Thanks guys.......... How about that curved back rest on the aft bench seat? Any secrets there?

2001 Marlin and it's time to recover the bolsters. I'm pretty sure that there are some screws on the bottom of the bolsters but what do I do when I get them out? How do I remove the curved bench seat seatback cushion? Transom door bolster? How about re-mounting them afterwards? Any tricks or...

You must first upload your photos to an online web hosting site like Photobucket.com. Once they are there, you copy the web link to THAT photo by to the the IMG box right above any posting/reply box where you type in your posts. It just takes some practice...... You might want to search around...

I used to hand-slog it over to Bimini and beyond in sloppy seas with the 1994 252 Sailfish and when we moved up to the 2001 Marlin I spent a LOT of time researching exactly what A/P would be best for my needs as well as working well with the boat..... to the point of calling Simrad and talking...

I just Googled Grady-White + parts and came up with at least one source that might be worth a call....... http://www.southeasternmarine.net/eshopitems_cat_6953.Grady-White_Parts.htm

I think that West marine still has a "New Owner Special" that gives you discounts from 10-40% or so off on any items that you buy in the first 30 days of owning your new boat! Take your sales reciept with you when you go to stock up!!

I usually run over and back to the Bahamas with the aft Bimini out/deployed, but I honestly forget about putting it back out before we left Grand Cay until we were half way home! Plus, we were hoping to stop and fish in the Gulf Stream if we ran into any weedlines, etc. I try to hose off the...

Your boat's Manual will have detailed directions on how to empty the tank. Don't forget that most fuel docks can pump you empty. Open the access hole on your port walkway, stick the nozzle in and have them turn the machine on. When the clear hose shows nothing left passing through, have them...

I just posted this in the Fishing Reports Section but some of you who don't look down there very often may enjoy the many photos from our most recent Bahamas trip aboard our 2001 Marlin, the HEY MON! Here ya go......... http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16495

I just went through a tach swap myself on an OX-66. You'll find the best price by ordering an entire rigging kit for about $269 from the nice folks at http://www.simyamaha.com. If you buy the tach alone, it's gonna be in the $350 range....... go figure! My new tach hooked right up and I had...

We ran the 120 miles over to Grand Cay in the Abacos in the far north of the Bahamas from our home dock in Ft Lauderdale for the long Memorial Day weekend. This map shows West End where we stopped to clear Customs, re-fuel and have a great lunch of fresh conch down at the local beach...

1) Let the wind/current be your "friend". Use it to help you control the boat. 2) Never approach a dock/piling faster than you are willing to hit it......... go slow! 3) Have your crew "ready" with lines attached to the boat and boat hook(s) in hand. 4) Before you attempt to dock, size up the...

I checked with my buddy who has 200 HPDIs on his Contender........ keep in mind that he put over 4,000 hours on his 1987 G-W befor he bought his Contender! Hope this helps....... "We have not had any fuel related issues - with 10 Micron filters and using RingFree every time we add gas. We...

How about some photos to share with us? :lol:

I put a Furuno NavNet w/radar on my 2001 Marlin and LOVE it but that's well beyond your budget. However, I agree that a radar is far more than just for birds. Mine helps with weather/storms avoidance, potential collision avoidance with other boats (it will paint two guys is a 12' jon boat) and...

As a follow-up, I took the new tach out to the boat, flopped the cabin access panel down and started eyeballing the wiring of the new tach to the wires coming out of the original tach and it was "different"! I called the guy back to notify that he'd sent me the wrong tach and he assured me that...

Actually, I pulled the macerator out last month to clean and repair it and it was not a bad job at all. That's probably because I stay on top of the cleanliness by flushing it (often) with fresh water, using the blue deodarant stuff, everyone using the home bathroom before we shove off, etc...

If you can hear the pump running, it probably is. It's possible that the quantity indicator is just stuck....as mine probably is as well. When I pump it out offshore, I close the cabin door so that I can hear the pump running. When it starts to "grind" a bit louder, I assume that the tank's...

You might consider removing the lower electronics doors and flushmounting the new stuff. I did that on my Marlin and I love it! On my 1994 Sailfish, the stuff was inside the box but I was very limited as to what I could buy and put in there. Flush mounting will give you many more options as to...
