Charlie Brown hit the base of the post on nine minutes for the home side before Grimsby opened the scoring after 26 minutes.
A Reece Staunton free-kick was fired home by Kabia from close range.
It should have been two after 32 minutes when Evan Khouri got the ball one-on-one but his first shot was saved by keeper Ollie Wright and he blazed the rebound over the bar.
Five minutes after the re-start, the Mariners were awarded a penalty when Farrend Rawson fouled Harvey Rodgers and Wright dived to his right to save Kabia's spot-kick.
They were made to pay for their missed chances after 65 minutes when Alex Henderson volleyed a drop ball into the area and it was headed home by Walton.
