The snaps should be similar to West Marine. The garbage tool they sell does not properly 'roll' the stem properly. IT WILL work by getting creative enough to complete the roll with a blunt object. The key that was not mentioned above is cushions usually require some type of 'backing'...

Re: This could be the start of a great rumor that could take on a life of it's own.........THE SWORDFISH 346!!!

Riverdance performers beware of your crew's finesse. More choreography than Nutrcrakcer. Nice fish count!

350's are overkill for this boat and not sure if Grady even has the specs. on their website for this config. I'm sure Center Console owners will disagree because they are all about speed. The Marlin hull design and beam simply will not perform as much as you would expect with the 200HP...

She's 20 years old.....so everything could be a potential problem. Start with engine survey first, then boat survey if you plan on making an offer. Sure could use more information and glad to help when I get back from my Marlin this weekend. Good luck!

This does not answer your post but had to mention the time, money, and inconvenience of dealing with stale fuel is nothing short of perpetual sea sickness. I do most maintenance myself and found the price for my local mechanic was, by far, worth it to have them perform this service. Pumps...

I go 15 miles offshore solo and keep everything in closed position. Obviously I keep the livewell open if I'm carrying some in the tank. Once the high water alarm is 'finally' installed.....I'll relax a little and open the head thru hull and probably keep it open 100% of the time. If the...

Sounds like your fuse on the auto bilge is breached. You also have a leak somewhere....surprise. Go with the second post suggestion of closing all thru hulls, dry up the bilge, then check on your next visit. If you find freshwater......you've narrowed it down to sump pump issue, rainwater...

Best investment ever made by boaters is a rotary buffer/polisher. Pay for itself in 1 or 2 uses. That's truly the way to get her shining......forever if done regularly. Woody Wax will shed off the hull like Slater going down that emergency slide. WW Not intended for hull and won't last long...

Very important you can identify every single thru hull in the boat. Rule of thumb is they all need to be turned off while underway so the hull doesn't get flooded if the plumbing fails. Yes, the head is a thru hull fitting for intake and is accessed under the 8" circle plate just outside the...

How do you differentiate shop computer from onboard computer. The onboard computer will help narrow down the problem immediately when hooked up to a Yamaha 'shop' laptop. If your mechanic is Yamaha certified.....I am missing something. 101 is hook up the computer for diagnosis.

My pump seems to have a filter clog and needs access. Is this accessed through holding tank hatch or passenger seat tackle box? Thanks!

You're only 4" over limit at the transom. Check DMV as some states allow oversize trailering on weekends.

Cannot mount on swim platform due to vibration and weight. To answer your question.....20".

I'm too jealous of the dock to comment.......OK, Awesome ride! Are you at capacity with fuel in the photo? just curious

Had the same setup on trailer and not sure if the figure actually exists. 23 and 5" length plus 3' Pulpit (this includes the bow rail extending) plus engine bracket 2' plus distance to prop 2' to 3'. The trailer tongue will extend about 2' beyond the tip of the bow rail. I'm guessing that...

Usually fish with only 1 other person and I like to keep us both within cockpit and helm areas.

Please define offshore and your type of fishing. 70 to reach shelf in my area and I don't use the Walkaround feature on my Marlin outside of 30. Glad to help....just need to hear your direction.

Yes. I have made this specific move 5 months ago. Went from 2003 Gulfstream to a 150 hour 2002 Marlin (hard to believe but true). Primary reason was cabin space for liveaboard weekends and overnight offshore. 4' or less seas I average almost double knots than the Gulfstream. Far too many...

Saltwater and Wastewater go together quite well. Unless you discharge the tank frequently, you may want to reconsider going to fresh. If you run far offshore, 1 less Thru Hull to worry about is always a good thing. To answer you question, I'd suggest tapping into the freshwater washdown...
