    Marlin helm lounge seat backrest removal

    Anyone know how to remove the backrest so I can bring it somewhere to get repaired? My Marlin's a '99 - not sure if that matters. Thanks

    Marlin Stereo Upgrade

    I'm finally getting around to updating my stereo on my '99 Marlin. I'd prefer to keep everything under $1k, especially since there will be added installation costs, and I'll probably wait until a good sale since my season is almost over and I'd like to get this done before Spring launch...

    Interior window curtains

    On my '99 Marlin, any tips or advice on removing the interior window curtains for replacement? Do the entire tracks need to be removed or can you just carefully pry out the plastic knobs that slide inside the track and to which the curtains appear to be permanently attached?

    A/C pan and rust

    I currently have my fridge out to replace and there was about 1" of standing water in the bottom of the a/c pan. I have a '99 Marlin. I soaked up the water but there's a fair amount of rust and also I'm not sure if the pan has a drain (manual says it does but it's so cramped in there I couldn't...

    Marlin docking help stern to with wind

    I could use some tips on docking my Marlin stern to WITH the wind. Backing up with the wind (yikes) I keep losing the bow and then it seems like a split second until I'm too close broadside to my neighbors' slip to make any corrections other than to creatively pivot off one of the pilings on...

    Marlin Cabin Door Folding Hatch

    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...

    Marlin rear bilge access panel questions

    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...

    Marlin speaker wires

    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...

    Marlin sump pump & float switch

    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...

    Marlin - many thanks and questions

    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...

    Marlin Fish Box

    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...

    265, Sailfish, Marlin - Ride, Stability

    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...

    265 transom latch

    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...
