    transom cap on a marlin 30

    I have a 1998 marlin, and the crummy aluminum piece they used as a transom cap is getting bent, and corroded.

    yamaha 704 shifter question

    I recently had to pull my Yamaha 704 dual binnacle shifter to access the bolts that hold the starboard lever on. I got the lever replaced, but now the forward-reverse on both motors is very stiff. When I disconnect the shifter linkage at the motors, the shifter is smooth as silk. The boat is a...

    Looking to purchase a Grady

    I am looking to move up to a 30' Grady Marlin. I have looked at a few which all seem in good shape. Aside from the exhaust corrosion issues on the 225's, is there anything I need to be looking for as far as problems? Also about how many hours can I expect out of the 4 stroke 225's or 250's? Thanks
