Re: New here, buying a Grady, could use some help from Exper Hopefully you already are aware of this but stay away from ethanol fuels. Always use Marine non ethanol fuel. I spent most of the day yesterday helping a buddy clean out his engines from residue from his fuel lines that the ethanol...

I have 24 foot Lee Pro series layout on my Marlin. I added a center rigger and now I can pull 7 lines comfortably. I can email you a picture of the center rigger if you are interested.

Re: Need Help with Fish Finder / Chartplotter Purchase Decis Opinions are like...arm pits everyone has at least two..... I had a Furuno on my Sailfish and did not like it. With the Marlin I went with a Garmin 4212. If you are going to open up the purse some the 4208 is a great machine and...

The trip from Carrabelle to Clearwater was 7.7 hours, but I had to run North East out of Dog Island to avoid the heavy sea in the middle of the Big Bend. So my route was not direct. Once we got about 15 miles NE of Dog Island I cut across toward Cedar Key until the seas were behind us then ran...

Well guys the trip from Panama City Beach FL to Lower Matacumbe Key went as well as I had hoped. Took the Marlin 300 all the way, boat ran great, got textbook fuel flows. We went from PCB to Apalachicola on day one, stayed at the Water Street Marina. Tried to go out Government Cut the next...

I found it easier to have a name on the boat. Also generates lots of questions from fellow boaters.

Ted, Sorry forgot to include my email address: g0tagrip@bellsouth.net The 0 is a zero not an oooooo

I have two that I got a few years ago for my Sailfish that are adjustable, don't need them anymore since I upgraded to a Marlin. They are damn near new. Send me your email address and I can send you a picture of them, I will be happy to sell them to you cheap.

For the curious: I bought the boat new, I am the only user. I flush engines after every use with fresh water via the hose. I change thermostats per the Yamaha engine book recommendation every 200 hours. I started using the Salt Away after the 400 hour point, been using it ever since. And I...

Gents: Here is a tip I got more than a year ago from a Yamaha mechanic. After changing my thermostats which were looking really bad, he suggested I run Salt Away thru the engines when flushing them. Well I have been doing it ever since and last week I had the thermostats changed (200 hour...

I have them on my Marlin plus I put a center rigger on it also. I like them to keep rods out of the way, very useful addition.

Naples Boat Mart, I bought two Grady's from them, ask for Russell Philips phone 239-643-2292. Great folks.

I assume you already have twin engines, if so, not sure why you want a kicker.

I use vinegar to wipe down all the inside of the cabin, bathroom, refer, hardtop, basically everywhere mold will grow. Works great, and was recommended by the Grady White tech. Straight vinegar on a towel cloth. Just finished doing my boat today.

I make my own rigs for all the fishing I do whether offshore trolling for wahoo, tuna, and mahia or if I am bottom fishing for snapper and grouper. So I have different bags for the different fishing. Offshore rigs I use the large fold up mesh bags. For bottom fishing rigs I use a bag that has...

My boat has the electric vacku flush system, only uses fresh water from the water tank. I think somehow I am leaking fresh water into the head system. Trying to trouble shoot today.

Thanks ROBERTH for the tip, that worked! Just need to figure out where the water leak is now. Thanks again great tip!

I have been having a problem with my macerator pump also. How did you get if to free up? Also I noticed last week after I had the holding tank pumped out at the marina, by the time we got home the tank was full again. I must have a water leak. I did not notice the water pump coming on to...

Well you were correct $2000 each way, rethinking the plan now. Attempting to talk CINC/Wife into making a voyage out of the trip down and back.

Yes I think that is not right. The charger should have a auto off function so as not to over charge your batteries. Read the manual and see if there is a auto selection.
