Oh and as far as any hull difference, I think that starting around 1997, they extended the bottom of the hull so that the running surface is the entire length of the bottom, whereas pre-1997 there's a notch toward the stern so when you look at the Marlin 28 as compared to the Marlin 300, they...

You guys absolutely should have no regrets, and as mentioned, you got a much better deal, quality and value as compared to the Century!!

I should add that hatch leaks not only when I wash the helm but also when water penetrates some areas of my enclosure when running in rough seas or weather...

The 10 small screws which hold together the 2 piece folding hatch at the cabin entrance ripped out of one of the pieces yesterday. It left holes in the plexiglass where the screws are supposed screw into, so I'm not sure if I need to replace the entire thing or try to fabricate some sort of new...

In case you didn't try this already, check the coils behind the intake screen to see if they're iced over and if so, melt them with a hair dryer. I have a '99 Marlin and the symptom you describe is what happens when my coils get too much frost on them which often happens when it's humid out and...

My '99 Marlin is currently under shrinkwrap but I have an access door and I'm taking care of a few things over the winter. When I winterized, I removed the rear access panel in order to service the generator and some other stuff. The panel was embedded in a ton of caulking which made it...

I have a 4212 mounted inside the left hand side in the top electronics box of my new-to-me '99 Marlin, with an older Furuno radar display and a VHF on the right hand side, and an older GPS and 2nd VHF in the console glove box. It's a very tight fit for the 4212, and the screen won't swivel or...

Thanks Rob. I'll pm you. I've also been meaning to post a follow up that Grady CS directed me to the wiring chart which shows the wire run around the bow and agreed that it's impossible to pull through using the factory-installed wires since they're bundled tight together.

I peeled off the electrical tape and found some exposed wire (which I'll have to clean up) and I'm getting voltage with the multimeter so I guess it's the pump. Thanks again.

I traced the lack of signal in my rear port speaker (next to the companion bench seat by the helm) to the speaker wire, so I pulled out the radio in the cabin and was all set to pull new speaker wire through using the old speaker wire from the speaker side. However, after I unbundled the old...

Thanks again to everyone for helping me choose (and now thoroughly enjoy) my new-to-me '99 Marlin! The shower sump pump and float switch don't work. I'm not sure if they're both shot, or if it's a wiring or fuse issue. Does anyone know where the fuses are? I only see the switch on the main...

Thanks Scott

I'm about to close and take delivery of a '99 Marlin with generator and AC. Foremost, a sincere THANK YOU to the entire GG community. I've searched and read numerous helpful and invaluable posts in helping me choose and learn about the Marlin. I'll have to inspect everything more closely when I...

On the '99 Marlin is the fish box the large space port side under the lower seating step? If so it seems like an awkward shape since it curves and narrows back deep on one side and I'm not sure how it drains. Do most people just use portable coolers as fish box instead of that area and use that...

Thanks that's very helpful! It sounds like the Marlin is the perfect hull for me and my next boat IF I'm willing to compromise on 2 stroke power and live with the additional noise, smoke and fuel burn of the OX66's, which I'm skeptical about coming from a single 4 stroke. Otherwise, I'll have to...

I'm researching my next boat and have zeroed in on these 3 models. I've read past comparison threads and I have a handle on most of the pros and cons of each, but I'm looking for more specific feedback on the differences in ride and stability. My closest reference frame, since I don't have...

Thanks! I found that type of adjustable double ball catch made by Seadog who calls it a stud catch. I mounted it on 1 side and it too broke, but I'm going to try again, mount it better and on both sides. For whoever was looking for a source, just do a google search for seadog stud catch - it...

Thanks!

Can anyone with a 265 tell me about or show me a picture of the latch mechanism which grady used on the 265 fold down transom? I have a fold down transom/wavegate on my scout with plastic clips which keep breaking. I've tried several solutions but I gather the 265 has some sort of latch which...
