    Delamination port side - down to bottom paint

    I ended up w a Grady Wet. Did major stringer repair, etc... only later to find the coring to be soaked and rotten. Ended up redoing most of the port side and will probably have to do a spot on the starboard. Problem lies in the hull to deck joint and extremely poor workmanship. Absolutely...

    Best or worst 36 Volt batteries for a Garmin Kraken 90 inch trolling motor

    I have Dakotas in both my boats. 400amp hrs house in my Marlin and a 100 amp for the trolling motor in my skiff. So far they're great.

    94 Sailfish fresh water tank - how long do they last?

    My 95 Marlin has the original tank. Cleaned it thoroughly (wasn't bad to start w) and reinstalled with new hoses. I make sure to drain and fill consistently. We use it for washing cooking and some drinking. Haven't had any issues yet. I also fill it w an RV filter. Little bit of "tank" taste but...

    1997 vintage 16-903 panel switch needed - where to find?

    I'll have to double check what brand I installed. BEP maybe? My panel was that duratrim crap (fiberboard). Ultimately I'm going to do the same. 95 Marlin, redone almost the whole boat. That's one of the last things.

    1997 vintage 16-903 panel switch needed - where to find?

    I replaced one of mine w an off the shelf switch from west marine. I believe it was std carling style rocker. Went right in.

    2024 Marlin Trim Tabs

    The pre 98' hulls had them in a pocket forward of the transom at the front of the step. Every other later model I've seen has been as described above.

    Questions about Deck Drains

    I did the ones on my 95 Marlin while I was doing a couple refit and paint. I had the bilge completely empty. Port side was easy good access. Starboard was difficult at best. Later on I had to cut an 8" hole in the euro (inside) in order to reconnect/bed the grab rail. That would have made it...

    How much 1/2" anchor line fits in the Grady-White marlin 300 anchor box?

    I haven't had any issues with it feeding but I did go w a horizontal so it didn't need as much drop. So far, so good. I'm in NE FL as well fishing the same depths

    How much 1/2" anchor line fits in the Grady-White marlin 300 anchor box?

    I have 600' of 1/2" 8 plait w 30' of chain and a Maxwell windlass on my 95 Marlin. It's pretty full and so far works well. 22# Rochna. Looks like it could fit a little more but not much. I agree way too small of an anchor locker.
