    Transom Mount Transducer on 2000 Grady Marlin

    John, The bracket is mounted directly to the transom (starboard of the drain plug) and low. I ran the wire upward, and thru my engine bracket, zip tied to my starboard engine rigging tube then thru a watertight grommet in the vertical front wall of the splash well. Have G2 outboards, my...

    330 Express Repower Questions

    JJ2468, with all due respect, your statement sounds exactly like the Grady White salesmen that I spoke with at a local boat show just prior to my G2 purchase ! First off: The OP is very pleased with his 330. He is looking to re power. That being said as well as the cost of ( have you re...

    Transom Mount Transducer on 2000 Grady Marlin

    Same boat here. Simrad Evo 2 (' screens with one medium chirp thru hull td along with the same transom mount transducer that you speak of. The transom mount ducer works well at low speeds of side scan. Useless a cruise. Mine is mounted between the engines right of the drain plug. It is the...

    330 Express Repower Questions

    We all know the E-Tec G2's are a different animal with no discussion on this forum ( except for me ) BUT.................. But it is my opinion as a previous Yamaha owner and now a twin G2 250 owner................ I will never look back! Outstanding torque, Up on plane quickly, integrated...

    1998 272 Sailfish seems tippy.

    Having owned the same boat I would say that the combination of 20 degree dead rise, cabin top weight above the center of gravity and a 9'-6" beam does not lend itself well to a tower configuration. Now on the other, A center console boat such as a 32' Andros with near the same dead rise will...

    2002 Grady White Marlin Head System

    Same on the Marlin.......... The only seacock that should be open is the raw water intake ( yes, it should be flushing with seawater) . The other seacock should be CLOSED unless you are far enough offshore to legally discharge the macerated holding tank waste. Is the raw water intake (...

    Sailfish 282 Electronics Upgrade

    The flat area formed into the Grady hull is NOT a correct installation location for Transducers with a fairing ( Ask Airmar). I use a b175M 20 degree xducer with twin 9" Evo2 units and a transom mounted side scan. I you do choose a xducer with a fairing block or any other thru hull, it...

    Can you plane GW sailfish 282 or marlin on one F225hp engine

    Re: Can you plane GW sailfish 282 or marlin on one F225hp en My first Grady was a 98 272 Sailfish with twin 225 OX 66 Injected motors. It WOULD plane on a single engine running off the reserve tank BUT as other have mentioned this is not wise. It is better to limp home off plane at a lower...

    Clamp On Center Rigger?

    I use the Taco Grand Slam GS170 Center rigger base which I thru-bolted thru the hardtop. http://tacomarine.com/product/GS-170/Gr ... -Top-Mount It is a much more secure installation for the rigger pole and there is no stress on the rocket launcher to hardtop mounting points. We run a double...

    Marlin motor height

    Yes, confirmed that my new motors are set in the same position ( cavitation plate in line with running surface) as my 2 stroke Yamahas We are running Evinrude Rx4 15x18 4-blade props. Props combined with the high torque of the G2's put the Marlin 300 on plane quickly and allow a top speed of...

    Marlin motor height

    I run 4 bladed props on my 250 G2's ( the props were designed specifically for the Evinrude G2) and yes they are recommended for the increased bite........and they do. I'll measure the distance from the cavitation plate to the keel tomorrow. You are currently running Yamaha OX 66 Saltwater...

    Time to upgrade

    I second the 282 option. Having owned a 272 Sailfish prior to our current Marlin 300 it sounds like your distances traveled would make the 282 a enjoyable experience. I say this as long as you do not plan any long distance trips without refueling. Pursuit also builds a viable option to...
