I have a unique opportunity to repower my 2001 Marlin 300 with 2015 Mercury 300 Verados. I would be switching from original Yamaha 250 OX66's. Does anyone have any experience with Mercs on a Grady? I understand I would be gaining approximately 100 pounds per OB. I also understand that the boat...

Boat: 2001 Grady White Marlin 300 Power: Twin O/B OX66 Salt Water 250 Two Strokes Symptom: In rough seas, while under power (2k RPM or more) starboard motor is throttling back on its own. Its always done this but I've never noticed it with just one engine and not as frequent. And it seems to be...

for those who keep their boat in saltwater, what type of basic clean up do you do when putting your rig away for the night after use? Reason I ask is I just moved my rig from a brackish slip to a all salt slip. Does fresh water wash down and rinse suffice? Or do you break out the soap and...

My port side navigation light is not working. I've played with the unit, cleaned the contacts, replaced the bulb and I still cant get it to work. Next step is the fuse. I pulled the cap above the switch but how and the heck do you get that fuse out? Looks like I need a magnet. Anybody?

Anyone have an pics of their custom electronics configuration on their Marlin? I'm waiting to take delivery on a new Raymarine C120W. When I get it, its going to be custom installed (flushmount) on the dash/storage box on my helm. I'm a little worried about the alteration to the existing...

I get quezzy thinking about anything that goes thru the hull, but in order to get the job done right, I am told that I need a thru Hull transducer. (My Furuno FCV 585 isnt displaying temp or speed and I lose bottom often). Anyone ever have any leaky issues or other issues associated with thru...

I currently have an older Furuno (2001 era), large open array radar unit. The unit does not seem to be working properly. I'm new to radars and I am not sure if its user error or unit error. I need a new chartploltter. Raymarine has a package deal for a C90 chartplotter with a dome radar...

The digital display on my Fuel mngmnt gauge went out on me this weekend. I didnt expect it to last too long, (it looked like it suffered some previous damage when I took possession of the boat last year) As far as I can tell, its just the digital display. Its trying to display a reading but its...

On New Years day I headed out to the Bay with my two boys for our first overnighter of the year. Temps were in the 50's with no wind. Fish didnt bite too much, but my son was persitent and got his first sturgeon of the year, a healthy 56"er. Not bad for an 11 year old! Eat your heart out...

I have a couple of quick question for those who have USCG Documented Vessels. According to my docs that I recently received in the mail from USCG, I must mark the "Official Number" at least 3" high on some clearly visible interior structural part of the hull. It also states that the numbers must...

Took my 6 month old to me 2001 Marlin out past the Golden Gate for the first time. What a dream boat. Water conditions were great, but I got a general idea how she would handle traditional sea conditions (swells etc) I'm slowly getting up rhe courage to do a long range run for Tuna, but I'm...

I bought my Grady (300 Marlin) back in March. I was using it so often that I didn't ever feel the need to hook up the shore power cord. When I knew I was going to be off the boate34 longer then normal I decided to hook up the power cord. The first cople of trips out after went well, but after...

I bought a Marlin 300 on March. The boat came witha Furuno FCV 585 and I just now realized that the water temp gauge is not not displaying a temp. I'm still learning my way around the unit. Is there something that I'm missing? Or is it possible that the unit didnt even have a water temp option...

Took the kids out last week for a quick cruise and some fishing. Quickly found out that the pump in the toilet was not engaging. It would not pump water in or out of the head. If I held the dial in either position, I would throw a breaker. I'm stumped. Anyone else have a similar issue...

I'm looking for a system of rod holders capable of holding 4-6 rods while bait fishing off the anchor. Preferable a balancing system straight off the back. I'm looking for suggestions. Similar systems out here on the west coast have a custom rack spread out across the back with independent "Y"...

Would you or do you beach a 30' Marlin? (releatively speaking, more like pulling up to the beach tying off during high tide). I used to do it with my old boat, but it carried half the gross weight. I know of a few sandy spots in the delta (nor cal) and would like to go ashore from time to...

As promised, here are some first day pics of our new Grady Marlin! (New to us) My gorgeous wife Sonya at the dealer before signing away our lives (She's the best) And its her birthday! On the road. I trully realized how big this thing is when it went under a low overpass and barely...

Thanks to everyone who gave their input! I bounced around a little between the Marlin and the 265 Express. I loved the Express helm, and sporty look, but I had to go with size and practicality over style etc. My 2001 Marlin comes nicely outfitted with a Furuno Fish finder (8" screen)...

I know this is a forward question, but what price would you put on a 2001 Marlin in excellent condition? The boat carries two Yam 250 2 strokes that purrrrr. The boat is very clean with little visible wear and tare from use. The motors do not have an hour meter,,,:? There is a Furuno fish...

ok GW Owners! I had my heart set on a 265 Express with the center helm and bench seating, but I just got turned onto a 2001 Marlin 300 in turn key condition (??) Price difference is around 15k (more for the Marlin) Seems like a lot more to offer on the Marlin. Any thoughts or input would greatly...
