Our 2006 Marlin helm seat (starboard side) recently cracked at the base. In addition the armrests have not fit this seat properly since we purchased the boat used in 2008. Overall while the seat itself still looks pretty good, I'm not too happy with it. I'm strongly considering replacing the...

I have recently read a member here was having troubles with his newly purchased boat (208 I think). We recently ran a few tests and I hope our results will help others. 2002 Grady 209 with every option available (T-top with curtains, freshwater shower, livewell, baitwell, leaning post, full...

A. 2002 Grady 209, need new freshwater shower handle complete (black plastic). Looks almost identical to the shower handle on the 2006 Marlin. B. 2006 Grady 300, need new freshwater spray handle for bait station (chrome colored plastic) C. 2006 300, need new Pur brand filter assembly...

I finally took a ride on our 2002 209 today. I am almost certain the engine height could be raised at least one hole after running it for a few hours today. On the same subject, I've been considering raising the engines on our 300 for a few years now. I'm hoping you guys could give me a...

I noticed that the white plastic trim that covers the vertical transom edges (facing the engine) on our 209 need to be resealed (caulk was literally falling out in spots). When I pulled the plastic trim off, I noticed that Grady used some sort of hard material to coat the edges where the...

We recently purchased a 2002 Grady 209 with factory T-top and every option Grady offered. The boat has 205 hours from the original owner and was stored indoors. The only electronics on the boat are VHF radio, AM/FM stereo and an inexpensive fish-finder. Our plan is to install a recently...

I asked on this board and a few others what the performance differences woudld be with the two different props. Others have chimed in and gave some guidance. Without boring you with all the details I will post the basics below. Yes, I am well aware we are supposed to use knots intead of mph...

I am considering replacing my existing Yamaha 15-1/4 x 19 Saltwater Series II propellers. Both require minor repairs (one is slightly bent and one just got nicked this weekend). Based on my reading the Mercury Revolution four blade props may be my best choice. I am not that concerned with top...

My 2006 Marlin came with a inexpensive Standard VHF connected to a inexpensive Shakespeare 8' antenna . The antenna is mounted on the stbd. side of the 'hump' on the hardtop, towards the front. In addition there is a small Furuno GPS antenna mounted on the port side of the hump on the hardtop...

We are planning to head out to the canyon on Friday. Most likely we will fish the Tom's Canyon. Anyone else heading out? Our backup plan is to fish the 20 or 30 fathom line if the seas are less than ideal. We are coming out of Barnegat Inlet.

Recently a good friend had his 2000 Yamaha 250 EFI blow up (seized). He is considering all of his options; A. Sell boat as is B. Rebuild power-head himself C. Purchase new or rebuilt power-head D. Re-power with new technology E. Purchase used identical engine Boat is a 1992 Grady...

I have the 1934 version. The current inexpensive in-hull transducer does not meet my needs, as it will not read bottom reliably in over 400' nor does it read temperature. We fish the NJ canyons and I need to be able to read bottom in at least 1500' of water and being a tuna fisherman I need to...

Just thought this might be of help to some boaters looking into safety equipment. Prices look very competitiive from my research. http://www.boemarine.com/Support/Articl ... afce154b8b

There are no center rod holders on the boat, except for the hardtop mounted rod holders. I am considering adding a few rod holders to the transom of the boat, either a cluster or three or four facing aft or perhaps three or four indvual surface mount. As far as I know there is no where to...

I have the original chip that came with the boat (Navionics US Mid Atlantic & Canyons Jan 2006). It offers almost no details once I get a few miles from shore. I believe the manufacturer offers a update program if you send them your old chip. In addition, I think they offer a fishing chip...

I know this topic gets covered on just abut every fishing/boating website out there but I am looking for advise from you guys. My boat came with a Furuno 1944C radar/chrtplotter/fishfinder flush mounted connected to a Airmar 600 watt in hull transducer. This transducer works adequately in...

Just purchased a barely used set of Lee Pro Style 24' consisting of 8' base and 16' single spreader outriggers. They were originally installed on a 2004 33' Grady Express. I now have to decide where to mount all of the hardware on the hardtop, and helm sides. I am hoping that any of you guys...

I remember someone posting recently with regard to windshield wiper replacement. I cannot find the infromation I need. Does anyone know what size wipers are on a 2006 Marlin? I need both stbd. and port side replacements. Thank you.

I finally bought the boat of my dreams, it's a 2006 Grady Marlin in great shape. Less then forty hours on the Yamaha 250 FS, top quality Furuno electronics, AP 26 autopilot, most options I wanted, very clean etc. Previous owner just didn't have the time (or desire I guess) to use the boat. He...

I am about to purchase a set of used Lee senior outriggers from a private seller in Florida. I need to ship the outriggers to Wrightsville, North Carolina where I will have them installed and have them 'Hatteras Rigged' (thanks Mega). Any ideas on how to ship them without damaging the (now...
