Rod holders... Someone said that the redesign in '04 had three rod holders per hardtop leg....I wish they had continued that to '06 when they went back to two per leg. Check picture thread "New Marlin in Late March". Not a biggie though. My G/W dealer got me a great price on the hardtop rocket...

Fish Finder Arches.... Has the unit ever displayed anything suspended in the water? I can't recall the last time I saw fish arches that the unit wasn't in simulator mode....Just had this discussion with another charter Capt. a few days ago and we were joking about what a fish must look like in...

AutoPilot I would suggest that you check out the TR-1 Gladiator...not cheap but does more that I can remember.

G/W vs. Rabalo To me it does not matter what brand, what model, or what time of year it is...I'm not buying without a sea trial...period! I don't buy shoes without trying them on...I don't buy a new or used car without driving it first. Those folks who told you that "ride" was very important...

Whatiz? I can't tell you what that's for but I have the same thing on my 2006 Marlin....I'll be watching this thread in hopes of finding out!

Navnet 3.... Got a invite to attend a Furuno "You bought it, now use it!" class in Nov. at Bethel Marine in Brevard Co. FL...While the new Navnet3 was still not available there was a demo presentation running on a Raymarine E120...Same..same said the Furuno man.....All I can say is you better...

loose screws Another "fix" I have found was originaly a temporary fix but in truth it lasts a long time...simply put a length of tie-wrap into the rounded out screw hole and replace the screw. It functions like a nylok bolt and can be trimmed to be invisible.

Bottom Painter I dry berth my Marlin at Cape Marina in Port Canaveral and they do bottom painting on all sizes of boats...I've seen some very large Sport Fisherman painted as well as smaller boats. I'm no expert but the finish looks good to me. Give them a call at 321-783-8410.

Engine breakin Pardon the second post but I've just gone through the initial period with a pair of F250's....I think you should gather some input on using anything that is a fuel or oil additive during the first 100 hours. Those babies need to seat-in (another way to say break-in or seat-in is...

Flushing the F250 If you intend to flush those F250's with Salt-Away, I'd get a little advice from the dealer if it ( Salt-Away ) can be used on the non-running hose flusher provided by Yamaha. I say this because I, like you, believed in a good earmuff fresh water flush after salt water use...

Side-Mount Outriggers I have a set of Lee Seniors and at 23 ft. they are a handfull... Fishing and open ocean operation is top notch ( you could drag a dead body with the single spreaders and never know it) where they prove difficult is negociating the ICW with it's short clearance bridges...

Does anyone know who the G/W owner was who rescued the two Bahamian Conch Fisherman 27 miles out of New Smyrna Beach (Ponce Inlet) on Sunday ? I just caught part of the story on the late news Sunday night...looked like a 28' Sailfish or perhaps a 300 Marlin. The Bahamians were adrift for four...

Strange Vibe's... I'd pull the prop and look for any mono wrapped around the prop shaft. This can cut seals and allow water into the lower unit for a lot of trouble to occur. Also drop out the lower drain bolt on the motor's foot and be sure to catch the fluid...you can see water if thats...

G/W repower...Hondas? I currently own three Hondas...a 90 and twin 130's, and if I could have talked G/W into equiping my '06 Marlin with Hondas I would have owned five. To be fair, the F250 Yamahas are also trouble free. I own three Hondas for one simple reason...they work! The second reason...

TR-1 Problems I have had a TR-1 Gladiator since mid-April of this year...no problems to speak of but I have heard that the installer has a lot to do with the success of the unit particularly when interfacing with multiple units. I would give Megabytes advice great merit since I believe he has...

Anyone have any news of the possible new Grady club starting up around Ponce? Got a questionire from G-W but havn't heard anything else...anyone have any info?

300 Marlin in March Megabytes: Thanks for compliments...It was looking at pix of your boat and a few others that convinced me to sea trial a Marlin. Yes you're right that's a 6kw in the four foot width...had to move the anchor light back a few inches but it wasn't any big deal since the...

Took delivery of the "WarDance" in late March (07). She lives at Cape Marina in Port Canaveral on the dry bunks (so no bottom painting). This is her first launch and even though I know the Yard Bull is rated over 20K lbs. it still makes me nervous. First trip to the Gulf Stream and my...
