    Who is your carrier ? It should be rated as a sport fish or walk around recreational fishing boat.

    “Shopping insurance is designed to be difficult.” it shouldn’t be ... of all the dumbass course curriculum thought in public schools these days one would think that something that is an everyday requirement for most adults would be mandatory learning but it’s not.

Travelers and Progressive each have a decent product and...

    Belated birthday present

    I just wanted to pass this on... dealing with Llebroc Industries was an absolute pleasure from ordering thru delivery. I had purchased a used Marlin this past fall which had a Llebroc Billfish helm chair with pivot arms. I liked it so much I wanted to match it and replace the bench seat on the...

    Enclosure Fabric/vinyl ??

    Fish... I had obtained a couple quotes here in OC, both using strata glass. The guy using the Stamoid as the canvas material was off the charts with a price of $5900. Apparently they were too busy as he said they were 4-6 months out when he hit me with that number (probably after a hit on the...

    Enclosure Fabric/vinyl ??

    Thread seemed to be one of the issues with mine too. The guy who quoted my replacement set uses Gortex thread and strata glass. He recommended another material in place of the Stamoid which he is going to show me Friday. I thought he called it “Mahler” but I’ll be damned if I can find it anywhere.

    Enclosure Fabric/vinyl ??

    Hey Guys/Gals what canvas/vinyl material is on your enclosure ? Stamoid or other ? And what color ? Ivory or white ? What does GW use other than the dark blue/black. I’m having my Marlin redone and the current color appears to be an Ivory or sort of cream not white. installer is also...

    Calling anyone who has successfully applied hull striping.

    ... x 3 on that soapy water spray. We lease some space to a sign shop and I observe them using it when applying decals and lettering to commercial vehicles. It allows them to correct mistakes as you describe

    Transom Rebuild - The Saga Begins

    Does treated wood corrode aluminum? Yes. Most of the new chemical treatments contain copper and should never come in direct contact with aluminum. Even more so in wet environments. During the building boom in the early to mid 2000's many so called "Flashing Scientist's" as I like to call them...

    repower 2007 30 Marlin

    As gOtagrip stated he has 1900+hours on his and still running. I had put 2100hours on a pair myself on a different boat before I sold it. They ran great. The current owner has put several hundred trouble free hours on them too. They were stamped 09/2006 and no exhaust issues either. Diligent oil...

    Compass location revisited.

    Good call ... I'm going to try to pinpoint the source with a small handheld compass next visit to the boat. All indications is it 's coming from the steering mechanism.

    Compass location revisited.

    Thanks for the input.... Boat is currently out of the water, no cell phones nearby and everything is shut off including the batteries. There is a Raymarine 12" Hybrid Touch (soon to be replaced with a Furuno TZT 3) mounted in the display area. As I stated the NEW compass is pointing in the...

    Compass location revisited.

    Hi all ... Purchased a used 2007 Marlin back in October and after running a few trips I observed the compass going haywire. Readings were all over the place on the run back in, the compass never seemed to want to settle in on course. Even while tied up in the slip I was observing 30+ degree...

    autopilot install

    We went with the Furuno 711 or our Marlin. Works beautifully. I also have one on the center console so I can hold a beer in one hand and a sandwich in the other. Both have been been excellent. Easy to use and has a bright display. Has push button function and the control knob (mini wheel) which...
