oooops, guess I timed that poorly! Enjoy your auto pilot!

Buy my Simrad AP44 in the For Sale area. Its a deal .........and has a complete sea star hose system. It was intended for my Marlin but the boat has been sold.

My 2000 Marlin came with the correct fitting top bag from Grady White. Perhaps you could start there. I don't know about the top contour for earlier models but I will say that they used the same hardtop for many years after 2000. The matching contour Grady T-bag holds a large amount of life...

Congrats on the Marlin purchase. You are most likely getting just under one statute mile per gallon of fuel at 3800 RPM with both fuel tanks filled. Prior to repowering my Marlin , I Ran the same motors, Your motors are very forgiving but love to drink fuel. I have been to Block Canyon (85...

One last note: 300 or 250 E-Tec G2's................same exact motor .............different programing. Yes, that is correct info directly from my dealer. My 2000 Marlin has a 500hp transom rating so I chose to stick with it. Our marlin has a top speed of 44 mph @ 50% fuel with 4...

Ok, lets talk E-Tec G2's I do know that I was the first on this forum to re=power my Marlin with G2- 250's. I currently have over 300 hrs on the motors and I have zero complaints. I will say that operation of the G2's is equal to 4 strokes in cost per mile of operation when comparing the...

Beside the pressure relief, the Hot hot water heater has a low drain valve. Is this valve in the closed position for sure ?

Agreed ! I've been running twin 250 G 2's with 4 blade RX props since 2016.

Thanks for the link and info. I'm pulling the trigger on this project.

Has anyone installed this in their cockpit and helm ? Just received my template kit. My non-skid is fine but I'm liking the look of the teak colors. From what I have read it holds up and cleans well. I must admit I am a bit reluctant to pull the trigger since once it is stuck there is no...

Twin 250 Evinrude G2's.................Evinrude XD100 only Yamalube TCw3 in the old injected OX 66's

Nss Evo2 9" just fit.......in the lower electronics / box

I've been running a pair of G2 250's on my Marlin since their release. Welcome to the club !!

I have been running a pair of Evinrude G2 250's on my 2000 Marlin since the motors came on the market. 300 plus hours later.........I continue to remain very pleased with my purchase. I have had much interest in prospective buyers of my Marlin but am not interested in selling at this time...

Although not quiet as easy as RI Grady makes it out to be if your intent is to make them look like OEM .......The link below may be of assistance to you. I reupholstered combing pads, stern seat and seat back on my old 98' 272 Sailfish in 2012. Fun project .......as long as you have a Walking...
