    Question re using a Honda EU 2000 generator..

    I tried the EU200i generator on my Marlin for the first time this past weekend and my electric panel read between 68 and 72 volts. Got out my volt meter and at the generator it read 127.5 v's ... plugged in a 25' 12ga extension cord and got same reading(127.5) at output end of cord, added the...

    Mildew

    A lot of boats will leak some where around a cabin if old enough or pounded enough. Personally... I'd listen to the surveyor and NOT the seller... and walk away... unless you want to buy a project boat and have the cash to do the retsore. If's that's the case then the seller should be offering...

    V-Berth Question for 330 Owners

    Thanks George... the owner of the one we looked at is taking the memory foam & bedding out of the boat this week leaving just the factory cushions... so we plan to go back next week and do just as you suggested. She does sit up pretty straight... not sure if it is 90* though. The way she sits is...

    V-Berth Question for 330 Owners

    Thanks for the info... and that was my concern. Guess I'll have some selling to do because my wife really likes reading in bed sitting up.

    V-Berth Question for 330 Owners

    Thanks George... that's helpfull. Can you actually sit straight up with your back against the starboard side or are you always partially laying down?? The former is what my wife is looking for.

    auto login not working what's up?

    I agree.. would be nice to have an update. Best clue I've seen so far is from Toolguy... windows xp works and looks like rest of windows versions doesn't. So what's different about xp vs Windows 7 & Vista?

    V-Berth Question for 330 Owners

    Well, I had my admiral convinced that the 330 was the right boat for us, all things considered, and that the vberth on the 330 was much larger than the one on the Marlin and that most of her problems on getting in & out of the berth would be eliminated. We went to the NY boat show hoping to be...

    Advice Needed: 330 Battery Set-Up

    If you do a search on this topic you should bring up a number of threads. Some guys even posted their wiring diagrams after rewiring a house bank. The 330 isn't unique... all of the 4 battery Grady's are wired the same way and most owners have complained about not having a dedicated house bank...

    New England Boat Show

    If you could get your hands on a pic I'd love to see it. Also agree about the Whaler... it really surprised me at the NY show. My only concern was the price tag... seemed "under priced" (if there is such a thing these days) for a Whaler when comparing against other competitors in same loa range...

    Cracked Hull - 28 Release

    I agree with Fishtales... I'm 100% positive Grady cores the 330 with balsa. Not sure about other models like the 360. I just talked with Grady on this last week. But that conversation was about the 2003-2004's. I doubt they changed that practice because their listed weight on the 33 is still the...

    Marlin helm A/C-Heat

    If it's in the return that's part of the problem... I'm going to look for it this season and see if I can relocate it to a higher point.

    Marlin helm A/C-Heat

    Nice job Bob... let us know how it works out this summer!! By the way... do you know where they located your thermostat sensor? When I bought my boat I can remember they were still playing with locations. I have a feeling mine is low in the cabin and I haven't searched for it yet... my unit...

    Freshwater System Problem - '97 248 Voyager

    To me it sounds like you may have two different problems: 1) if the pump runs all the time then you probably have a bad pump or you have a leak in your line somewhere... doesn't have to me much... just enough to drop pressure so the pump keeps running. One of the mostly likely spots of trouble...

    new looking 33 @ AC boat show

    I agree!! Plus the NY Boat Show was terrible in general. many builders had only one or two boats there. Grady was squeezed into 1/2 the space they usually have and other than the 360 with the enclosed hardtop the rest of the boats they brought were primarily CC and dual console. I went there...

    Grady 33 Express Questions

    Bob... that surprises the heck out of me about NY not hitting you for sales tax. Ct is 6% so a little less than NY. When I bought my 282 I registered it in Ct but asked NY DMV "Being I paid CT sales tax if I ever moved the boat to NY would they hit me for additional sales tax if I wanted a NY...

    marlin 280 vs. marlin 300

    I agree with the posts above... 10-11yrs difference in age is a major swinger... not that anything is wrong with the 1990 but I have a friend with a 1989 Marlin(first year made) and I have watched him do a LOT of work on it in the past 5 or 6 yrs... like replacing his cockpit deck, reseating his...

    Grady 33 Express Questions

    Thanks again Bob... I'm also following boattraderonline as well as yachtworld and boats.com. Plus I check all the dealers in the northeast,eastern great lakes and mid-Atlantic. I've thought about the Fla/Ga boats but most of those have been in salt 12mos a year... maybe that doesn't make a...
