    Boat Lift Advice

    Concur with going with the larger lift, plus be sure it has zincs on it, and check/change them every 6-8 months.

    Thru Hull transducer

    I have the thru hull transducer on my Marlin on the flat and have never had an issue with turbulence or poor readings unless going in reverse.

    300 Marlin - 250’s or 300’s?

    I have a 2007 Marlin with F250s. I have 1891 hours on them, they run great. Keep up on the recommended maintenance and the engines should go 4000 hours. I did add a hatch to the aft floor to access the fuel water separators. Fairly easy if you are handy with a skill saw.

    ABRUPT STALLING AT ABOUT 3700 RPM

    Did you change the fuel/water separator? I would also check the fuel/water separator to see if you have water in the fuel tank/tanks.

    Last Friday, 21 Aug, we were returning from offshore when we hit something, not sure what it was as we never saw it, but we hit it doing 30. Starboard engine made some really horrible banging noises, my son was driving at the time so he snatched the throttles to neutral. We could not get the...

    I have Allstate, it was cheaper than Progressive for the same coverage. Shop around, most companies want your business.

    Fuel gauge question - what to trust?

    i have found over the years(almost 13) I have had my Marlin with twin Yamaha F-250 my fuel used is pretty accurate, by that I mean +/- 1 gallons. The bars on the fuel gauge are not nearly as accurate as the fuel used. I keep a log of fuel used and record it and compare it to when I fill up the...

    2009 Yamaha F250 bogging down, stalled out underway

    I think Seasick might have hit the nail on the head. If the fuel primers are old (3 years or so in the sun) they may have hair line cracks and sucking air in. That happened to me a couple weeks ago, changed both primers and all is well now.

    Front hatch seal

    I have had a heck of a tour sealing the overhead hatch in the cabin. I have tried three different kinds of seals with limited to no luck, it is still leaking. Anyone have a suggestion on what kind of seal to use? Thanks.

    Marlin 30 owners

    I have had 5 boats, 3 Gradys in a row, the most recent a 2007 Marlin. Best boat by far that I have ever owned. Great fishing, great cruising, and the Admiral loves it too.
