Best i can tell the only way to upload pictures is to post them on a sharing site and then post a link. I did it recently for some pictures of my bow thruster installation, and I am pretty sure it worked. I used google's share site (picasa), it was easy to set up and free. it then gave me...

Only from what I am told and not from actual use.... The idea spot is as far forward as possible, better leverage as the boat will want to pivot on the outboard. I have not measured, but I would estimate that it's only about 10 inches below the water line, so it will be well out of the...

bottom paint system I too will be taking on a new bottom system in the next few weeks. My boat is an 03 Marlin that was never painting. I have been reading around and spoke at length to the interlux rep at the boat show. I was thinking of using the barrier coat product, but not using the...

Some pictures would be great when you are able. i am going to be re-riggin this spring. thanks

should have noted That the boat was never bottom painted. New bottom paint system will be done in the next couple of weeks once some better weather arrives..

thruster update 2 weeks ago, my thruster was installed. timing worked out well for the guys, it was durring the few days of 60 degree weather. installation went very smothly, the guys from New England bow thruster were great. The boat is on stands at my house so i was able to see most of...

Interior flooring Just was at the boston boat show last night and was checking out a product called nuteak. www.nuteak.com Has anyone used this product? I am considering it for the interion floor of my Marlin as well as the steps down into the cabin. My carpet is in need of replacing...

Thanks for all the comments. After much deliberation, I have decided to go forward with the thruster. I made a deal with New England Bow Thruster on a lewmar 4.0 kw set up. I will likely go with an upgrade that will give me wireless control of my factory windlass as well. Installation...

I have been doing some further research on products and installers. I am looking into a lewmar unit. Has anyone had any expirince with them? In reading the comparisons on thier web site, they seem to perform better than the side power and Vetus in thrust and efficiency. I have a quote...

I recently purchaced a new to me 2003 Marlin. Am am seriously considering adding a thruster this spring. I am going to be running the boat short handed often and think this will help me manage to get into a tight slip with less stress. I have enjoyed reading the posts on this site. I...

Sorry for my delayed responce. I appreciate the comments and the advice! I have been looking at several boats and am now one step closer to owning one. I have an accepted offer on an 03 with the 225's pending survey. I am sure I will have many questions to come as I get it set up over...

I am looking for a Marlin, and am trying no narrow my search a bit. I am looing in the 2001 - 2006 range. I am thinking of a price range between 60K and 100K. I can get a good value on older boats with Yamaha 2 stroke motors but like the idea of having 4 strokes. What is conventionally...
