I have the 2001 Marlin. Same problem. I sucked it up and took the pump apart. It's not that hard to do. After taking it apart, I cleaned it up and got a pair of pliers gave it a turn and lubed it up. Worked great but after a few weeks of non-use, it seized again. Cleaned it a few times...

Thanks to all of you for all your posts. It gave me the courage to tackle this mission on my 2001 Marlin. Macerator fixed after removal, cleaning, and oiling the shaft. :dance Now onto the tank level monitor. Cleaned this up and this seems to work. :) The only remaining piece is the...

My bad. I meant 3 strand and not triple braid. :sorry

Thanks for the response Captain Bill. The rim is what's gone. Forget about getting a glass person to make one - it'll probably be the same price as two deep sea rod/reels! I was thinking of either making one out of wood or trying to salvage what is left with fiberglass casting tape if I...

The aft storage box in my Marlin finally gave way. I tried to order a new one from my local dealer who informed me that it is no longer made - in 2004 the Marlin design changed - the back bench is different. Has anyone run into a similar situation and figured out a good solution or does...
