I'm going to give mine a good look see next time I'm down on the boat. I'm gonna have somebody look back there when we throttle up and see if any water comes into the motor well from that fitting.

This is what is should like from the other side. I believe there is a drain in the motor well that is plumbed to the trim tab recess.

So, looking to move from my 272 to a Marlin. Can't afford a newer model so looking at anything from 2004 to 2012. Some have gensets others don't. Some had them and then removed but wiring and plumbing remain. As this will be used as a charter boat, I really want an operable genset. How hard...

I'll see if I can get the name off of one of mine tomorrow.

Just had the exact same thing happen to me. Mine was 94 two stroke but non the less the same parts involved. It's a pretty straight forward fix once you have replacement parts in hand. Youtube is your friend. Several good videos on changing these seals.

Here's how mine are configured. The tubes are just welded to a tube that is bent to follow the line of the hardtop. Three flanges are welded to the tube and are through bolted in the hardtop. See attached pics.

It did make it tight in the cockpit. Add a larger cooler for fish box and any more than four people in the back of the boat was difficult. I have since removed the chair. I use beanbag chairs for the clients to ride out and in on and they go on the bow while fishing. Makes fishing a lot easier.

There is a 1/2" aluminum plate mounted into the underside of the deck cover. Through bolted with three screws so taking it in and out...not an option.

There was a battle station in mine when I bougjt it but changed that over to chair. You can see it in the pic below.

Congratulations on the new to you ride. I have a 94 model and yes I too have one of those little boggers broken. Don't miss it much to you start running into a head sea and you pound a time or two. They at least keep the switch covers from flapping. I'll be following to see if anyone might...

If Grady customer service can't help you, give the folks at Boat Steering Solutions, LLC a call. They are some very helpful folks and also a source for the flexible hoses. boatsteering.com

Pretty much. You can slow down the cure by placing in an airtight bag and placing in the refrigerator. But, in the end, it turns into a rock.

I'm impressed by your persistence in finding out the details concerning the hull. However, I need to ask...have you questioned a competent mechanic on the cost to re-sleeve the 225's? I was quoted $7500 per engine just this summer on a pair of 04's. Just be prepared on all you're going to...

Just a thought...my ac unit is mounted behind my frig so space for what you want to do should not be a problem at all. You could still keep the frige if you like.

Just for giggles...make sure that the port side fishbox/cooler doesn't have raw water plumbing inlet high up in the front side of the box. You will have to stand on your head to see it if it is there.

Man, do I feel so much better about myself. Thanks ;)

I did. They suggested I go to my local Grady dealer that they would be glad to help me with possibly finding a supplier. Yeah right. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. My local dealer (service dept) doesnt want to do anything other than warrenty work. The other have of the dealership...

As the title suggests, I'm trying to find another plastic insert for this water faucet. As you can see this one is starting to crack up in both of the bottome corners and has become quit brittle. Any ideas or suggestions??? Thanks, Keith
