Does anyone know how to remove the cabin window curtains .. ( 2007 Marlin) ?? Seams like there are plastic guides sewn into the curtains, but i cant figure out how to remove them .. Do I need to remove the screws that hold the track into the window valance ??

I removed mine when I first bought my boat and I can tell you it is much easier to remove than to re-install. Tight quarters!
The last nylon slide of each curtain has a square locking nut on both sides of it to hold it in place at the end of the track. Loosen (don't unscrew completely) the two nuts on one curtain and the inside nut on the other one and both curtains will slide off one end of the track. To re-install, reverse process and tighten screws. I have long arms and it took some effort.

II did mine this past season and here is the info on what you need for a decent replacement - I had looked online and the only thing I could find were custom curtains that were very expensive

50 PCS Curtain Clips Heavy-Duty Hook Clip Set, Stainless Steel Clips

Have to admit i would rather be fishing than hanging curtains but it did improve the appearance and smell of the cabin!
Cabin Curtain Repalcements
My original cabin interior curtain smelled of mildew and literally fell apart this year, so i decided it was had time to either replace or eliminate them. The boss made the decision we need replace. I removed the old one and saw that curtain slide were custom with sew in slides. A few on line...

I have a 2003 Sailfish 282. Call Lee at A&J Canvas. They made the window curtains for Grady and have some of the patterns. I ended up sending mine old ones down to them and then duplicated them for me like new. Not inexpensive but they did a nice job. Give Lee your hull number and she can cross reference it to an original pattern.

I removed mine off 06 Marlin to clean, tried everything and could not get black mold spots off. Never re-installed. Actually like the look without better. Why do you need them?
