    Marlin Maximum Capacity (People)

    I have an '07 Marlin, and especially like to go offshore (50 to 70 miles) for albacore tuna off of the coast of northern California (out of Sausalito). I am curious what you all believe to be the maximum people capacity of the Marlin for this type of trip. I realize that it depends upon many...

    Livewell operation

    I don't have experience with "bunkers," but I have left my live well running overnight on several occasions, using shore power, with anchovies. I do this as 1/2 a scoop of live anchovies (which is actually two rather large scoops) in San Francisco runs $30.00, and you get a ton of chovies...

    Marlin 300 - Leaky Deck Drawer = Water in Forward Keel Area

    I hadn't even considered the hard top mount....that is a more plausible source for water to enter the drawer below. As for contacting Grady, I have just had my dealer out to check the seal on the door. We did not investigate the hard top mount. I will test it this weekend and let you know...

    Marlin 300 - Leaky Deck Drawer = Water in Forward Keel Area

    Thanks for the response guys. As for how the water gets forward of the bildge pumps, if you have ever taken off the panel on the port side in the aft bunk (beneath this drawer) to access your head pump, you can see that any water is directed down and forward beneath the cabin area. If...

    Marlin 300 - Leaky Deck Drawer = Water in Forward Keel Area

    I have an '07 Marlin 300 which I love. However, I have a problem with leakeage in the forward keel area (at times, about four inches). It appears to be coming in through the drawer that is located to the lower left of the live bait tank, below the cabin walkaround. The first...

    Outriggers - Hard Top Mount vs Flybridge Release (?)

    I have a 30 foot Grady White Marlin 300 (2007) and am considering adding outriggers for tuna fishing. My boat is located in Sausalito, CA. Our Albacore season typically lasts from late July through October if we are fortunate. We went out tuna fishing four times last year without...
