    New Marlin 30 Owner questions

    same water issue on my marlin. I have checked the thru hulls, and no leaks there. Ill try the taste test when I put the boat back in the water. (I aint skeered of a little salt water) My boat had old electronics and they worked fair, but last year we put Simrad NSS2 on her with the 4g radar...

    oil on transom when tilted up overnight on F225

    I too had a little oil in the splashwell of my Marlin. It was coming from the hydraulic steering hoses. Check those. Easy to replace.

    sea star fluid leak

    I had the same thing last year. I messed around with replacing seals, but it still leaked. I contacted Seastar, and they were pretty helpful. I ended up replacing the helm and, it was a pretty easy job. Best of luck

    Transducer fairing Marlin 300

    I just measured the transducer flat on my 98 marlin. It is about 5"x16". The problem is that it isn't just a flat spot, but it angles off at each end making the usable flat spot only about 4"x8-9" I have a b744 mounted there, and we couldn't use the faring supplied by Airmar. We had to cut a...

    Simrad ap 11 autopilot

    I have an old simrad ap11 on my Marlin. It no longer works. I get a message that says FAIL after turning it on. There is a guy selling a new ap24 head unit here locally, and I am wondering if anyone knows if that will work on my system?? Thanks

    Livewell on Marlin Transom

    I installed a deck mounted bait tank on my Marlin. We fish lots of live bait, so I needed the capacity. It works great. I used the existing thru hull to plumb it

    cabin floor in my 360

    Try Bona wood floor cleaner. If you want to coat it with something durable, use Bona Traffic HD. This stuff is made for wood floors, and is the best on the market. I used it on a teak sloe on a friends boat a couple years ago, and it looks new still. Go their website for video instructions.

    scuppers on a marlin

    I just got a 1998 marlin. I have some water coming in. It looks like it may be thru the scuppers which are at the waterline, or just below when standing in the stern. How can I change these out? My arms are not 4' long!!!

    Looking to purchase a Grady

    I looked at a1998 Marlin with 2013 Yamahas with the extended warrantee. Boat is in fair shape, engines run great. Question is that there is some water in the compartment under the mid berth. There is a drain hole there, but its not draining. My thought is a plugged drain pipe. Could it be...

    Looking to purchase a Grady

    Thanks for the feedback. I am told the boat I am interested needs a macerator. I can ask that it be repaired before I buy it, or the guy will lower the price. My question is are these expensive, and/or difficult to fix? I am pretty mechanically inclined, but I have not owned a boat with a head...

    Looking to purchase a Grady

    I have it narrowed to a couple of Marlins. One is a 98 with 2012 Yamaha 250's. I cant seem to find much in the way of guys having problems with these. Does anyone have any input on these engines? Also what can I expect for fuel burn? Thanks

    Looking to purchase a Grady

    I am looking to move up to a 30' Grady Marlin. I have looked at a few which all seem in good shape. Aside from the exhaust corrosion issues on the 225's, is there anything I need to be looking for as far as problems? Also about how many hours can I expect out of the 4 stroke 225's or 250's? Thanks
