    Marlin 300 stock F225 motor height? Prop size?

    Not sure where the factory position was. But with my f225’s, I have them mounted in the third hole(second highest mounting position). I run ofs4 15.25x17 props. I thought about switching to a 16 pitch version of the prop as my max rpm’s are on the lower side of the suggested range, but will...

    Question on Yamaha wiring

    You were probably setup with command link gauges(square) on the 150’s before switching back to the older style. I understand that is a different setup all together.

    Question on Yamaha wiring

    I swapped out my 2001 ox66 250’s for some 2004 F225txrc’s. I’m having an issue though when it comes to the harnesses. I would like to try and still use the factory 2001 ox66 rigging harness if any way possible. The boat side of the harness has two 4 pin connectors. One male connector with a...

    Prop question for F225’s

    I wanted to see if anyone running f225’s are using four blade props? I have a pair of ofs4 17 four blades I’d like to use on my marlin 300 with f225’s, I just wasn’t sure if they would be too much prop or not for the setup. Figured I’d check to see if others have any input to share. Thank you

    relocating batteries on marlin 280

    Its not the answer your wanting to hear... but you may need to raise the scuppers which is a lot more involved than moving batteries. While moving the batteries might help slightly with how its sitting in the water, its not going to make a massive difference. If your scuppers are half way...

    GW 330 Express Recommendations

    I will say if your slip is anywhere near some strong currents or boat traffic... a thruster will be a HUGE benefit. Its one of those things that after you use one(if you conditions favor one), you'll wonder why you ever waited so long to get a boat with one. Unfortunately its not so easy to...

    Fuel selector question

    So on my 01 Grady marlin, I am trying to figure out which outboard(port or starboard) each of the fuel selector valve actually goes to. Right now each outboard runs off of a separate tank, one on the main and one on the aux. I’m just not positive which tank is feeding which outboard. I’ve...

    Interior lighting LED options

    I swapped all the bulbs in my marlin over to LED. They work great and use considerably less electric. Also, be careful selecting new bulbs/lights. Some of them have a different color/temp and can look very different.

    Has anyone replaced the copper steering lines?

    I noticed a little colored corrosion on the copper steering lines on my 01 marlin. I’m thinking it may be an issue at some point and time. Has anyone ever replaced these lines with regular hoses?

    Big girls!

    I feel your pain! I’m waiting for some better weather to get the bottom painted on our marlin. Hoping to splash it in a couple weeks.

    Florida to Bimini trip

    So who has done the trip from Florida over to Bimini in their Grady? We are thinking of trailering our Marlin down to Ft Lauderdale and running it over for a week or so. Any input from the group?

    Steering hose question

    I noticed on my marlin the bulkhead steering hose has a cracked plastic but on it. I haven’t messed with yet. But, I’m wondering if that nut actually tightens down to seal the actual connection between the metal steering line and rubber hose? Or, is it just more for the protective cover over...

I have heard of Many many boats having rot/delamination in the sides and bad/soft/wet transoms.... But I...
