New vs Old Windlass A new windlass will probably cost more than the original cost, likely be a bit smaller than the original, and possibly less noisy and prone to less chatter. New or old will likely yank your chain just fine, the new may perform a bit faster, but with proper lubrication...

The lower unit doesn't always come off easily either - depending how frozen or corroded the bolts get.

Bravo both on the job and the writeup

No, I'm not defending brokers - I think some are scum, some are incompetent and some are very good at matching a buyer with a boat. If he/she is a good salesperson, the potential buyer will be sized up properly and if serious the ride would be offered. Anytime is the right time to make a sale...

I think the 10% is customary when there is a broker because that ensures the broker gets his cut. I don't think it has anything to do with making sure you're a serious buyer - it's to cover the broker in case the seller reneges.

The generator should not be used when an outboard engine speed is greater than 2500 RPMs. When the generator is not in use the intake should be closed. At higher speeds excessive seawater may be forced into the generator cooling system causing water to back up into the exhaust manifold. The...

Isn't a 99 Marlin only rated for 500hp?

AGMs are NOT gel batteries. AGMs, (Absorbed Glass Mat) have the same charging requirements as a lead acid (wet cell) battery. Gel batteries are more sensitive to charging voltage ranges and this may be a problem for your charger. Yamaha does not recommend AGMs because they never tested them...

Long live the Marlin!! Every winter I go to countless boat shows and think about all the new boats and upgrades and improvements and think maybe its time for a change. Then, in early spring, I set foot on my Marlin for the first time in four or five months and remember all the reasons I...

I'll see if he'll respond with some insight and pics.

A buddy added a through bolted six rod spread to his transom on new 30 Express. Dealer did the work and is still cussing from what I heard. It can be done but what a PITA. He's on this board occasionally so maybe he'll chime in.

I've used a couple - all good but this is the one I recommend Capt John Lowe http://www.marinesurveyor.com/lowe/

Marlin head I had a similar situation that required a two part remedy. My pump would not run at all as it had some 'debris' clogging the macerator. After clearing that, I could run the pump but a breaker would appear to blow. Tried other pumps on the boat and the same thing occurred. Turns...

I have been chasing some gremlins and we think it is in the 40 amp push button breaker that is mounted to the battery switch panel (02 Marlin). I want to replace all four breakers but not sure what brand these are. I think they are Klixon Thermal CDMs. I will check with Grady this week but was...

A friend uses an old fiberglass diving board

I agree, and very out of character for a Grady.

1. Power - F225s, 900 hours 2. Fast Cruise Speed - 27knots 3. Fast Cruise Burn - 22 - 24 gph 4. Slow Cruise Speed (nightime, etc - Usually around 10kts.) - We don't do this speed, 5knots is more typical 5. Slow Cruise Burn 2gph 6. Do you have a tower or anything else that might skew these...
