I installed an Airmar B-275 series and the fairing was slightly larger than the pocket, plus would need some serious recontouring to fit the curved part of the hull correctly. I skipped using the fairing and just hung the brass in the pocket. It didn't perform well and I switched to a flat...

Pat, those Raymarine units do suck a lot of power... I have a good set on my 30 Grady and have set up the batteries in a way to maximize the available power to the house bank. I can't tell what boat you're running or how many batteries you have, but here's some tips I found helpful: 1- as...

Gosh you might be right... All I can remember is hanging my clothes on the coat rack there. But I now think you're correct there's one there too! My mind is getting really old... Thanks!

Cool... I count two lights in the Vee (one port and one starboard), one entering the cabin over the stairs, and one in the mid berth... where is the second light on starboard?

I had an idea and ran over to my SeaDek installer at lunch today. They had the dimensions off the scan on file and were able to provide me this data, just FYI. Looks like the Plano 108qt tote will fit, $26 at Home Despot.

Anyone do the air horn replacement? I've been able to keep these things looking OK... but they are losing their ooomph and will probably be dead in the forseeable future. Would love to know what others have replaced them with.

I already replaced the cabin dome light, I should probably do the head dome light too but it gets so little use and still looks decent. I replaced anchor light and bow lights a few years ago, they are seriously bright. Really just looking for the Skandvik suggestion. Will order 4!

Thanks guys! RC

My interior lighting fixtures on the 07 Marlin are getting old and showing their age. What have y'all replaced them with? I've already swapped the dome light with an LED replacement... this light would work for the head overhead light as well when it is time. How about the swivel base gold...

This is Stamoid fabric by the way. I did the drop down curtains with it too. Doesn’t shrink. Seems pretty rip-proof.

Here's an example for you to think about. I just had my local canvas shop make me one. Used d-rings and straps to attach to the hard top bracket to flow under the rocket launchers. I had to add some hardware to the transom. Sides hang with sand bags so I don't need to use fasteners, but when...

My cockpit was pitted and dinged up from downrigger cannonballs, lead weights, dropped knives, and maybe even some blisters. I wouldn't say it was extremely slippery, but I do know there have been people who have slipped. This SeaDek is really great looking over my dingy cockpit glass, and...

I worked in POW last fall, and I've been disenchanted with the boating (fishing) in WA so i decided to relocate the boat and fly in and out for my recreation. Not working, vacationing! That's a good idea on that Racor unit. I think the dock in Craig is busy enough the fuel will be reliable...

$7500 each. Sold quickly. Fuel cost was definitely an issue, we planned the trip when it was more reasonable. But even at the higher prices it was well less than half of barging via AML or the Ferry. The best way IMO would be to drive to Prince Rupert, but the ferry from Rupert to Ketchikan...

Interesting idea! Boat has heat gun... Yes POW is a gem.

Different boat, but I had a freshwater shower hose on my transom that I moved to a spigot above my saltwater washdown spigot. I added quick disconnects so I only need one hose and can swap from salt to fresh and back again.

Shoulda woulda coulda!!! Agreed.

Just did mine in the black SeaDek HD product. Looks great, and after a week of beating it up fishing it looks great. No dings or issues or debonding. Professionally installed.

I"m away from my boat for about 3 weeks, I'd like to put a storage box on the bow of my 2007 300 Marlin in the walkaround space just aft of the windlass... unfortunately the measurement I took before I left the boat has evaporated and my old mind can't remember if it was 15 or 17 inches wide box...

Last week ran the inside passage from Blaine, WA, to Craig, AK in 23 run hours, two nights on the dock. 1.3mpg was the best I got at 4300 RPM and 30kts (34.5mph). Averaged 1.0 for the entire trip including some bad weather and in and out of fuel docks, etc... Motors are sewing machine quality...
