    Adventure 208 - Adding fishing rod grommets in cabin

    On my 208, I had the same need so that I could store rods while the boat is docked at the marina. My solution may not be the most elegant, but it has worked out and is easy to use. Behind your pillow in the photo is a removable panel that goes into the area where the anchor is stored. I...

    2017 Marlin?

    I agree that the Bow Thruster is the better of the two for the primary reason mentioned - - control. I personally like the combination of the two for docking and the Fishpoint feature is really nice for rock fishing on the California coast. It's similar to Staypoint, but uses minimal thrust to...

    2017 Marlin?

    A few comments as a very new Marlin owner and a novice boater in general - - with both the full helm master system (including joystick) and a bow thruster. I've been successful docking without material challenges on windy days in relatively tight quarters using the helm master to move the back...

    Overall length of Marlin

    At least for me, it had to do with what the marina allows. They would not allow me to take a 35' and stick out the two extra feet. This was the case in 3 marina's that I checked out, so perhaps a regional (SF Bay Area) way of handling it. With that said, very few boats in my marina stick out...

    Overall length of Marlin

    I just went through all of this for my slip - - 37'3" with the pulpit and engines up (300's). Grady White spec sheet shows an LOA of 402" with the pulpit and to add 29" for engines (again, 300's) down. They do no provide a measurement for engines up out of the water, but mine measured out at the...

    GPS / Fishfinder for Adventure 208

    Look carefully at the installation dimensions on the various garmin units - - they tend to be smaller than you would think compared to the diagonal screen size measurement that they use to describe each unit. I suspect the box may have changed sizes over the years, but I was able to fit a...

    Marlin 300 transducer

    The primary issue with the flats as provided is that they are too small for almost all of the transducers. We decided on the Garmin GT51M - - 600W chirp transducer. I appreciate all the suggestions as they helped point us in the right direction.

    Marlin 300 transducer

    Trying to decide on what transducer to use on a 2021 Marlin 300. The hull has flats for the transducer, but it doesn't look as though there are any that fit in the space provided. Any input on what transducers anyone has installed on a Marlin 300 and where you placed them in the hull would be...
