    Best way to clean off mildew

    x14. When I had our new to us 2007 Marlin surveyed, there was significant mildew located in multiple compartments. x14 was the first word out of the surveyor's mouth. It's really a household mildew product that is available everywhere. So, I tried it. Wow! Amazing results.

    Fuel vent thru hull replacement

    New to me, 2007 Marlin. The fuel vent thru hull is in need of replacement. See pics. What is Grady currently using for this application. Easy access via the aft cabin port side panel so replacement "should" be a DIY project. Lots of time on my hands with "the virus". I'm sheltering in place on...

    Fresh water wash down

    Another great idea. I had seen this technique on YouTube. Great tip to run hole saw in reverse to score the gel coat. Thanks!!

    Fresh water wash down

    That may be the answer. The depth of the material to remove is quite substantial. Hole only needs to be enlarged a little though in diameter. It will be slow going, but doable I think

    Fresh water wash down

    I am engaged in the same project on 2007 Marlin. Original fixture was plastic. Removed it the other day to replace with the "new style" stainless like you have pictured. The hole saw cut hole is too small. Noodling now on how to enlarge the existing hole to accept the new fixture. Thoughts...

    2007 Marlin diesel tank question

    There is no visual access to the sending unit other than via the aft hatch and crawling in to look at it. Given that, it would make sense I suppose to have the option of connecting an aux gauge in a more visually friendly location. Agreed on the dry rot gasket and it's on the spring list. In...

    2007 Marlin diesel tank question

    New to me 2007 Marlin. It has a PF generator with associated oem diesel tank. The tank top has a gauge/sending unit that is not connected. There are electrical connections that should lead somewhere. Helm fuel gauge maybe. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I've attached pics of the...

    Marlin Height On A Trailer:

    We purchased an 07 last fall and had it commercially hauled from CT to Maine. The radar dome & associated pillar had to be removed to stay under the legal limit.

    2007 Marlin aft bench seat bracket

    Am in the process of having the aft bench seat reupholstered. In doing so, I would like to restore the two metal (rubberized texture surface) brackets that are part of the assembly. They are attached vertically on the transom face. They appear to be aluminum with a rubberized paint. Any...

    228G Seafarer Advice on inside cushions along gunwales

    Thought I'd add a thought too, as I've replaced bolsters on my old Gulfstream and am currently doing them on our Marlin. Regarding the grommets/stainless steel screws along lower edge of bolsters....I stopped using them altogether. The upper circular hole clips fit very snug so the lower screws...
