My 2001 Marlin has Pompanette seats and the rubber arm rest pads are beyond cleaning. Anybody know of a good place to buy a new set other than my Grady dealer? Thanks.....

Looks like I'm going to repower the old 2001 Marlin with Yammie F-250s. I will hope to use the old, mechanical throttles, etc for cost purposes. What are the pros of the F-250s? What are the cons? What about props? I don't care about speed/acceleration but more concerned with fuel economy at...

The old 2001 Marlin and her engines are pretty tired. If I went new........................ Suzuki 250s ? Yammie F-250s ?

Kind of interested in a 2004 330 that got a new pair of F-300s in 2012. Just under 300 hours on the engines. Last year, the boat was highly upgraded with cushions, fridge, micro, re-built genset and more. So, my questions are: 1) Comments on the 2004 330? 2) Comments on this boat with...

Getting to the age where I may want to make that last move up in size while I can and want to enjoy it. We've enjoyed our 2001 Marlin for 11 summers now. Made about 16 trips to the northern Bahamas including two, 18 day sleep-aboard trips! We'd like a bigger cabin and being about the last guy...

On my 2001 Marlin, I have three pull-out tackle doors under my seat. 'Something' inside is blocking the latch and the door is stuck shut. Before I get out the power tools, is there a way to fix this? I'm thinking about drilling a hole through the latch to try and push something inside to get...

Had the 2001 Marlin pulled out for service, bottom paint and hull wax and noticed the rub rail and caps next to the engines were just about gone. Three Grady dealers all said the same thing, "Can't get any". TACO Marine sells some generic ones and as long as it fits, I don't care. Just...

With the Main Switch Panel 'on', the passenger wiper runs...... even with the Wiper switch off. That's bad. I tried to pop the covered breaker above the switch but all I did was to tear the rubber cover off! How do I cut the power to this one wiper? Thanks in advance.......

Was running very shallow last week looking for lobsters so I 'may' have ingested some sand/muck/debris. Powered up to move and a minute later got a hot horn. Shut it down, let it cool off. Got ready to run home and it fired right up and ran great for two miles then the horn came back on. Water...

Under the cockpit bolsters. a long piece of white vinyl trim has come unglued. What do you guys Rec to re-glue it back up there?

2001 Marlin with 4 batts. Yesterday I looked in to see the tray of two of my batts had some water in them and a little on top of the batts. I touched the "water" and it burned so I knew it was battery acid. The batts are about 2 years old as is the Grady dealer installed onboard charger. I...

I noticed that the air conditioning was not blowing as cold as normal so I took the metal filter out of in front of the condensor on my 2001 Marlin to find the tiny, thin metal vanes pretty clogged up with mold/mildew. What is the best way to clean this out? Also, my Grady dealer does not...

I've owned this boat for 6 summers now and suddenly, unless I wash the boat right away with lots of soapy suds and tons of water after taking some spray, I'm getting this overnight! It's never done that before so it was a real eye-opener! Is it the screws that are rusting? The base of the bow...

My Marlin has the built-in rear seat cushion which is very tricky to re-cover. Also, the port side bolster is one, elongated "L" shaped cushion making it tricky as well. If they don't get that corner stitched perfectly, it won't turn out well. I had one canvas shop turn me away when I brought...

Had a big leak after the last trip and could barely get the Yamaha up. It's at my local Grady dealer and it it's just a seal or two, no biggie, but he explained that the unit may have coroded over the years (2001 model) and if so, I'll need a whole trim/tilt unit running about $3,200!! Does that...

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...

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

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...

Okay, I'll soon be in the market for a 330 Express. Initially I thought that a 2005-07 model (F-250s) would be the focus, but when the Admiral told me that her company bonus would be a lot bigger, my mind kicked up with an additional 200 HP! So, if you own or are very knowledgeable about the...
