner, on average.

Hi Al,

The wiring, I have to admit, is a bit hapharard. 20 year old boat and a few enthusiastic amateurs means it's all a bit bodged looking. The fuse was a 20A, and the spare, taped beside the...

Jizm, sorry - cannot say for certain. It has gone almost exclusively when out in waves, and I do subconsciously trim and throttle up down quite a lot. You can't hear the trim motor at high speeds,...

Hi team!

My Mariner 135 c.1988 has been playing up recently. It has started blowing the main fuse (starboard side of engine, 20A glass fuse) about once an hour. I think it tends to happen more...

You switch between record and playback modes with one button, just above the on/off switch, so pretty quick and easy :)

Thanks John, yep the transom's had a hard life with the grunt and 185kgs of the Mariner. I think a 90 will be a good compromise.
