    Resolved!!! Was: Need help… Update: Reverse P-Trap in the Head Discharge??? Was: Holding Tank Question

    I definitely need help on this one. Ok, so I found the problem on our 96 Marlin. There is an upside-down P-Trap behind the head wall, just below the access port. It has some kind of nipple or vent or hose or something that is broken or missing at the top. Here is a full view of the P-Trap...

    Holding Tank Question

    Well, I must have been naughty this year, because Santa left me some sewage in the bilge of our Marlin 30 (1996). I may have multiple problems, so bear with me... The tank level indicator for the holding tank is clearly not working. It says it is 1/2 full, but before I emptied it last time, it...

    Windshield Washer Knob Leak

    Any idea where to get a replacement knob for the Windshield Washer valve at the helm? Mine started leaking from the back last weekend, and I haven’t had a chance to take it apart. (1996 Marlin) I checked the archives, but didn’t see anything on it… but I can’t believe I am the only one that has...

    Anyone Added a 2nd Water Tank?

    Has anyone added a 2nd water tank to their Grady? I have a 1996 Marlin 30 with the 35 gallon (I assume it is original) under the sea well at the transom. There appears to be enough room under the aft berth (in front of the waste tank) for a second water tank. Does anyone have any ideas on how...

    Welcome to the Transom Club... Need help in SW FL

Does anyone have any recommendations on companies that may be able to do transom work in the SW FL area...

    Moving the anode/grounding plate on a Marlin 30

    It looks like the anode/grounding plate on a 1996 Marlin 30 is in a bad place. It seems that most dry storage racks are about 30-36" wide, and that is right where the anode is. Mine was in REALLY bad shape, when we got it earlier in the summer, and now it is about gone after a summer of going in...

    Kill Switch Works... for only one engine.

    Ok, so this one has me a little confused. Up until this weekend, the kill switch worked for both engines. Now, it only works for one. I.e., the port engine fires right up, when the kill switch is pulled, but the starboard one won't start (as expected). As far as I know, that is the original kill...

    "Bulkhead" between Fuel Tanks

    Hello, We just got a 1996 Marlin 30 that needs a little love, so this will be the first of many stupid questions that I will ask! The Bulkhead/spacer that is between the two fuel tanks is totally disintegrated. (It is the thin board between my feet in the photo below.) It is glassed in to the...

    1996 Marlin 30 Air Conditioning Questions

    I am in the process of buying a 1996 Marlin 30. Project #1 is to add an Air Conditioner. Two questions for 1996ish Marlin Owners: 1. What size (BTU) A/C Units do you have? 2. Where are the thru-hulls (intake and outtake) located? 3. Where is the unit itself located? A picture is worth 1,000...
