I have a trailered 06 Marlin and tow it with an 04 F-250 Super Duty with the 6.0. Yes we had it bulletproofed. She’s wide enough to need a permit to tow but no flags or signage. Florida’s pretty easy to get the permit. I have yet to be asked for it but the furthest ramp I go to is 15 miles...

The one on my 06 Marlin is just as tall and wide as the door frame. The depth is about 9 7/16 from to the door frame from the back of the insert.

I called GW and asked for my lengths for my Marlin. It took a few days but you can’t beat getting the right answer first time.

You had me curious so I went out and did the battery test on the motor. Used it for 3 1/2 or 4 hours on last Wednesday and it’s been sitting since then and the self test says I have 80 to 95% battery left. Not saying that’s gospel just what the test tells me according to the manual.

Atleast 6 hours. I haven’t actually timed it but I’ve been out over 12 hours on a few occasions and subtracting 2 hours out and 2 hours back minus a few repositions to different spots. I haven’t had it die on me yet so I don’t know for sure. I turn it on as I’m trying to find the spot I want...

Calm it’s spot on. Once the trolling motor gets out of its spot, I think it’s 5 feet or something like that, it beeps and shuts down. For me that’s 3 foot waves or larger and some decent wind (10 mph or so). Choppy waves and gusty wind will give me some issues at times but in 2 foot or less...

Right now the 96’ trolling motor alone is $4k. I can find the receipt and get a complete breakdown of the parts if you want from Legendary here in PCB. Three batteries and a Minn Kota battery charger and wiring. It blocks the Nav lights so they deleted the factory ones on the bow and installed...

Yes. I do want to modify the rail just to make it easier but I can deploy and retrieve it solo. It did take a few times of doing it to get the hang of it though.

Here’s the link to what I posted. If you want any more pictures or anything specific let me know. I got it put on here locally in Panama City Beach. It does get too rough or windy for it to hold a spot but I normally don’t get out there to fish on those days anyway...

I have the Rhodan 96' on my Marlin and love it.

Oh they do. Much better than any of my previous non-Grady's.

Spent the whole day washing and waxing. Still have the starboard bow to go but man she looks good.

Starboard throttle was stiffer than the port for a while now. Last trip out I couldn’t get it above 3,000 RPM’s. I took the rubber boot that goes into the starboard engine off and found the throttle cable busted and rusty. Added the before picture.

It was rewarding. I was really careful with the control. The only thing that fell was the nut that holds the bottom screw to hold them together. My biggest fear was trying to save a few hundred dollars by doing it myself and costing me a thousand dollars because I messed it up.

I changed all 4 cables yesterday. I couldn't find any specific guidance on the Marlin so hopefully this helps someone else out. It took me 5 or 6 hours but that included pulling more panels off than I needed too, trying to figure out how to disassemble the throttle, etc. I emailed Grady White...

I posted a picture of the cable where it goes into the motor. The sheath is rusted and busted open.

I’ve changed a throttle cable on an F-16 but never on a boat. Tips like yours are what I’m looking for. The starboard throttle has started to not move as free as the port. This morning I moved both throttles through the full range of motion and the starboard one felt and sounded like there...

Last trip out my starboard motor wouldn’t go above 3k RPM and sometimes less than that. Luckily it was the end of the trip and we were inside of a mile from the dock. Throttle seemed “off”. A small amount of troubleshooting and found my throttle cable is done. I researched another post and...

It has a collar that attached to the shaft. The collar has a ball that fits into the RAM mount.

Honestly, I'm not sure if they put a backing plate in there or not. The interior panels make it pretty difficult to see in there without some serious disassembly. I don't see any defection in the fiberglass if I wiggle the head.
