Sorry Mike, no help here. I saw you also posted already to the main group - good call. Good luck.Sorry to hijack this thread, but do any of you know a Marlow 31 owner? We’re very close to closing on a beautiful, like-new, 2018 31’ and I haven’t had any success finding other M-31 owners to get information/advice from. After reading this thread, I'm wondering to what extent some of the same issues might pertain to the 31s. It has a 3YM30AE with the SD25 saildrive. I have checked the fixed port windows for leaks, crazing/cracks around the winches--no evidence of any problems there. The saildrive checked out OK with the surveyor.
If anyone knows an M-31 owner, could you give them my contact information? I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Matt
