I just want a full wrap around hard cabin for the PNW on a Marlin. Easy.

Just another place to find ratchet straps. They state that you can order stainless ratchets so I may try those. They are expensive but they have to stop a big boat if I hit something. http://customtiedowns.com/tie-downs/rat ... tie-downs/

If you folks have target bunks up front, could you take some photos for me? I have them but think they are not spaced correctly.

Jimintheair3, I live in Scappoose, moor in Garibaldi. Not too far from Vantucky. Feel free to PM during tuna. Do you know if the cause was ever established? Randy

After my first couple of months in a slip I noticed the growth on the skegs of my 250's. They do not come clear of the water. The lower water inlet is also where the lower unit gear lube drain is hiding. I just blasted the area with the pressure washer to remove the growth. Next year the...

I sent the inquiry to GW and am hopeful. I guess it is called a button. I've found a three screw stainless version and a four screw version withat a black plastic top. I'll update if I find one. Randy For the knowledge base:10-948 Is the part number.

I'm looking for a replacement latch on a Marlin fish box lid. No Grady dealer in Portland, OR. 10-948 Is the part number.

Last year my buddy boat had to cancel a tuna trip, one motor shut down. Yup, a bad anti-siphon valve. He went to check the other at the yard and it broke off when he touched it. My 2005 boat had issues with the anti-siphon valve and corrosion. I think it depends on the amount of salt water...

I just got the heavy duty kit made by Timesaver. I bought online at Defender, about $78. It looks very easy to use, I'll let you know in a week or so. I also have to mend some torn seams on my canvas. Buying rot resistant thread can be expensive. I found some PTFE solarfix thread online...

Spotted prawns make it necessary. I MUST have them!

I was hoping to get one more albacore trip in from the Oregon coast, but it looks as if the storms are lining up, 17' seas today with closed bars up and down the coast. I really need one more salty trip.

derx2 was kind enough to answer a PM and pointed me toward an option. We have a local Sportsman Show where the vendor will be be present with schedule 80 davits. They also make a break down model that could store under the cuddy storage. I have a current davit that fits a Scotty downrigger...

Has anyone installed a crab pot/shrimp pot Davit on a Marlin? I'm looking for some good installation ideas. I don't want to pull spot prawns by hand! 2007 Marlin.

I have DropBox to backup my photos and have tried to use them on some boards. I usually have trouble with the link showing a photo online but the link can be clicked and the photo can be viewed. Not ideal but it also cuts the download for those that are not that interested in the topic. So...

My boat is a 2007 Marlin. The snaps are all rusted, the zippers on some openings refuse to budge. Some stitching is coming undone. The plastic was not cared for and is milky. Is this a case where I'd have to send the front and sides to you? The drop curtain was rolled up and I don't think...

I'm watching this post for your followup.

Here is a link to one persons solution. http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-how ... stall.html The link was provided by MateSeries.

So I thought the idea of having two more rod holders in the back of the boat sounded good. I could use the rod storage as my boat looks like a porcupine heading over the bar. I bought two straight combo rod holders/cup holders to fit in the stern cup holder holes. I also bought the stainless...

Thanks for that input Scott. I usually also miss the best weather days and have to run in slop. Randy

I run offshore with a load of ice in a small tote and a kill bag or the fish box. For stability I've been using the stern fuel cell. My thinking was to maintain the fuel weight mid boat. So what is the experience on stability, does it matter whether I'm burning off the stern fuel cell or...
