    Adding an Additional (emergency) Bilge Pump in the Stern - 2006 Marlin

    Has anyone added a second bilge pump in the stern? Seems a bit tight. Also, finding somewhere to route a new hose to a thru-hull fitting also seems challenging. I really would like to have a second "high water" bilge pump in the stern.

    Converting 12v fridge to dual 120v/12v

    Looking for some input. Converting the 12v fridge on my 2006 Marlin to dual 12v/120v. Using a relay, it will switch over to 120v when I am connected to shore power and then automatically goes to 12v when shore power is disconnected. I am using a 10a 12v power supply (PU) and a 12v 30a relay...

    Guest charger not for use while pulling a draw??

    I had to replace the old Guest 2722-B charger on my 2006 Grady Marlin. So I replaced it with a Guest 2740A 4 bank charger. When I would return to the boat, I noticed the house batteries were dead, the charger was in a standby mode and not charging. I called Guest and told them the charger wasn't...

    Mounting radar on hardtop "hump"

    Has anyone mounted their radome on top of their hardtop "hump"? I presently have my radome mounted in front of the "hump" on a Seaview mount with a small wedge. I would like to move it to the "hump". Looks like I will need a more significant wedge angle. I plan to mount a remote spotlight in...

    Electronics "Black Box" Locations

    Curious as to where people have been mounting their electronic's control units... aka "black boxes" (network hub, sounder box, autopilot CCU, etc) The only place I see room is the panel in the aft cabin under the helm, or the shelf on the starboard side of the aft cabin. Any other ideas? 2006...

    2006 Marlin Air Conditioning Control unit / Thermostat

    Still going through this "new to me" Marlin. Seems like the thermostat is reading a lower than actual temperature and shutting off the compressor to soon. Ambient temp in cabin is 75 (according to handheld thermometer) but the thermostat is reading low at 64-65 deg. At 65 the compressor does...

    Transom Rod Rack on 2006 Marlin

    Was curious who has them and how they were thru-bolting? Looks like I will probably have to make a couple of access holes through the fishbox and foam?

    Can jump gen starter, but not start with control panel

    Wondering if anyone has advice... When I tried to start my gen, the relay's clicked, but nothing happened. I can hear the fuel pump as well. So I replaced the starter. Then I noticed I can "jump" the solenoid and get it started and it seems to run well. My gen is getting full 12.9 volts. And I...

    Marlin Battery Wiring

    Finally joined the fam with a 2006 300 Marlin. Pretty impressed with what I have seen so far. But the battery wiring surprised me. The house bank is not isolated? Typically I have seen 1 batt for each motor, and then two batts in parallel and isolated as the house supply. But from what I see in...

    300 Marlin - Gen or not to Gen?

    I am looking at some 2005 Marlin 300's. Some with, some without the Fisher Panda Generator. I primarily want a gen for the handful of times I overnight offshore fish each year. But I am wondering if it would be wiser to simply use a portable Honda for those few times a year, as opposed to the...
