Where on the Chesapeake are you located? There are Grady White Owners Clubs in Maryland and Virginia that have both land based and cruise events

My lender required my Marlin 300 to be documented but in Maryland I still have to get an annual sticker from the state. It made my insurance provider very happy that I have a documented boat.

Here in Maryland, USA we are under a Stay Home Order except for going to the grocery store, doctor, drug store. All non-essential travel and boating are prohibited and all non essential businesses are closed. Schools are closed too. But fishing or crabbing from a boat is OK if it’s to put food...

I have a 2003 Marlin 300 with twin Yamaha F225 4-strokes and I’ve been looking into repowering options. First you have to consider weight and what your hull was designed to handle. Some of my fishing buddy’s repowered their Marlins with Suzuki 250 fly by wire 4-strokes for $35-38k. But their...

I bought a 2003 Marlin 30 with both the hull decals and engine decals have seen better days. I had a hard enough time getting the old name decals off, how did you guys get the hull side decals off?

I bought a pre-owned Marlin 30 but first ran into hull moisture and delamination issues on the older hulls I was considering. I did spring for a survey on what I thought was the perfect boat at the perfect price, but it failed the survey because of hull side delamination. The surveyor advised me...

I was thinking I had to remove the access penal on the deck. The impeller on my gen-set had to be replaced, I looked at the limited access, gave up on doing it myself and the repair tech had to remove the panal and rebed it again. So that’s what I’ll do. I also want to replace the potable water...

Hi guys.....I have to winterize my “new to us” 2003 Marlin 30 with a Kohler gen-set. I’m not sure how to go about doing it. I was told most gen-sets are winterized by taking the intake hose off the sea cock, putting it in a jug of antifreeze and let the generator suck it out until the exhaust...

Get it surveyed. I had to pay for a failed survey on a 2000 hull with 2014 F-250 Yamaha’s. Thought it was the perfect boat for the perfect price. What I learned, and what the surveyor already knew, is wide beam Grady’s up to about 2005 have hull side delamination problems due to excess moisture...

My wife wants to replace the standard Jabsco raw water toilet in our Marlin 30 with a freshwater toilet. I was looking at the Raritan Fresh Head because it says it’s a direct replacement for the Jabsco. I’m not sure I can do the install and hose replacement myself because of mobility issues. So...

Hi guys I need to replace all my sanitary hoses because they really smell. I’m guessing the access for the holding tank is under the aft birth. But I don’t know, can anyone fill me in? Thanks

I’ll look into that...thanks

Only the wide beam models 10’ and greater had the problem, so you are good. My old boat had an OX-66 engine and I learned they are susceptible to blown heads and pistons if there is water in the fuel. I always used Yamaha Ringfree and a stabilizer and never had an issue. One of my fishing...

I have one of those manual flush Jabsco’s with the electric flush conversion. Both Jabsco and Raritan make freshwater marinetoilets in the compact and regular size. Raritan Has a fresh water marine toilet that is supposed to be a direct replacement for my Jabsco. I live in Annapolis and Raritan...

In February I bought a 2003 Marlin 30. We use it more for cruising with the local GW club and the marina yacht club than fishing.

I recently purchased 2003 Marlin 30 and now I’m faced with hauling, blocking and storing it for the winter. I was thinking about trailer storage but a trailer for a boat this Big is $$$. I’d be interested to know how much a trailer would be

Caveat Emptor.....Invest in a marine survey if you have any concerns. Wide beam GW’s of that vintage have known hull delamination issues. What I thought was the perfect Marlin 30 at the perfect price failed the survey due to hull side delamination. Cost me some $$$ to find out but it saved me...

My fellow GW owners In December we bought a 2003 Marlin 30 so we had a boat big enough to spend nights at the marina and go on overnight cruises. We had no prior experience with a marine head, holding tank or pressurized water system. My wife gets really upset with the odor from the marine head...

I got a $5k and 7k estimate for the full install of a bow thruster in my Marlin 30. But I’m doing OK with just using the engines and some steering wheel. But in heavy current I can be very inapt pulling up to the Tiki Bar Dock.

Hi guys Bought a 2003 Marlin 30 this winter and it’s been great. But the next to last time out my starboard engine wouldn’t trim all the way down or start. I switched the battery selector to both and I was off and running. But the last time out with the AC battery charger on for 3 days the...
