I know that this is not a new topic and it has been discussed before. I Just pulled he lower units on my F225s mounted on a 2003 Marlin with 700 hrs. on them for the biennial water pump replacement. I'm trying to decide if I have the corrosion plague that has been discussed frequently on this...

After spending all that money on a boat, Name the boat after your wife so she will stop complaining. My buddy named his after his wife, but wouldn't tell me the name until I saw it. Nice lettering on the side "Dragon Lady" Slacktime

I would not recommend running a HW heater off an invertor. The invertor might be rated for the power, but the voltage drop from the batteries will kill the deal. I have a 2500 W invertor fed from 2- 1 year old parallel group 29 batteries and two #1awg copper cables per pole not longer than two...

Re: Captains with Insurance from BoatU.S. Should Probably Re I have been using Markel https://www.markelamerican.com/Products ... lBoat.aspx I have no affiliation except being a client for my 03 Marlin 300 and they have been reasonably priced. They handled a claim for a stolen trailer a few...

Take a look at the Ryobi 2000 inverter generator. Half the price of the Honda and works well on a 300 Marlin. CO detector is a must in the cabin and it rune well on the swim platform secured by a safety line. I bought mine in Home Depot.

Who makes the windlass? Is it a Lewmar?

I have similar performance to capt. ed with F225s on a '03 Marlin. In good weather and tweaking the trim for the sweet spot, I can get 1.4 -1.5 NMPG. I have seen from other posts that the 225s are have a little lower consumption but may be a bit slower on the top end compared to the 250s...

Hi g0tagrip, I needed to replace all 4 batteries on my 03 Marlin. I used 4 Group 29 deep cycle batteries because I wanted to be able to run things whan I am away from shore power. They are slightly larged than the stock battery trays so you will have to replace those, but it was worth the...

I had the same problem on my '03 Marlin. I took the chair apart and painted the arms with Krylon Fusion ($3.95 @ Home Depot). I applied multiple coats over about 10 days following instructions on can. They look great and are holding up well so far this season. Also if they get discolored...

Does it sound like it's grinding? How old is the unit? I had a similar problem with the windlass on my '03 Marlin. Mine had a burned out motor and Lewmar wanted over $300 to replace it. I found a guy in the UK who used to work for them and he sells the parts for it. I was able to get a new...

I had a similar problem with the windlass on my '03 Marlin. There are 3 very long bolts that extend down to the anchor locker fastened with locknuts. You can see them with a mirror. It was not easy to maneuver a wrench down there to loosen them, but with enough patience you can take them off...

I've posted this before, but have not received a reply to date. I thought I would bring it up again. thanks

The first things I would check are the fuel filters.

For something like that they should pay you to take it away!

JTM I have an '03 Marlin. It has the MAIN/AUX switch on the second to right switch on the lower row on the console and indicates the level on the digital speedometer. You can download the owner's manual using the link below to get more info. http://www.gradywhite.com/customer/manu ...

I have a Simrad AP 26 on my 03 Marlin with twin F225s. It works well and interfaces to any NMEA 0183 or 2000 GPS. This model is now obsolete and I believe the replacement is the AP 24.

Has anyone replaced the interior window curtains in a Marlin? I took them out and washed them, but there are still stubborn stains that will not come out from years of use. I gave them to the admiral who used all of her skills to get them clean, but they still have that old grayish look and I...

Look at my post from 14 Nov 2010: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15159 This applies to a Marlin, but maybe it will help. Re: Marlin Tackle Station by Slacktime » Nov Sun 14, 2010 11:08 am Thanks for the info Guys. I found the Flambeau Tuff Tainer Zerust boxes C98-05004, 14.25" X 9" X 2" fit...

I have a 2003 Marlin that I purchased from a bank also in Oct 2010. I also have a friend in the Trophy/plaque business. He made me a lamacoid number plate that I glued into the bilge area under the rear seat with 5200. Anybody with an engraving machine can make one of these for short money...

Today was haulout day for my 03 Marlin :( and I finally replaced the poppet valves. Inspection showed no particular signs of wear, but since I already bought the new ones, I put them in. No big deal to do it once the plastic cowling is removed.
