    Fischer Panda generator issue

    Ran the generator a few weeks ago at the dock just to run it because it has been sitting for a month. Wanted to change the oil before getting pulled out for the winter. Ran it again for 10 minutes to warm the oil. As I opened the deck hatch I could smell some smoke. Though maybe just exhaust...

    Rust from Marlin fishbox drain.

    I have been bleeding rust from the fishbox thru-hull fitting for a few years. The inside and outside of the hose looks to be dry rotted and the wire wrap is rusting. Tried to get at the double clamps on the fitting, but my shoulder against the stringer my arm is a foot and half to short. Even...

    Did your headliner survive this winter?

    I had Grady sent out the guys from Long Island to fix a major crack in the headliner back in 2012. This has been a known problem for the Northeast Grady owners. After this winter with the yo-yo temperatures going down to 6 degrees then back to the 40's and back down again, I got a short crack...

    F250 lower mount corrosion

    Anybody had to deal with this yet? Thinking about cutting off the bolts and install new ones from the outside so I don't have to take apart the power head. [/album][/album]

    6 year old F250 maintence+FP generator

    Decided to tackle the VST filter this year on 2007 F250 Yamaha's with 373 hours. After seeing the filter element I was glad to change them. I had a lot of what I guess was phase separation in the fuel last year. I would dump the filters out into a jar and you could see what looked like heavy...

    Grady Web site virus

    The Grady White web site is being blocked by google and bing when searched. Webs sense at work is blocking it and my Norton search is also flagging it for computer threats. Don't know whats going on or if they even know about it.

    dreaded headliner crack

    I have read about this here before and it has now happened to me. Just checked on the boat to get it ready to launch and found a rather large split in the plastic. It was fine when the boat was hauled and covered for the winter and it has been a very mild winter this year too. I called Grady...

    Bow thruster question

    I have been losing a thruster blade each season for the 2 years I have owned the boat. Last week the thruster made some very unusual noises with no thrust each way and then the problem cleared itself but the thruster did not sound right. I knew a blade was lost just like last year. I was pulled...

    Water in Marlin bilge

    I know this has been discussed a lot here. I went over what I did on mine to keep the water out when the last person asked about this. This past weekend I found a few more sources. Before leaving on a fishing trip I check the forward bilge and it was dry. I had the livewell running most of the...

    I want to install a Carbon Monoxide detector in the cabin of my 2007 Marlin. Does anybody know what brand Grady uses and were do they mount it? I know it is hardwired into the y system.

    Generator project

    Getting ready to install a F/P gen set this spring in my 2007 Marlin 300. I just have few questions. Does anybody know who makes the diesel tank? Is there a fuel gauge mount on the breaker panel in the cabin like the manual states? I guess the ship or shore switch is a set of breakers with a...

    own genny installation??

    Been considering installing a generator on my 2007 Marlin. After looking at all the different ones, I keep leaning towards the Fischer Panda. A number of build are now installing them. I do like the full freshwater cooling off the field coils so you don't have to run a blower at the same time...

    A/P pump location

    Has anybody used the open area behind the Teleflex steering pump to install the autopilot pump on a 30 Marlin? Is this a good spot to install it and did you enlarge the access cover? My new Simrad system is on the way and I am trying to figure out were to install everything once the major snow...

    Fiberglass glass repair advise.

    After hauling my Marlin this year, I found I have two gashes that are the length and with of a pencil on the bottom of the hull. It took off the gelcoat down the fibers in the mat. It may have cut a few strands loose but did not cut into the mat. What would be the best way to fill this in? Do...

    Extendable sun shade

    Here is a retractile sun shade my brother and I are working on. After this past summer, frying in the sun we knew we needed something to get some shade. I saw the power shade the Boston Whaler have been installing but they are way too expensive and if the top wasn't designed to house the...

    Another A/P question

    I pretty much made up my mind that I want the Simrad Autopilot. I like the color display in the Raymarine but it seams everyone on all the boards I checked say the Simrad unit is the way to go. My question is the about the A/P pump. Has anyone installed the Teleflex pump that bolts up to the...

    Pulpit rail replacement.

    Went down to my new Marlin 300 over the weekend to have some fun on the last day of summer and found my bow rail bent over to one side. Some lousy sailbote hit it and took off to his home port and denies everything. Don't know how much the damage is going to cost and I am thinking of filling a...

    Winter cover time

    I am looking to get a custom fit cover for my 300 Marlin. Has anybody used the Fisher Canvas Company? I was wondering how they are and how much it they cost. Also saw another company called Fisher Brothers that made a cover out of what looks like heavy Ty-vac material. Just wondering what other...
