I saw a used Marlin for sale with a Kenyon electric built in to where the bait prep sink was. Very slick setup. I would like to see how much that conversion was. Kenyon is a somewhat local comapny i believe. Official grill of the Pats or something.

I went with the Pompanette T2005 for my Marlin. No flip bolster but its a great seat. Ordered from Defender. You could get the new Grady seat from a dealer but it will cost you.

The one option my Mariln didn't have was the TV. I ordered a 22" TV/DVD combo from Amazon and a locking arm mount designed for RVs. I had it installed this week and I think it turned out real nice. Wired into the DC side to watch underway without the generator. Doesn't take up much space either.

Yes, I see what appears to be the drain fitting, but not the pressure relief valve. It wasn't leaking from the drain fitting, apparently I just don't know where the pressure relief valve is to tell that it was leaking from there. The marina is putting in a new fresh water pump tomorrow as I...

Marina just called. They said it was the pressure relief valve and they closed it. Where is it located on the hot water tank? All I could see was the hose fitting for draining.

Thanks I’ll have to look for a pressure release valve. It’s a tight space in there. Owners manual doesn’t say much. I’m guessing it’s something to do with winterization. On the positive I had just dumped a gallon of bilge cleaner in so I had to pump it anyways. And now the bilge is very clean.

Filled up fresh tank for the first time his spring. I was able to pressurize and run the system, but he tank pretty quickly went to empty. All into the forward bilge. I pulled the starboard tackle drawers. Pump is hooked up. Runs fine. I see the hot water tank and a faucet fitting on it...

I struck out at autozone and Napa last year. Ended up finding some at wal mart. I’ll get the specs next time I’m on the boat. I stocked up. They had them in the car care center, not on the shelf.

I have the same charger 2005 model. I thought it was bad as it was always red. Turned out batteries were bad. Changed all 4 and it charges now. Did you check the batteries?

Yes we are talking about the same thing. I’d say definitely cheaper to recover it even if it needs new foam. Just have to figure out how to get it off.

Companion bench correct? I have one as well. Looks like there is a support bar in the front that comes off. From there I don’t know. I’ll be calling the factory this fall though as mine will be getting recovered. I upgraded my helm chair so the port bench is next for refreshing. It’s costing me...

I bought an 05 Marlin last year. Yes there are some 30-33 foot Grady's with some moisture issues. Odds are though, if you find one that passes a survey you won't have any problems if cared for. Worst case, it's just wood and fiberglass. Note that once you start looking at this size of boat...

I keep my EPIRB in the ditch bag, which is stored in the port side radio box in the hard top, and 1 portable VHF in there. PLB on my person with another handheld VHF on my belt. I fish alone often. Waters cold up here and I figure the VHF is probably the most important item. EPIRB or PLB...

Slight yes. Generator is about centerline but 4 big heavy batteries to port.

They did my 05 last year. 2 guys from NC. Couldn’t have been nicer. Took the whole cabin apart, fixed it , and put it back together and cleaned up.

I put in the West Marine group 27 starting batteries last year. Actually did all 4. Yamaha and Grady recommended them. The key I guess is the 182 reserve minutes for my F225s. In any case they work fine.

Got all of my eisenglass polished with the IMAR product. Worked really well and it's super clear now. Removed the old hull emblems and had the marina do a compound and wax job as well as fresh bottom paint. New Grady White hull emblems going on now, got the easy one done today. Installed a...

Went down again today. Turns out there are weep holes at the very bottom. They were plugged. Did a dilute bleach clean and its much better now. No bleach on the hoses though.

Yes 3.3L. Unsure of the specs on the props though.

I had a 208 for about 5 years prior to the Marlin. My area is out of Gloucester MA. Conditions are variable, but seldom flat calm. The 208 really liked tab to keep the bow in the water. The Marlin doesn't seem that way, even in chop I'll trim up the motors a touch and that's usually fine. I...
