I have a Furuno TZT2 (12") and a little Raymarine eS7. I believe that two of the big Furuno's would fit. I just had the Raymarine so I reused it. I don't have the factory flush mount helm though. I fabricated the plate and it may have more room. I have a pic here...

I redid the battery switch panel and the configuration in my 04 Marlin last year. 3 banks using 4 batteries. Details here. Pics no longer showing up for some reason http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24619 I think this is the best most foolproof way to do it. I never think...

Instead of using starboard, I used abs plastic about 3/16” thick that looks like carbon fiber. It’s a material that’s widely used by many boat manufacturers. I used it for both the new switch panel and to flush mount the electronics. It takes a damn long time to hand cut all those switch...

I’m currently running 3 blade 16” x 18.5” pitch props. To get more grip in rough seas I may try 16” diameter 4 blades To answer the original question, I think 300hp is a good match to this boat and it’s got plenty of power and runs 46mph wide open. That said if the 2004 Marlin was rated at...

2004 Marline with 2017 DF300 Suzuki's at about 4000 RPM. 200 Gallons fuel, full water, 3 people, lots of gear

I have an 04 Marlin that we recently repowered with Suzuki DF300's. They are a nice match to the hull, quiet and efficient. After having owned DF300's in the past and never having had an issue, this was the way I wanted to go. Since the 04 is rated for 600hp and the price difference to 250's...

I successfully bonded 4"X1" thick starboard discs to fiberglass to install underwater lights to my hull. I used the Lord 7542 AB and followed the directions including sanding and flame treating the starboard and sanding the gelcoat. I used very heavy duty gorilla tape to hold the discs to the...

Re: Installing Pronautic 1240 in Grady Marlin Question for E All the grounds on the batteries are connected together. You can connect the ground at the battery negative.

You're going to really like the Marlin. We have an 04 with Suzuki 300's and I do like it more than I thought I was going to. It's very fast and efficient and rides great. Plenty of room and storage on this boat. Good luck

Getting closer to finishing this up this project. I got all the e breakers installed and everything screwed down. The bilge pump circuit breakers are red and are protected with covers since they are always on. I also installed a small led light on top of the panel on the compartment so you could...

Bob if I remember it's about 9.5x 11. It's not a very deep compartment so you need to flush mount the switches and grind down the latch to allow the door to close properly. I haven't been able to get any more done on the project but will hopefully have it complete in the next couple weeks. Scott

I'm in the middle of upgrading the battery switch and circuit breaker panel in my 2004 Grady Marlin for a new panel I'm building containing a BEP twin outboard/3 battery cluster and 6 new breakers. I currently have 4 group 31 batteries that Grady separates into 2 banks. The port bank is...

Hi welcome to the board. I have a 2004 Marlin and have the FP Gen as well. Mine runs for now. I don't think too many other diesel generators are going to fit in that tight space. Access isn't too bad if you remove the floor access hatch. I remove mine pretty often lately since I've been...

Bobby I sent you a PM. Scott

Actually I'd like to replace the cockpit drains with ss if possible. For aesthetics mostly. I'll check the actual scuppers and replace them if necessary. They are above the waterline. I'll report back.

Art thanks I searched and couldn't find much. To be clear I'm more interested in the deck drains but maybe I should replace the whole system. I'll check it out. As far as pics the boat is still in NC and I'm in nj but I'll post a few. Thanks very much. I have a lot to do on this boat to get...

Well after owning my previous boat for 14 seasons, I finally moved on and up to a 2004 Grady Marlin 300. Found a boat with 2013 Suzuki 300's. I've had a great experience with this engine on the prior boat so hopefully these perform as well. I usually do all my own work on the boat but the...
