That's where I would mount them. I have the 305 Express and I have four downriggers mounted. For my two rear mounts I have them behind the aft rod holders and the two front one's are in front of the forward rod mounts. The wood/glass there is over an inch thick but I would still use a backing...

Ditto what Mike said above about using the trim tabs as the main trim for your boat. I have the 305 Express and I put my tabs down at least half way before I put the peddle to the motors. If I'm really loaded down for an extended trip then I will put them down 80% or more to start. I put the...

I live here in Washington same as you. On my second Grady and I've always towed with the front, side and back vinyl in place. Never had a problem with them and it keeps the helm area a whole lot cleaner. Plus it's a pain in the rear to put that stuff up and down all the time. And when I tow...

I had a Marlin and now have a 305 Express. They both get water in the forward bilge area at times. The first time I seen it in my Marlin I got concerned I had water hose leaks. Never found any leaks and never heard the water pump cycling which would indicate a leak. In my opinion the water...

Ditto the 350 will certainly have the HP for the job. It will certainly pull the Marlin just fine. The dually's are just a much more stable platform.

I would recommend a triple axle trailer with a 15,000 lb carry capacity. I have used this type of trailer for 5 years towing a Marlin for three of those and a 305 Express for the last two. Have had zero bearing problems or nothing for that matter. I have a Shoreland'r and it's a large...

Hey Charlie, see you got her delivered. Bet you're excited. To reset you push the mode button for 4 seconds, then press set to switch to the resetting display, then press set and mode together for a second and maintenance is reset.

Ditto mine does it all the time. Completely normal. Congrats on your new boat.

Marc is a top rate guy. He's always been very responsive and helpful to me for years with my steering questions. Seastar is lucky to have him.

I have a used system posted for sale. It's listed under the for sale section here. If interested contact me.

I've never ran mine that light. But I do know that with a full load of fuel, 3-4 guys and all our gear for a weekender that I will usually draw about 3 to 4 more inches of water.

I agree with your assessment completely. I was constantly having to break the seal to get access for one thing or another. Hell you can't do anything but close the thru hulls with that round access port they have on it. Good luck in finding a reasonable solution as it sure needs one. About...

Your guess is pretty good. My hull on the 305 at dead center two feet forward of transom was a little over 3/4" and solid glass.

This was one of my biggest gripes with my Marlin. I contacted Grady about it and was told there was no upgrade kit and they had no intentions at the time of making one or changing the Marlin access.This was in 2007 and I don't think anything has changed since then. I now have the 305 so this is...

Good idea. When I removed a couple of my bolsters to do some work on the boat, I had a heck of a time getting to the screws and getting them off. I will retrofit the next time they come off.

Hey you got yourself a great boat. I have the exact same year, model and horsepower. Bought mine new in July 07 and love the boat. Ever have any questions about it give me a shout. I rigged all the electronics, autopilot, inverter, additional house batteries, Webasto Heater and trolling motor on...

Ditto, at the widest point.

You need to clean out your Pitot hole on the motor. On the front of your of your skeg about even with your driveshaft you will see a little tiny hole. It get's plugged up over time with junk and that throws your speedo off. I usually use a small drill bit and it cleans right out. Can't...

I've been hauling large Grady's around on a roller/bunk combo trailer for years. No problems.

The option the rep is referring to is installing the Furuno heading sensor. You need a heading sensor in order to do overlay. If you already have an autopilot in your boat then you would already have a heading sensor that could feed NEMA data to the Navnet and thus give you "overlay." I use...
