New '88 Mariner 3297 Owner

Postby KipW » May 30th, 2024, 9:26 am

Hi All!

Been snooping around the forums for while now learning the tricks of this boat, it's new to us later last summer. We upgraded from a 25' regal ambassador, absolutely loving the significantly larger size as well as ability to access nearly everything for maintenance (though the v-drives are going to be a pain to change the fluid).

I've already done a number of upgrades including replacing the outside teak ladders with plasteak. I like tinkering with electronics so also done a number of DC electrical upgrades including running a lightweight server on the boat to keep an eye on things such as battery voltage and fuel usage as well as having a local plex server.
Cheers,
Kip
