New Marlin Owner

[Nediver]

Hi all,

New owner here of an older 94 Grady Marlin. First boat for me so steep learning curve and lots of projects but I could not be happier. Looking forward to learning more from you all.

Welcome and congratulations. Lots of information available from the crowd on here.

Hi All,

I have a pretty long punch list going at the moment. Here are a few of the most pressing issues and I would love some input.

1) My helm windows are leaking at the corners. It looks like the rubber seals have shrunk over time. I was planning to use black silicone?

2) My fresh water tank leaks or my lines are leaking but I've lost the entire tank each time I go out. Would plumbing dye help to diagnose?

3) One of my wipers does work. I can see the the gear box in cabin and I have a Fluke Multimeter but have not troubleshot it yet. I assume if its getting power I will need to replace the part - where would be best place to source this?

4) My Graco Marine head only works by hand pump. Again I have not put a multimeter to it yet, but one time (oddly only once) the breaker tripped when I held the flush button down for sometime. If its wiring I am comfortable fixing. If I need to take apart the motor I am not sure what I am looking for?
