What autopilot's are you running for a Grady White Marlin? Just spoke to BOE marine and they recommended the Simrad AP44 with the RPU160 pump. A lot of my inboard boat friends are running the Raymarine EV-200 with a type 1 pump. They said that pump would be undersized for my outboards and...

Hi all, After 18 years the refrig. finally crapped out. There is a Norcold DC-440 in there currently. I haven't read to many good reviews on the new Norcold refrigerators, made overseas I think. Does anyone know of a direct replacement to the old Norcold fridge? It looks like Dometic makes...

Can someone walk me thru the process. Thanks, John

Hey everyone, I couldn't pass up a black friday deal on a Raymarine Dragonfly Pro 7. I currently have a Raymarine A series unit connected to the through hull transducer. The new unit has down vision and chirp but it comes with a transom mount transducer. First, will the new unit interfere...

Hey everyone, I know this has been discussed a few times but I just need some more clarification. I have a 2000 Marlin with a Jabsco Electric Macerator Head. This summer it would work intermittently. Almost never when on 12 volt battery power alone. I would need to be plugged into shore...

Hey Guys, I was running my GW marlin a month ago and decided to switch from the main gas tank to the Aux. gas tank. The boat went a mile and died. I switched back to the main but still needed a tow to get in. Upon inspection of the fuel water separators I noticed some water. I bought every...

I'm having the bottom of my 2000 Marlin stripped, barrier coated and re-painted. I boat on Lake Ontario. The marina is recommending VC17M for the bottom paint versus the Micron CSC that is on the bottom currently. They said any boat that is being stripped down to the gel coat the only thing...

I recently drained all of the water out of the water system through the faucets. Trying to get any residual anti freeze from the winter. I refilled the tank a few time and pumped it all through. I just re filled the tank last week and now I have air in the lines. I can hear the pump running...

I currently have 2 stainless propellers on my 250 Saltwater Series Yamahas that say 7-M on them. First who makes them? and second is there an Aluminum propeller that matches up with the 7-M Stainless. I run to the 1000 Islands in the summer and there is shoals everywhere and I'm a little...

I went to my local canvas guy today to get a price on new glass for the boat along with the cockpit bolsters and rear seat. For the bolsters & rear seat he's around $925.00. It looks like a PITA to do yourself, especially around the rear seat. Does this price seem to be in line with what...

Does anyone here have any recommendations for a Grady White Marlin Trailer? I was thinking aluminum, tri axle, 10,000# plus capacity. Does anyone have a trailer they currently use that they really like? I'll probably use it more for storage than anything else. Thanks, John

I have a new to me 2000 Marlin this year. Does the head get flushing water from the freshwater tank or external water outside the boat? Also my freshwater tank smells like rotten eggs after the water being in there for more than 2 weeks. I've been adding the conditioner from West Marine but...

I have a new to me 2000, 300 Marlin. The helm seat rocks a lot. There are a few strips of plastic left between the spider and the seat bottom that fall out regularly. Any idea where you can get that plastic replacement piece? Is it part of the seat or spider mechanism? Thanks for the...

I recently purchased a 2000 Grady Marlin. I have put about 20 hours total on the boat between trolling 1 engine at 2mph and cruising. The boat has twin 250 Yamaha Saltwater series engines and digital readouts. I have the dash board switch set on the auxillary tank. The gas gage on the...

I recently purchased a 2000 GW Marlin. The 4 bank of batteries had one bad battery. These were all starting batteries. When I went to Interstate they said I should put in at least one Deep Cycle Battery because I troll for trout & salmon and the electronics along with the downriggers would...

I just purchased a 2000 Marlin and had it winterized and stored. The marina was suppose to block the boat but decided to leave the boat on a yard trailer. When I checked it out today I noticed the boat's hull strakes were sitting on the wood of the trailer in some spots. I questioned the...

I just purchased a 2000 GW Marlin and it was missing the V-Berth insert. Any idea where I can purchase one? Is the table top used as the support for the insert or does the insert have some built in support? Thanks, John
