    SSB

    I don't know much about SSB, so I went with a Globalstar Sat phone. I considered SSB so I could listen to commercials more. There are designated channels that the Coast Guard monitors, and then there are tons of channels that you can learn to monitor to pick up information. I only know a...

    Trailer Guide Poles

    I appreciate the feedback. I had intended to try some of these techniques such as moving a bit at a time but I'll be replacing my helm quad seal today instead. I had a great discussion with an older guy at the yard. My target bunks are not set up correctly. I'll move the forward ending a...

    Trailer Guide Poles

    I'll take some photos today. Putting a new antenna on, darned memory and low wires. Also, a plea for the administration to use Tapatalk, makes photos effortless.

    Trailer Guide Poles

    I appreciate the input. On my last boat I installed 12' side boards for windy loads on a 26' boat. I could load that boat with power loading as I also had UHMW strip on my bunks. This boat is just that much more weight that power loading is not possible unless I sink the trailer deep. We...

    Changing impeller in diesel generator

    Can someone take a video of this process so we can enjoy some popcorn? I need to do this and I'm not looking forward to the spectacle. I'd take a GoPro but from the sound of it, it may not fit in the space while I'm trying to fit in there and I'm swearing at the Panda.

    Trailer Guide Poles

    I have a triple axle I Beam trailer that I use to move my 2007 Marlin. I have to sink the trailer very deep to load and it is difficult to tell how centered the boat is. I use a boat hook to locate the fenders and try to keep the boat centered as someone else cranks the winch. I'm looking for...

    Re: Marlin 300 - Evinrude G2 repower I'm curious, hopefully years from a repower, how will their steering interface with an autopilot? I have the Simrad AP 28.

    Tunahunter, here some links of general photos of my Marlin. Your needs may be different. I hope the links work. New hoses installed last summer. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mx2kymnkxk97l ... 5.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/85vwxj9gxecau ... 2.jpg?dl=0

    Push Rod for seacock valve

    Dale1, did the fitting screw on to the rod? I have 4 that I'll replace soon, just wondering if I can match them locally.

    full enclosure questions

    I use my Marlin off the Oregon coast and wish it had a hard cabin. I use my roll up windows all the time. Note to Grady: hard top on a Marlin would be heaven.

    Shore power not working 300 Marlin

    I'm interested in this topic just to better understand my own boat. For shore power, does it make a difference whether I use the top or bottom plug in for a 30 amp connection? Have you tried both?

    Marlin rear bilge access panel questions

    I've heard that putting braid line in the seam makes subsequent removal easier. Has anyone done this and had it worked?

    Ex Dolphin falls off Grady.

    Hard to believe but the Grady was recovered on Dead Mans Reef, Grand Bahamas. In the video of the full interview he stated it was a 31'. I'll look for the link to the 24 minute interview. http://m.local10.com/sports/former-miam ... e/30662766

    Towing the Marlin

    Thanks for the photos. They will help in adjusting my target bunks. My side thruster gets caught on the edge of the target bunk. Now I see that the target bunks need to move beck a bit. Randy II

    Electronic Manual

    Had anyone had an eyes on test of this app? I'm hopeful it might be more complete with color photos of systems and connections. Looks very cool. Hope the link works. http://youtu.be/KxOaqSWyJGM

    custom alaska top on grady white

    Well, more like an open back for when it is only misting. An Alaskan bulkhead has no pass through in the front to the back. Your front bilge pump keeps the front afloat, and the rear bilge pump does the same for the stern. No drainage from the front to the rear bilge.

    custom alaska top on grady white

    Or, have you considered the resale value? In the PNW a good wrap around top is invaluable. I've seen an Alaskan style top made by Norvelle in Nehalem, OR on a Striper that would increase value. Having moved from a 2601 Striper to my Marlin, I long for that solid fiberglass wrap around when...
