Anyone every upgraded their windlass to a faster retrieve model with a free fall release system? I hate how long it takes to drop anchor.

This is for the benefit of anyone who has a problem in the future. My trim tabs would not deploy. On a 2004 Marlin, the pump is on the port side panel (on the wall) in the v-birth. 1. Check the fluid in the pump unit, fully deployed the fluid should be about 2 inches from the bottom 2...

Hey guys, Both of my trim tabs stopped working. I noticed it on the ride home this evening. Does anyone know where the inline fuses would be for these on an '04 marlin? I assuming it must be inline fuses and not something else, as both are not working. Thanks in advance!

The seacock handles on my '04 grady are completely shot where the little rocker arm connect to the seacock. Not sure if they changed this lovely choice of material, I imagine they did. But I am in need of replacing all my Seacocks. All of them are rusted out and one already broke. I have...

Has anyone had any experience adding a tower to a Marlin? Mine is an 04. Wondering, good vendors, and how does it affect the characteristics of the boat, including stability, ride quality, performance and economy. Thanks-

Do any of you use any type of 'blow-up' raft to ferry to shore etc? We like to take the kids (3 & 5) to the beach in our Marlin and I really think that I would prefer a raft of some sort so that I can anchor a little ways from the traffic fray. Need to think about size, or blow it up just...

First-off, I love this site. So mad props to you for a fine board. However, I think it is very irresponsible to remove the threads about the Arc-Tec guy. We all use these sites as a way to inform each other on a variety of topics, including who to use and who NOT to use. This guy has been on...

Went to the boat last night, dropped the 225 4s in the water and started the boat, motor was down about 3/4 into the water. The intake and exhaust were definately submerged. After about 5 minutes of idling I noticed a white smoke coming from the engine exhaust, almost like a 2s. Any ideas? Do...

Can anyone tell me the deadrise on the 330's? Thanks!

Hello all- Been a lurker here for about a year. We are seriously considering either a 330 or the stamas 320. For my wife it is all about the cockpit and the cabin. I want outboards and a quality fishing boat. Our price point likely puts us in the position of a 02-05 330 GW Express, since...
