Thanks guys, I will check it out tomorrow. G'rilla

Anyone have a clue why my steering wheel is squeaking? We were out fishing yesterday and my daughter says (she was driving) "Dad the steering wheel is squeaking it needs WD 40 or something". Darn if it was in fact squeaking when we turn the wheel. Anyone had that happen? I have a 2007...

covers I did basically the same on my Marlin. I also had a cover made for the cabin entrance, and the side bolsters and back. I learned the hard way with my Sailfish that the sun eats everything, even the hinges on the access door.

Update on Windless problem Well guys, after several trips having to manually pull up my anchor, further trouble shooting, finally found out the real problem. It was not batteries, it was not the electrical, not the solenoid, and it was not the windless motor. It was the gearing in the Lewmar...

Moving up to a Marlin I moved up from a 272 to the Marlin. I have twin 250 4 strokes and absolutely love it. So does the Admiral. Good move in my book. By the by, my 272 had twin 2 stroke 200's and I get the same fuel economy that I did then now with the 4 stroke 250s. Plenty of power and...

long life Check the Grady White site for recommended cruise for your boat. I have twin 250 4 strokes on my Marlin, and my best fuel economy long range running is at 4100 RPM. I routinely run 4200 and if I am in a hell of a hurray run at 4400. My Yamaha mechanic says I will get 12+ years on...

bigger is better Recommend bigger.....my Admiral was not happy with the cabin on the Sailfish, hence the Marlin. I will say I am much happier with the Marlin also. Sometimes the Admiral does good.

Guys I am not able to find a replacement door button latch for the fish box. Anyone know where Grady gets them?

Hatch in floor Here is a couple pics of my mod.

recommendation I would go with the Seafarer. Rode in a Cat once, never again. Choppy seas will make your liver bleed. I had a Seafarer for eight years and loved it. Got footitus and went up to a Sailfish, had it for almost eight years and ended up now with the Marlin. Wife is happier with...

new boat? I agree.... "twofootitis" will get you.....I recommend you skip the Sailfish and go straight to a Marlin. Keeps the wife happy down below!

sunglasses I have tried several and prefer Costa Del Mar.

Marlin numbers Bob is right. My 250s are 4 strokes.

12 volt DC I just looked under the helm on my Marlin. There is a 12 Volt DC fuze box covered with a plastic cover. Push the yellow spring clip take the cover off and check those fuzes. There are also two in line fuzes under the helm just to the right (looking up) on the starboard side. I...

Marlin numbers Mine is a 2007, but with a full load of Ice, fuel, fishing gear, and 4 guys on board, I run it at 4100 RPM (Gray white recommend best economy) depending on seas of course, and it burns 20.5 gallons per hour. Sometimes I get in a hurry and run at 4200, burns 21 gal per hour...

cleaning agents Grady White recommends vinegar. I use it straight and it works great. I brush it on or wipe it on depending on where, wait 5 min and wash or wipe it off.

Electrical problem I would check the fuzes at the helm. They are under the rubber buttons. You did of course check the circuit breaker by the batteries. The big yellow throw switches under the battery selector switches. I baffooned that away trouble shooting my windless!

caulk I used GE Almond and it looks good. Damn near perfect match.

access hatch I have a 2007 Marlin and I added an access hatch in the floor above the water separators. It was killing me to change the fuel water separators. Basically it is a 13 inch by 30 inch hatch that snaps back down on the floor. Water tight. The color does not quite match the Grady...

boat care I run my Marlin in the gulf. It gets covered in salt. I have it on a lift behind the house so it is exposed to lots of salt water. I have had 3 Grady Whites and all of them did just fine by taking care by washing with soap and fresh water, the entire boat, especially all the metal...
