I have a 04' Marlin and am wanting to put on a new profish 700. Has any one done this and if so do you have any details or pictures of the install. Thanks for any help .

Is your boat pre-wired? That would save a lot of $$. I have a 92 and mine was pre-wired. I had the Marina install it, but I know there are posts with pix of the entire installation process.

I am replacing my old simpson/lowrence with a profish 700. The bolt patterns are totally different so I am using some marine board as a "shim" between the hull and the profish. All I have done so far is take the old windless off and pull some measurements. I'll keep you updated.

Even if prewired, you need to check the sizing of the existing feed and the requirements of the new windlass. The 700 requires a 50A breaker and draws 35A in normal mode.
Some Gradys were prewired for 40A service
