    Any advice to repair interior liner crack? (with photo)

    I would call Grady White customer service and see what they recommend. See what they say, nothing ventured nothing gained. If you bought the boat new, they may send a team out to fix it.

    Ring Free or not on new engines?

    Concur with KY Grady. I have been using ring free in my engines for years, 3 different boats, 5 engines, current 2007 F250s have 2008 hours on them and (knock on wood) no problems. I recommend you do it religiously.

    300 Marlin Rode

    I have 30 feet of chain and 300 feet of rode on my Marlin, the same delta anchor. It has always worked for me. I agree with Magicalbill, I do not think that is from the factory specs. I had the dealer add that to my order.

    Mods I made to my 2007 Marlin: 1. Modified the outriggers to be able to lower them and clip them to the hard top (to get under bridges) 2. Modified the bait station behind the starboard helm into an ice box (got tired of going down stairs for a beer) 3. Modified the rear port hatch with a...

    Price check ... slip and storage fees

    Cape Canaveral: Blue Points Marina Classy but expensive I think. For my Marlin dry stack storage - $827 a month. They charge depending on length, beam, and height. (4 years ago it was $585 a month). No additional charges for putting boats in or out, or to wash racks. Fuel on site, rec fuel...

    Well, our 3 day Atlantic red snapper season came and went. Hope those of you on the Atlantic side got to enjoy it. Luckily Friday and Sunday the weather and winds were light, Saturday the strong South wind coupled with the Gulf Stream made fishing difficult...but all in all great fun. Too bad...

    Water pump leak

    I did have an intermittent hot alarm on my port engine at low or idle power. After all the other things we tried (t-stats, flushing,etc.) the problem turned out to be the impeller (bad blade). Put a new one in and no problems since.

    Grady White 330 Express/Yamaha 250’s

    There are three cam sensors on those engines, did you replace all three? I had a similar problem with one of my F250s and we replaced all three since I could not determine which one was the culprit. However it did fix my problem.

    Service Early or Late?

    My two cents worth.....Assuming you had the 200 hour service completed, I would just bring a couple of fuel water separators with you and change them out at the 100 hour point. Check your oil level prior to your trip and do the remaining when you return. I did the same thing a couple years ago...
